Apologies for not being around much recently.
I got ran over and busted my foot and ribs. This was followed by the computer blowing up so off to the computer shop and it was quite amuzing watching my try and carry a PC out on crutches.
4 days it took to set up and get on the wireless network. What a job that was.
Being hit by the car took quite a bit out of me. I had a few problems sleeping and a few head aches from the bump on my head (which left a nice mark in the windscreen of the car).
But I am back now. Can't say I will spent much time online today as I am out most of the day but I will be back posting before you know it.
Thanks to all those who have checked up on me via MSN, PM and email. I am on the speedy road to recovery now and will be back in full swing before you know it.

Welcome back Alex, we've really missed you and TM is all the better to see you here again. Hope you recover fully soon !

Ooh, bad week Get well soon .

Tell me about it! I spent a week trying to network a Windows and an Ubuntu PC and they still refuse even to accept the slightest possiblity of each other's existence!

Suggest you take them both out for a romantic candlelit dinner and leave them to get better acquainted!

Welcome Back AJ Would not be the same without you. Yes networks can be a right pain. When i got my wireless router i had nothing but problems for about a week.

It's great to see you back, AJ.

Welcome back .

Sounds like you had a bit of a bad week! Good to see you back

Top tip, by the way:

Always turn on encryption if you're using WiFi. You really don't want the neighbours sniffing your traffic

Tomo, funny you should say that... We moved house back in April and it was a week before they could come and install our broadband so I hopped on the one down the road
I have set up the mac filtering on mine

sorry to hear your bad news AJ. Hope that all's well now

nah, we're nice guys and we have unlimited broadband

And our neighbours don't have a computer...

Have you heard of FON? Brilliant idea.

Some of my friends with Nintendo DS's know which houses are not encrypted so they can play with each other and stuff

i
hate
networking...

especially when dealing with wireless, there is no simple solution. and when there is, you just missed a step or something

Good to have you back Alex - hope you recover fully and quickly
