I am so angry! The weekend brought me unending joy. The router I bought was wonderful and I actually found myself stroking it and whispering sweet nothings to its ports. “Donna wuvs her little wirless router!” “Baby makes Bill Gates proud!” This was before I tried to log in to my VPN. I set up the persistent port forwarding. Everything should have worked. IT DIDN’T. I called my department’s tech guru. He worked with me but couldn’t figure it out. Then I called my company’s tech guru. He too tried to get it to work but couldn’t. Exasperated I called Microsoft support and I talked to Vikram Patel from Bombay, India– for 2 hours. He couldn’t get it to work. In fact, he completely sabotaged everything and now I can’t even get on the Internet with the one computer. Now I know what you are thinking– “Donna, take it back to Circuit City!” I would do that BUT I CUT THE BOX TO GET THE UPC FOR THE REBATE!!!! I can’t imagine they will take it back or exchange it for a Linksys which is what I should have gotten in the very beginning. I am still going to try although I am almost 100% sure it will be a uselss endeavor.
