After working on an ancient desktop monster of a computer that crashes and freezes at will for two months, I realized something. I have been trying to figure out how to reset the wireless modem/router so that I could bypass the firewall, change the passwords, and get online with my laptop.

I have tried EVERYTHING for almost 2 months...resetting the modem/router (all in one system). It wouldn't reset and I didn't have the password to access the settings for it. Since it is old, it's not under warranty. I called customer service and they did everything they could, other than having me send it in for service. No luck. I searched all over for the password and couldn't find it anywhere. Today I went to the cable company and got a wireless modem and will have to buy a router soon. I was planning on doing it today.

Until...

I realized something.

I simply unplugged the ethernet cord from the ancient desktop computer and plugged it into my laptop. It tethers me to the modem, but at least I can work on my laptop again!

I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out...it has to be the brain injury healing. I guarantee you, blogging world, I am NOT that stupid!!!

Sheesh! :o)
