[K12OSN] Network unreachable.

[Accessys@smart.net]

I didn't change anything since It was last working

I can ping the router

other than that I wish I knew what you just said????

I get so frustrated people either talk over my head or down to me

why isn't there any place for someone who isn't a geek but does know a
fair amount about these machines.  I've complained about this for
years, only two manuals are written.
1 for dummies books
2 uber geek.

is it any wonder people put up with 2 hours on hold to be told it is
someeone else's fault.

I'll get off my soapbox but it is probably the main reason Linux
doesn't spread.
