But you don't know what killed it. I was at a friends working on a project. We didn't install or change anything on the computer. The computer lost connectivity and I found the wireless network card could only do DHCP (IP addrerss but no ping, browsing, telnet etc). Dragged a cable over and plugged it in directly to the router and the wired NIC did the same thing. After hours of tinkering with various fixes there was no difference. My friend was imaging the computer to an external drive as I suggested so we just restored the image and networking worked again.




What WOULD be nice is if VZW, whos software caused the problem in the first place,

But you don't know that. Computers are way too complex to declare a simple cause/effect relationship.


had ONE PERSON the 611 humanoids could switch your call to who knew
SOMETHING about the problem and how to restore it, or how to make the aircard work with it. The "expert" I talked to had to put me on hold and go consult some voodoo priest in-the-back-somewhere, or was just sitting me on hold hoping he wouldn't have to say anything about the bug, again.

It's just a feeling I got from the attitude change the instant I mentioned the problem.....
