Thorin Feels Dumb

[Thorin]

So in trying to connect to Mr. A.'s FTP site, I pored over the settings for my router.  On one of the last tabs of the interface, I noticed the log.  In the log, I noticed that a wireless device is requesting and getting dynamic IPs.

What the hell?  My laptop is off!

So I poke around some more...  Maybe someone's figured out my clever WEP key?

Hey, I don't recognize that MAC address...  What gives?

So I change my WEP key and restart the device...

And my Wii starts flashing...

So I turn it on...

I go into the configuration and test the connection to the Internet.  Sure enough, it can't connect anymore.  What the hell?  How did a hacker block my Wii?  From my own router??









And then it dawns on me, that wireless device was my Wii!  DUHH!!

lol, that is why I always hate messing with my router. I tend to forget to open ports or update devices to match my new settings.

Can someone other than Thorin humour me and hit my FTP site please?

[Thorin]

Keeping in mind I have that problem when trying to use Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 6 to connect to it.  SmartFTP connects ok, thanks to it auto-switching from Passive to Active mode.

Oh, ok
