Re: OT: Annoying Vista Laptop and network
I noticed when I set my router up for my network that it took the ip address of 192.168.1.1 which I had given to my oldest computer. It seemed that it was hardwired into the unit and I had to go change all the other computers ip addresses. Is that the norm for using routers? Not that it caused any problems, but I had to reset all the computers as I had them all in manual ip address settings due to the firewall on the system. I use the router to hook up to the wireless so all the computers can go online at once or just the one I'm using.

Re: OT: Annoying Vista Laptop and network
Xrati: What sort of router are you using? On most, you can put the address of the router into you browser's address bar to access the router's configuration options. On my Linksys, the IP address used by the router, along with basic DHCP settings are on the first page that comes up.

Re: OT: Annoying Vista Laptop and network
There seems to be some sort of 'special characters' switch - How would I turn something like that off?

Re: OT: Annoying Vista Laptop and network
Like if you hold the shift key down too long in XP.
A couple of times, something has messed up character display in Open Office a bit.
