I'm home, sorta

[febobe]

I'm mooching off a neighbour's wireless while we try desperately to find the document with the hex keys for my own secured router. . .but I just had to come say hi and let y'all know I made the drive back safely.

For those following my health, that's. . .ergh. Ended up cancelling all plans for today in favour of the TNT LOTR marathon in my nightie after last night saw a major increase in coughing and a temp spike to 102 with shaking chills (I didn't give it a chance to do more than that; I took some Advil then).

If this had been where I used to live, I'd have already been at the hospital last weekend (when my temp hit 102.9), but these rural hospitals will more likely kill you than not, in my experience, so no thank you.

Anyhow, keeping an appt with the nurse practitioner in the AM, so hopefully I'll have something to report after that, preferably good news about a stronger antibiotic or something.

Still in a lotta pain. Taking Advil instead of my stronger stuff, though, since it'll help keep the fever under control as well.

Anyway, getting online was fairly idiot-proof. I was pleased. :)

Love you folks.

PS - Anyone know any ways to get around that encryption key thing? I'm guessing not; that's the point of it, but. . .just asking.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Here's to getting better soon!

As far as the encryption key. No way around it except to reset your router to factory defaults. Mine has a button on the back, some have a little hole that you have to poke at with an unbent paperclip. Then you have to re-setup the router from scratch. Not terribly difficult, just sort of a pain in the keister.

To get around the encryption, plug your laptop physically into the router with the cable that is/was in the desktop. You should be able to access the 'net then, and access the router to reset the encryption. :)

You'll have to put in a username and password to get into the router; I don't remember if we left it at the default stuff, or if you put something else in... if you can't remember and can't find anything that might have the info in it, resetting the router like someone else mentioned will put it back to the factory settings (and the default router password), so you can start over with that and the encryption.

Oh, and... ****cuddlesnuggles****
