I have been off work the past 2 days sick. I was getting the chills and was afraid I was going to get real sick. I guess when the temperature is 3 degrees this will happen. I just had an interesting learning experience. I was setting up a router and was having difficulties. I thought there was an IP conflict but I wasn't sure. I was doing this for a customer and I have had the same problem in the past with Netgear routers. I swore all of the Netgear routers I was getting were bad. Well I actually had to call tech support. (ACCKK!) I found out that Netgear routers and Verizon modems are setup with the same default IP address. Now, what I want to know is why in the hell doesn't Netgear tell you that this could happen? I could not find anything in the FAQ pages at Netgear on this. I had to call tech support and they told me quite quickly what the problem was. This just pisses me off! I spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out. I am glad that the customer was understanding. They were about to go and buy a new router on my device when I sort of figured this out. Ok next. I called Verizon about my Palm Treo 700p problem. They are going to send me a new phone by Thursday. I hope I have better luck with this one! Well I am going back to work tonight so wish me luck. I hope I stay healthy.
