Lately I haven't had the time to post updates. Just too busy right now. I had a little accident with the lawnmower on Sunday and broke the toe next to the little pinky toe on my right foot. I'm very annoyed with life on crutches. I can drive but can't walk until the pain subsides some more. Should be able to go back to cycling in a few weeks. My sister's wedding is in three weeks so I may be back at the mall looking for a pair of flats to wear with the bridesmaid gown. The bright side is that I need some time to get some stuff done that I usually make excuses not to do. Like Roth IRA allocations and financial planning and updating financial software.
On Monday I tried to install a Netgear router and was on the phone with Dell and Netgear technical support for literally four hours. And another few hours fiddling with the set-up. After all that, we could not get my laptop to connect to the router. So basically an entire wasted day on nothing. I decided to give up on going wireless in my house. It is not worth six hours of my time to set up. That hurt far worse than breaking my toe. I hate computers.

Take the Netgear back and buy a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I've set up 6 or 8 and have never had a problem getting a computer to connect.

Sorry to hear of the injury. Hope you're on the mend real soon.

I'm with Howard on this. I have the WRT54G and haven't had a problem configuring it. Linksys support is great, and they have a Web based tool that you can use to set up your router which works pretty great.
