out_here04 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 to further complicate or decipher, i don't know which, i did plug in the nintendo's MAC address into my router's settings, viewable by going to the correct http://192. web address and selecting MAC edit. i don't know if that had anything at all to do with my wife's nintendo dsi working, but i never entered anything about my laptop's MAC address. my air card is plugged into the back of the router's usb port so it automatically detected it, too. found this on understanding MAC addresses. seeing more and more that there is a reason geek squads are needed and worth the cost, if you can pay them. http://compnetworking.about.com/sitesearch...&TopNode=99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydoc2 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 finally scrapped netgear and called my ISP and they sent me a box that hooks up my pc and the laptop. Did it all in about 20 minutes, thanks to all who gave advise. I will say best buy is now on my list and they won't get another dime from me.

Notorious Kelly Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Took advantage of a 0% interest deal at Best Buy and was late on ONE payment- they charged me FULL interest from the start of the loan. I've also walked out of there more than once because there weren't enough cashiers. Oh, gimme the days before Radio Shack sold cell phones.... B) Glad ya got it working, Doc!
