Re: Wireless Networks

You may want to make sure that the host file on your computer doesn't have any erroneous entries in it.

If you go to start -> run -> notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

It should open a file that looks like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

If it doesn't, overwrite it with the data above, and save it. Then try to download your updates again.

Re: Wireless Networks

A Crossover cable is colour dependent.
