just got my internet working. First the modem dies, so I get a replacement (my dad's old one) then when I get off the phone with cox for like 2 hours, the signal is too weak to work with the different modem (?) so we have to wait like 2 weeks to have a cox guy come out to the house and change the filter, but he epically fails and changes the splitters not the filter so it still doesnt work, so we wait another 4 days for a different guy to come out who actually changes the filter, which is when I find out that my mobo has crapped out again and the NIC is no longer working. I found another NIC in an old pc and installed it but it causes BSOD only on my computer *reinstall xp*
yay internets!!!
