Cool site of the
day
These guys have cool costume costumes and armor. They look expensive to
me, but I bet you can find what you are looking for there.
Remote Diagnostics
So, we called SBC to come fix the frigging phone. It turns out to that
some one had multiple lines in that apartment before. We had to
un-multi-line it. Ninety something bucks. Bastards. The line still
sounds scratchy. Anyway, The DSL stopped working Nat says. "It worked
for a minute after the guy left, then quit."
"That sounds funny." I say to myself. I make an attempt to long in
using VNC. It works. I can get
to all the computers, but I can't get from the computers back out onto
the net. I can even hit my
own web page where all my pictures are stored.. It looks like port
80 is blocked from the inside.
I asked Nat to reset the modem, but that didn't help. I asked her to
reset the router, but it is behind a toolbox. The toolbox is not where
I want it. We still have not finished unpacking, so everything is in
disarray. Well, I attempt to log into the router via one of the other
computers. It does not prompt me for the normal user name and password.
Ah, It begins to make sense. The router really is dead. For some reason
it is blocking port 80 on the inside of the network. Nat can't get
behind the toolbox. It will have to wait until I get home to pull the
plug.
The whole thing took like ten minutes.
Special thinks to Sylvia, my boss, for teaching me diagnostic skills. I
use them on a daily basis.
It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.
