Just found out she already filed

[ImprovedRomeo]

kat, I hear you but it sounds so cold. Maybe because I work in the field and it's two lines I have to write back to get her out of the jam. So hard to resist helping her but I completely see your point.

NM, yes I'm feeling conflicted (not hard to do) you know it's funny when I asked her to get DD a hat and flipflops for my house since she took the other ones and she's always out shopping the sales at Macy's etc yet I never even went shopping for my own clothes for 10 years. Well, she just sent me a one liner a day or two later 'I saw cheap sandals at Old Navy for DD...hope that helps'. So telling her to get her own dsl modem/router was kinda inline with her response.

So two options:

"Push the reset button on the back with a pointy object. Change the IP of your laptop to 192.168.1.5 then fire up the browser to connect to 192.168.1.1 and login with the password 'admin'"

or

"I suggest that you get the 2wire modem's working properly rather than trying to connect the msft access point to it. I'm sure if you call ATT's tech support they can help you with that."

I think she'll probably be chatting up the IT guys at her work. She's good at 'oh i'm a helpless cute looking chick who likes geeks...can you help me?' - hey it worked on me lol
