Couldn't connect to the internet today...said the wire wasn't connected or the device on the other end wasn't working. Since that would be the router currently allowing me to type this message, I think it's the wire. Damned cheapass little plastic connectors for Ethernet cables. The dog got tangled and tugged a bit...and I think that was enough to damage the wire at the computer. I'm going to get a new wire Sunday, and hopefully, that'll fix the problem. If it doesn't, it's off to the Mac Store to get my computer checked. Thank gawd for Mac Care plans. And failing that....it MIGHT be the router, although it's still fairly new. Under warrantee I thnk since I believe we got it last YEAR. Gawd this sucks. Wish I had a computer expert living in house. >.<!!!! Anyhow, I have email and FA access, so I can still be contacted. Just...a lot slower.
