Third time the charm. / myLot

I'm having computer problems my carrier said there was a problem this morning. That is long resolved my TV connects to the internet but my desktop does not. Troubleshooting says that it is either a broken ethernet cable or not plugged in. I've tried three different cables. I think the problem is that this is an old refurbished computer and it just gave up. Weather permitting tomorrow we will go to Newton and get some things and I will buy a laptop. Right now I'm using voice I'm not really satisfied. But I had already lost this discussion twice trying to type it. I will be around here some because I can at least do this on my phone but I'm really frustrated. I'm not used to being offline all day.

I am functioning with this new laptop, but I want to try to fix the desktop as well.

Poor computer. I have been doing more on my phone but still like to be on my computer. I can see things better. I hope you get the computer fixed.

With the help of You Tube I may fix it. Meanwhile I did buy a lower priced lap top.

I got it. I still miss the solidity of the desktop, though.

I hope you find a good deal on a laptop. Mine is getting sluggish.

I knew I needed to upgrade to Windows 11 this year, so I got a laptop that would do that for me.

@GardenGerty I couldn't get something connected and found out that settings said only 2 could connect to the wi fi. I changed it to 6 and now I can get everything connected

Being offline a lot certainly is a foreign feeling.

Technologies are never meant for functioning, we often have deal with their problem... It is really frustrating and annoying... once I almost lost all my collected study materials.. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon
