M'aidez!

EHQ got a new router for Winter Avarice this year. In theory, what this means is that all the computers in the Command Center will be able to talk to each other, share files, and perhaps even print.

In practice, what this means is that for some reason, only one of the three computers now believes in the existence of the Internet. This has necessitated an operating system change for me. That change seems to have largely reduced my PC to schizoid delusions involving the unavailability of drivers, presence or absence of hardware real and illusory, and the fundamental rightness of the 16-bit color system. And, worse, all of this is contributing to me not getting laid.

Because in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.

So at the moment, I'm posting from kittenpants' PC, while burning relevant documents and applications from mine to CD. Because tomorrow, I'm applying ECS therapy to it. Or re-formatting the Damned Thing™ and re-installing the OS. Whichever comes first. I'm pretty sure there are some conductive cables and alligator clips around here somewhere.

However, this does not solve the networking issue. So, er, orcjohn, if you've got some free time soonish and would like to consult on the matter of windows/linux networking.... we could use a bit of help.

Holy Crap, it's Internet!

This is to officially announce that EHQ is mostly networked, in that those of us who speak the same language can now share a net connection, a printer, and files. We shall be spending the next hrm.er.cough.er.yeah trying to teach the penguins to speak Redmond.

Woo!
