I don’t know which I dislike more

When Laurie moved into our new place I moved my DSL with SBC/AT&T to her/our new place, along with my Linksys Wireless Router.
I never had a problem with it when it as at my old loft and I used my XP laptop.
But for some reason, Linksys and Mac don’t like each other. In fact despite their work on the iPhone I don’t think AT&T and Macs like each other either.
Laurie’s Mac works fine when it’s plugged into the router but everytime we tried to make it wireless it would suddenly screw up the Internet connection and both of us would be booted from the Internet.
It took several weeks and phone calls before I was able to finally get both of our computers running fine.
Then during our lazy Sunday afternoon the Internet went down. I don’t know what happened. But it went down. Good ole’ AT&T.
I worked on it for about 30 minutes and said forget it – I don’t want this headache right now.
I tried again later and we discovered we were back at square one. The Mac keeps booting the Internet connection.
Somewhere along the way, while trying to get the Internet back up, the router was reset and it apparently lost all the settings we had worked on to get the Mac talking to the router and Internet fine.
I worked on it later Sunday night, Monday evening and now again for nearly 3 hours tonight. And still no progress.
I guess I’m going to have to suffer through another tech phone call and being told to “be sure your router is plugged in correctly.”
Arrrgh.
Like I said, I don’t know which I dislike more… Linksys, AT&T or Macs. But considering my Gateway and Toshiba laptops with XP installed on them haven’t hick-up’d once since I turned the Mac off…. I think I know which one I’m leaning towards.

  1. My mac is great, it’s obviously the lynksis router that’s the problem…my mac would never cause problems!
