I didn't push the reset button at all. Actually, I just unplugged it |
| 20 |
and did a "normal" reset. According to the book, power off just makes |
| 21 |
it redo the DHCP stuff. Pressing the reset button briefly I would think |
| 22 |
would do the same thing but maybe a little faster. Pressing the reset |
| 23 |
button and holding it for long time resets it back to factory defaults |
| 24 |
including the firmware. I haven't did that. |

I fell asleep again tho. The internet was still working when I got on |
| 27 |
here this time. I bet that setting got changed in the modem during a |
| 28 |
software upgrade and I didn't know it. |

I do want to figure this all out tho. I want fireball to get a fixed IP |
| 31 |
from the router and I want smoker to get a fixed IP from the router. I |
| 32 |
think I know how to do that much. I'm going to go do some looking |
| 33 |
around in the screens and see what I can do. |
