darn computers

Wait 2 weeks for the darn computer to come in.
Open it up at lunch today, get it all started up, blah blah.
Can't connect to the internet. Internet's there - says its connected. Same internet we used before. Won't open a page. Didn't have enough time at lunch to figure it out, so now I know what I'll be doing after work.

Argh. What an aggravation.

You usually have to have the disk from the internet provider to get the right program on the computer.

Never have before - this is third computer I've had on this connection. And my sisters have had their computers here no problem.

Dont think I even have a disk to be honest. One of my sisters has comcast - I'll see if she has one I can bum

Had to have the Comcast disk to get my F-I-L's to work over here so he could get some updates he needed.

just checked with my sister - she doesn't have one either. They just got on comcast a few months ago. may just wind up having to go to the office at lunch tomorrow I guess!

Thanks for reminding me about the disk's existence though - it's a good start.
