Friggin ... *grumble grumble*
It seems like I have to reconfigure my internet connection on a regular basis anymore, and not once can it be as simple as 'plug and play', even in windows.
While my brother was at Office Depot last night he bought a D-Link DWL-G510 wireless PCI adapter. The first problem was whatever genius decided not to put Windows 9x drivers on the installation CD. To fix that I had to download them on the business computer and copy them to this computer, but that couldn't be simple either because I couldn't find a floppy disk and the CD burner wasn't working. Finally my sister let me use her flash drive and I copied the drivers for windows and linux over here.
( Collapse )
Oh, and during all this I found out my CD/DVD R/RW drive is having the same trouble the business computer's cd r/rw drive is having. Luckily I still have my old regular cd/dvd drive, but that still means I can't write cds or dvds anymore. Frickin' sucks.
Oh well. I'll figure something out eventually. I need to unwind now.
