Internet connection problem
Yesterday morning all was fine—I was able to log onto the internet as usual on our home wireless connection.
But then last night (at home) I couldn't log on. When I try, I get the Address Not Found box. (Nothing had changed: No one had used the machine and nothing about our home network had changed. All of the other computers—PCs—in the house are connecting fine.)
It seems to work fine on other WiFi networks.

Sometimes you just need to restart your base station.

Re: Internet connection problem
I was just being absurd because static IP addressing doesn't fix every problem in the world.

Re: Internet connection problem

The problem I see with entering a static IP is that most people don't know anything about networking or subnets.

Re: Internet connection problem
You have to call them. There will probably be an additional monthly charge.

Re: Internet connection problem
When we called they told us that the computer would figure it out on its own. Had to start poking around windows but somehow I found it and set up the office network.
I would not my trust isp for that stuff much longer.
