My D-Link router on my 'puter crashed, so I'm restricted to posting from my phone and from work. :(

Crashed? Literally crashed? Or something less definitive? ???

I got several hours worth of error reports as soon as I loged onto the web. I  right clicked on the "repair network connection" several times whithout effect. I shut down my computer for an hour and re-started it. It seems to be working so far, but the "linxys" network I was using is no longer there.

You might want to reboot the router. If you have all settings saved, it's probably better to cut all power to it for a minute or two, and then start it up again.

Is it a combined router/modem, or just a router?

I think it's just a router 'cause I grab whatever free networks I can. :ninja:

Sit back and grab a drink Callaway, time does heal all wounds. My brother died when I was 13, a block away from our house. I heard the car crash but luckily didn't get up to see what happened.

How old was he when it happened?

He was 16. It was on a friday night. He went to the local drive-in and got drunk with some friends. He didn't want to come home drunk, so he went to a friends house to stay the night, but he wasn't there. So he drove into our nieghborhood the back way which was a street down a steep hill with a sharp turn at the end. He was going about 60 mph down the hill and didn't make the turn. He slammed, drivers-side door first, into a tree. The drivers door was bent into a perfect half-circle. Our house was a block away, I heard it happen.  :-\

I'm so sorry.  That must have been very difficult for you.  I can't even imagine losing my brother at 16.

That's a tough one. Good thing you didn't investigate the sound of the crash. I could never resist.

He'd better find out what the problem with the ISP he's been stealing using is. :laugh:
