So.

Here are the lessons I've learnt thus far:

Before you ring the fellows in IT to wail at them about how your work laptop is at odds with your wireless network at home, check that your bloody wireless card is actually switched on Yeh. Clever thing about a Toshiba, it's got a switch. Guess which position mine was in? Go on, do

Good advice. I managed to discover the same situation with my work Dell, but only after I'd reinstalled the driver (well, forced Windows to rediscover the device and install the driver).

Argh. I suppose the moral to the story is 'the obvious answer is likely correct'.

[0ccam]

Oh, you mean the colloquial "occam's razor"?? ;)

*blush*
Ah...sure.
(I'm such a trog, I know I should have heard of that...and I have done...only...criminey.)

[youngraven]

Ah well. At least I didn't pour it over anything electronic.

it's ok. when i'm not stating the obvious i miss seeing the obvious. don't feel bad.

and sorry about your tea. it'd had enough, hadn't it? what it really wanted to be when it grew up was a steaming cup o' joe. sad, really.

It was trying to escape being consumed. In the end, I triumphed. Alright, so perhaps it was a Pyrrhic victory, but I won, damn it.

I wish my wireless would work. And my CD/DVD drive. :'(

[youngraven]

Why don't they? Was there a jell-o shot accident?

[shaddow]

Heh, a physical switch huh? OK. I'll know that next time...

[youngraven]

Yes. To the immediate left of my mic jack. I looked down and thought 'oh'. Yeh.
