That's weird. Both my Android phone and my CM7 NookColor can connect tot the internet through the wifi but my netbook cannot even though it has done so in the last 24 hours. Nothing has changed with settings or passwords or anything.

All 3 devices are in the same room and are within feet of each other.

I'd have asked the same thing Mark Richards did. I'd also wonder if there was an IP address conflict between some of the devices.

I haven't rebooted the router since yesterday. Its upstairs in my roommates room so I'm not going to do it now.

Jason ON Can you access it remotely? For example, maybe by pointing your browser to something like 192.168.0.1? Some routers have a web-based interface that will let you reboot it.

I like it. I rooted and CM7'd yesterday. Works great.

What do you mean coming out?

Thanks, Leo Soderman I'll see if I can do that.

It will be available the 18th. The original NookColor will get a 100 item update the same day.

What is a "100 item update?"

Sad part? I'm on the wifi OJ the nook trying to troubleshoot the wifi on the netbook. Even though the netbook says I'm connected to the wifi cannot log into the router from the netbook. Wtf?

They are updating that many things but I have no idea what they are. Looking forward to it though.

Jason ON Silly question but do you have a limit on how many devices can be connected at once? We have a hot spot that allows 5 devices at once.

Not sure on this router, but my phone wasn't connected earlier (I did connect it to check connectivity) and there are only two devices connected right now anyway.

That was my only idea, sorry. Hope you get it figured out. Annoying as heck I know.

Check your router, many times the MAC address changes on Android devices, maybe its hiding on to the old ones and there's no more available. Check DHCP reservations.

Sounds like an IP conflict - a software issue. Try (from your Dos Prompt) ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew

Will try those ideas when I get home. Thanks for the tips.

Be warned. Every time you reboot a Android device, you get a different MAC address, happens every time on my DroidX running CM7. Popular complaint on the forums.

Assaf Barnir it didn't work. Came came and said it could not contact the DHCP server.

Was it solved? I would like to be sure you really DO connect to the internet with your Android - I'm not talking just about connecting to the Router but really opening a browser and surf the net - can you do that?

When my DHCP wasn't reachable it was only, no exception, an ISP issue. But, before calling them for status I would "do that thing"... restarted my Router and Modem (and the Vonage - in my case) - just to be sure. When that didn't work I'd thanked Verizon for keeping me connected... good luck

Yes, I was finally able to get it working. I reset the DHCP in the router and for good measure I opened up some more access while I was in there.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
