EDIT-
i called router tech support and they said i most likely need to bridge connections...ill post if i fix this to let you guys know...

ok, i just got a new laptop along with a wireless router. i have dsl w/ an external modem and from the people i asked at bestbuy and other places..they said that I needed to connect my wireless router from a CAT-5 from my external modem into the WAN port on the wireless router. Since my desktop is right there near the wireless router..im just gonna go wired for that from the wireless router (it has 4 ethernet ports on the back).

so my real question is....the wireless isnt working for my laptop...i have the right encryption key (ive triple cheked that), ive double checked that i have the right channel and i have that. I have tried 128, 64, and no encryption and each still hasn't worked. i think its a problem with the router or something because i can connect to my friends wireless network with no problems...with my desktop i can only connect with the CAT-5 in the external modem and not in the wireless router...

when i connect to our network, it says im connected with the correct wireless network name and it says the signal strength is good. i can also get to the router config from the laptop..ive tried allowing an exception for IE throgh a firewall just to try it but that didn't work....

anything else i need to do? or any ideas for what im doing wrong?

the wireless router is a D-Link 524, if you need any more info just ask....
 
fixed it...just needed to get a wireless access point and not a wireless router...shows how much tech support people know about this stuff....


.....and me...o well..lol

thx for the response though sud

    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
