Hermione Vice Admiral Registered: 07/24/03 Posts: 371 Loc: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada	OK got the address from google 198.168...something. Went in there and secured the network. Now my laptop hangs up at "Acquiring Network Address". I've reset the network configurations, restarted the computer (many times) and rebooted the modem and router, but still no connection. Any thoughts? Something for me to try? _________________________ 1977 Century 200TR Bowrider "Hermione" (OMC Stringer, Ford 190 Hp) 2002 Ford F150 4x4 King Ranch SuperCrew http://www.engraver1.com/abc/62.jpg
