Today was a bad day for networking.
First of all, my firewall died on me, causing my iMac to refuse all connections which confused the router. After fixing the firewall, the router was still confused and didn't acknowledge there was an Ethernet cable plugged into it.
After rebooting the firmware on the thing, it still wasn't recognizing the damn cable, accessing the router via my Nintendo Wii. I was like oh teh noes. After trying three cables to no avail, I decided to try setting up the WiFi. Copied all the details from the Internet Channel, connected, then told me I did not have an IP address.
At this point, I went to have a sandwich.
Then I came back and went through all of my settings. It was at this point I found out that the firewall software itself had hijacked the network settings and said that there would be no more incoming connections. Which wasn't good.
Stupid security software. It's alll supervellous though now.
And I need to stop posting posts beginning with Today.
Oh well. =)
