[nfbcs] Wireless router connection problem resolved

Yes, especially if you have a secure network...
Glad you got it running.
By the way, our router at home here is the flicka network, which means 
"girl" in Swedish.  (No one who lives here is under 40, but hey, we're all 
girls.*smile*)
I think "boy" is something like "poika" , but someone else can correct 
either the word or the spelling.  My mother's first language was Swedish, 
but she never learned to read and write Swedish, and only remembers these 
words from her childhood.
Happy hacking.

This is a follow-up to a problem I asked the list about a couple weeks
ago.  We had a major power outage, and afterwards I wasn't able to connect
to my wireless router.  But that was not the actual problem, as it turns
out.
I had called my router Linksys.  Apparently, at the time of the power out,
someone else in the neighborhood set up a wireless router, and also called
it Linksys.  So I was trying to connect, finding a Linksys, and not having
the correct WPA key, because it wasn't my router.
So the consultant changed my router name to something slightly less
generic, and Presto! my connection is back.
So I guess the moral of this story is, if you live in an urban area like I
do, give your wireless router a unique name.
