You know, I think that if there was a person you didn't like, and you handed them Wasabi Peas and a Vernor's ginger ale, and told them to inhale the smell of Vernor's through their nose and then take a bite of the Wasabi Peas and then exhale through their nose, you could kill them and totally get away with it.

So I got this new-to-me laptop.  I can get it connected to my wireless network, the signal is great, but I can't GO anywhere- it can't find any websites.

I had this happen before when I first got the router, but I can't remember how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Call an exorcist.  It's possessed by demons.

one issue is that the router security might be restricted to only certain computer types. 

see if you can get to your router by

192.168.1.1
(if linksys different brands have different defaults)

I will try that tonight.  (it's at home, I'm at work, I figured I'd ask now and have all sorts of good ideas by the time I got home)
