[dba-Tech] For Rocky - Wireless Networking

I was thinking of going over to Fry's today and get an 11g router.  But if
it's no more stable than the b there's probably no good reason to do it.

I changed channels again but it didn't seem to do any good.  The signal is
good and the wireless network is connected but I don't get email or internet
access.

When I look at the IP address it's not a good one - it should be in the
192.168.1.n range and it's some other strange address.  I got it reset this
morning and now it's working but very very slowly.

Also when I look at the available networks dialog box, I'm seeing a network
called 'thewunetwork' there along with our wire less network which is named
'linksys' (I should probably change that).

Any clues form all this?

Rocky
