That's weird.

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!

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

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 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.
