I've got myself a nice Win7 mini-laptop -- a reconditioned Dell Latitude 2110. Can't get it to connect to the net so far -- it asked for my Charter username and password and accepted them, but just can't do it. Yes, I tested the net cable on the other puter -- works fine. This is a beautiful little machine but has a sort of cylinder running along the back bottom edge. Wasn't expecting that, don't want it -- but this machine has a touchpad (a must for me) and you don't find that on all of these by any means.

Have you confirmed that you have all the right drivers installed?

No. How would we do it from that page? And why would one be needed for this.

I tried searching 'internet' and 'ethernet' as keywords but it found nothing. Tried 'network' since puters seem to insist on equating it with internet and it found these, but I have no idea what they're for:

Broadcom 57XX Gigabit Controller Driver

Intel WIMAX 6250 Driver

Dell Wireless WLAN 1397 Half MiniCard (4312bg), Wireless WLAN 1520 Half MiniCard, Wireless WLAN 1501 Half Mini-Card (4313bgn), Dell Wireless 1397, 15xx Half MiniCard, v.5.60.48.35, A36

Sooooo, are you all ready for the solution to the mystery?

'Twas something so moronically simple that I'd lambasted the seller for even suggesting it halfway back in the whole drama.

Something I should have tried on my own just for the heck of it as soon as the "problem" showed up -- even tho' it would have seemed totally laffable.

The fixer called and said the 2 puters were all set and ready to go.

I'm thinking OH BOY, I'LL SEND THAT EBAY FAKER THE BILL!

But there were no fixes as it turned out. He said with Charter you have to power cycle the router the first time you plug a "new" puter into the it.

Let us THINK, my droogs, before we sound off. THINK before we spend any money on a problem -- then think 3 more times for good measure. This little adventure cost me $50.... meanwhile, thanks again for your input. 48 views, I'm gratified -- now let'see some more on my stellar news postings....???? I'm mostly here for conversation.

Oh, this puter's a gas -- my 1st SSD. Fixer even commented on its quickness above and beyond that factor.

Seller's offering one more of the best laptop ever, also souped up (including extra RAM) for $100 less than I paid

LOL, I've been unplugging routers since that day I wrapped one in a diaper and got arrested and

Ok, none of that really happened, except having to reset routers. Ma Bell carpeted my neighborhood with fiber optics earlier this year.

It has never been down, best I can tell.

If your local utility offers you fiber optics, take it!

Very interesting! How common is fiber optic net now? How much more is it costing you?

Seemingly about 30 years ago the first inkling I heard was the Fiber Optic Network brand of phone service which was supposedly available most everywhere. Always wondered how that would be possible -- IIRC their lines were underground. They sent you a FON card for calling from phone booths because that was the initials with a macron over the vowel to make it pronounced like "phone".

$80/month. Plan is to string it everywhere economically feasible. My Indpls working class neighborhood got it before other areas my fancier friends live in, precisely because more customers per miles of moonbeam cable.

Don'tell me it's faster than cable?

NeoconsNailed  posted on  2018-07-28   17:24:12 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply  

Are you fucking with me? Of course it's faster, it's light speed. Because it is light. Fiber Optics have been run to most US cities, it's that last mile going over DSL/Coax/twisted pair that is the bottleneck.

Dakmar  posted on  2018-07-28   18:27:04 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply  

I usually connect at 235 down, and simply cannot imagine what 600+ more speed would be like. Television? Goog promises 1G down, but I won't live to see it in this 'hood.

If Ma Bell has any work crews near you, feed them, or at least offer tea.

My best speed on the old coax was about 40. That was $94/mo best I recall.

and it was down several hours a week.

Any idea when the ATT/TWC merger will be in working effect? ATT is in the 'hood with their phone and U-verse service, but everyone that I knows who's tried U-verse really hates it.

I have U-verse now and it works fine for me. ;)

Not too bad for coax, but pathetic compared with FO.
