Tankies all who wished me a happy b-day! (It was 5/5. I turned 40.)

I'm just dropping by to say, Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!

*Ahem* I mean just dropping by to say 'hi' and assure you that I'm still around.

Update on my life:

Can you pull up the configuration page in a browser (most routers use the ip address 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, though some use 192.168.10.1 and even one that used 192.168.100.1)? What's the make and model of the router? Also, Have you confirmed with your provider that they can see your router from their offices?

Assuming you use windows, try the following:

click on start
click on 'run'
type CMD in the window that appears and hit 'ok'
In the window that appears, type the following"

"c:> tracert www.livejournal.com"

the resulting out put should have the router's address as teh first address you see; that's the value to enter into the browser's address bar.

give it a try.

Do any of the lights on the router light up? If not, my guess would be that since you've other electrical problems (old-style fuses can still be purchased at most hardware stores), the router itself is probably fine, but your power adapter is a crispy critter. A generic replacement can be had at Best Buy or Radio Shack. Then again, routers are finicky beasts and given the low cost of home routers nowadays, it'd probably be best to replace the whole thing and avoid the chance that the surge also blew out the ethernet ports.

Squatter? What?

Cats? No thanks, I've already got four. But if you do decide to skin it, I hear the meat is quite tasty.

No power to the phones? Loooong extention cords until you get that fuse replaced. Works for me...

Re: son. Hehe, did I ever mention hubby used to be a game tester? This is years and years ago. His name shows up in a SNES game (I think) called The Lost Vikings. It's not a glamorous job. The game testers at his company also got to do things like paint the company's lobby : o

Always so nice to see you in LJ land!

Eh? Happy belated! BTW skinning alive would be very messy: there's more than one way to skin a cat, m'dear.

*pause*

Hee. I just wanted to say that. God also killed half a dozen kittens for that remark, but someone has to keep the rampant cat population under control.
