Feek, I need your disk!

Oddness ensued yesterday, the electric went off yesterday and when it came back on, neither the laptop or the netbook could connect to the internet.

I tried to log into the router "http://192.168.1.1" but that wouldn't work. all the lights that should've been on were on and all wires connected too.

Annoyingly I could connect to the hdd I have connected to the network.

After a biu of digging about in settings and lots and lots of swearing, I noticed that the connection to the Landisk seemed to be taking priority over everything so I turned it off and lo and behold, I could log into the router and then get back on the net.

So Feek, can I borrow that backup of the internet you have on that floppy so I can copy it to my network storage, so if it happens again I can still get on the net.

You know I zipped it, so it's a multi-disk format? You can't just copy off the bits you want and you have to take the whole thing.

I'll pay postage.

And I'll need to find a floppy drive....
