Hi Glenn, thanks for the input! Here are some images of my current (direct modem -> computer) connection that DOES work: Network settings: From the Westell configuration add…

Oooo-kay. I don't know why, but I hooked up the router to try again, and without changing a thing, it seems to work fine now. Makes no sense to me, but I'm not gonna argue. Thanks …

Here's part of what's happening. The modem IS acting like a router and assigning local addresses - to ANYTHING connected directly to it. Your Linksys router has apparently figure…

I don't think anybody is "freaking out", not even the dude with the melted power adapter. Strange people these Mac users, can't seem to imagine any scenario where Apple is wrong a…

Guys, look at the other pictures and read the comments. It does not sound like a defect but rather some cat faeces or cat pee caused the short. On the one hand, the supposedly the …

Truth is, we don't know what this is. I tend to doubt that a cat somehow made the MBP combust, but it is true that we don't know what happened here...except that it *looks* like a …

keep an ear out for an mbp that has choked "on vomit"

haha, i just went to have a look and the pics are essentially gone...replaced by some big blocky pixels. Insert consiracy theory! from the link, caution, copyright infringment …

It looks like the cats peed on the connector, shorting it.
