When she brought it home, after her boss had configured it for her, she found to her horror that it would not connect to the internet.
So I checked that everything seemed to be set exactly the same as mine, but oh no it wasn't having any of it.
To try everything I got hold of a new router http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2820.html
Hey ho what to do you know? That didn't work either.
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. So I pinged the TS server & got a response. Ah ha thinks I! I am getting through the router to the net using an IP address. So off I goes & checks the DNS settings. Bob's your uncle, her boss had hard coded his work IP address for DNS!!! For a mobile machine?????
In two shakes of a lamb's tail I was the best thing since sliced bread.
Anyway to cut a long story short, the router has wireless n on it so I'm communicating at more than double the speed with the new one. My ping has dropped from about 120 most of the time to around the 100 mark now.
A big thank you goes out to my wife's boss
I think I've listened to you guys across the pond for too long!
