Doing this properly this time...

[themegaloo]

SO as I was typing up an entry yesterday I was interrupted by a knock at the door. I thought little of it, figuring I'd answer it, finish my entry and take a much-needed nap. Clearly that did not happen as the door-knocking fairies saw fit to bring me my new laptop MUCH SOONER THAN I EVER EXPECTED!!! So instead of sleeping, I attempted to make my internet work properly. Note, attempted.

I am having an ISSUE. I connect to our wireless perfectly, Excellent signal strength and everything, which means my speend should be pretty fucking fantastic, right?

Wrong. I get ONE MBPS!!! As a general rule. Occasionally when I fiddle with the settings on my wireless card I can get it to jump up to 11 or 5.5. My other computers typically get 11. So I get minimal, half, or typical. But 90% of the time I'm getting 1 mbps except for when I called Dell last night, finally got a HUMAN BEING and it suddenly jumped to 18.

So. Flist. I could use some IDEAS here. I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I've turned IPv6 on and off to no avail, I've swapped between all the wireless modes, I've disconnected, reconnected, rebooted the modem, rebooted the router, changed setting and none of them fixed the problem for a period of longer than five minutes.

I THINK it's an issue where my router is not properly compatible as it was HERE when we moved in and didn't belong to the most dependable of people before that. It's probably a good few years old. Linksys.


Inspiron 1525
Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Linksys Wireless B broadband router model BEFW11S4 24GHz 802.11b
Modem: Siemens SpeedStream 6520 "Wireless ADSL Gateway" Should this work without the linksys? It has a Wireless flashing light but we've always hooked the linksys router into it without a problem

But as I mentioned VERY briefly yesterday, I read Fairy Tail over the weekend. It's cracky and funny, even if the main female is pretty irksome for most of her pagetime. The supporting characters totally make up for it. The premise is SORT of similar to One Piece, but mostly in how the characters act than in any sort of plot. It's about mages. Different magic powers and Fairy tail is one of the Guilds. The crazy guild, of course. And all I think I should have to say to make you all want to read it is this:

Gray Fullbuster has an issue with accidental nudity. See icon to know who I am talking about, though he looks rather disgusted just there. It is suiting as I am disgusted with my internet. >OOO

But yes. That is all. Now to shower and go to work. Whee.

Uh... maybe it has something to do with ports? I've had difficulty with those, but that was while setting up a bit torrent client. I dunno. Devon, being the computer god he is, deals with all of my internet connectivity issues. I know, I'll fly Devon down there to take a look at it for you!

...

Never mind.

Ports are strangely one thing I DON'T know much about. Hm. I'll see what I can come up with. though i have discovered now that I'm at WORK and using it on a different network, it's just fine and dandy. SIGH.

Hahaha XD ♥

[knockout-mouse.livejournal.com]

It's definitely probably a router issue in that case.

Look at me being an expert!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm figuring. I just wish it were something I could point a pointer at and fix instead of, yanno, fixing the ROUTER issues. Gah.

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

Yay for computers and nakedness!

Boo for computer problems.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed!!

It works PERFECTLY where I'm stealing wireless at work from! *abuses it*

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

Just continue to steal!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

That's the basic plan for the moment. >DD I'll scope out better routers later. Or maybe I'll get dad to do it for me. :D

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

OR STEAL FOREVER AND NEVER HAVE TO PAY!!!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

BUT I HAVE TO PAY ANYWAYS, I ALREADY PAY FOR IT AS PART OF RENT AND STUFF.

And stealing at home only really worked OUTSIDE.

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

Curses. Your thieving ways will never work!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

They really won't. WOE IS ME ;_;

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

Will my love fill your void?

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

.....I don't know. It MIGHT.

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

It will have to do for now.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

....I will learn to cope with time!!

[nickelodeon.livejournal.com]

HURRAY!!!!!111

[jazzyjello.livejournal.com]

No idea about the computer problem but I hope it gets fixed. :/

HMM. Maybe I'll give Fairy Tail a try. I am somewhat intrigued.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yeah me too. I'm pretty sure about what I have to do, I just don't want to HAVE to.

You should! It's good times and short! A great way to kill time waiting for OP. ;)

[jazzyjello.livejournal.com]

I LIKE GOOD AND SHORT. I was GOING to actually read the OP manga but that will take a while. So who knows. I'm sure I'll look into Fairy Tale sooner or later.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! It is a rather...long undertaking, I understand. ♥ All i can do is give it my seal of approval! ;)

[xredribbon.livejournal.com]

Computer problems suck so hard.

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes I know. ;___;

[knockout-mouse.livejournal.com]

OK, I know I already commented on this one... FIRST! BAHAHAHAHA!!

*ahem*

But, I think that I should tell you that your door-knocking fairies amuse me to no end.

Much love!

[themegaloo.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA. XD I love how you come back a few days later and still make me laugh. I'D FORGOTTEN I EVEN PHRASED IT THAT WAY!!

I am glad it brought you amusement! ♥!

[knockout-mouse.livejournal.com]

Hooray for laughter!
