Back to work

After a nice 10-day break it's back to work tomorrow. The first few days of the break was like forever, then the rest of the week just flew past. I can't believe I used to have 3 whole months off while I was at uni. What did I do with my time then!! I guess like many things, I don't appreciate it until I don't have it anymore :(

My wireless router has been acting up, just when I decide to use its wireless feature after having that turned off for a few months. I have tried everything - rebooting, changing the channels, changing the security settings (including disabling wireless security. That's naughty I know but I have to prove that the router is stuffed) and turning off the zero wireless config service in SP2. DHCP just won't work and the network disappears after a random period of time. The wired network is fine and I've had no problems for the last 10 months. The only thing that has been changed was that the laptop was upgraded to SP2. Now wasn't that supposed to provide better wireless functionality? Good thing though is that I am not the only one experiencing these problems. There are stacks of ppl having the same problem with that router. I should send it back to the vendor to get it fixed (when I get around to it). Errr I should've read the forums before buying the router...
