Insomnia...

alexpgpCan't sleep. I don't know why. The kids have moved up their departure for California and Shannnon's parents to tomorrow. They'll be back after the first of the year.
I have come to the conclusion that either (a) the Administrator password never expires in Windows 2000, which sort of makes sense, or (b) it expires after a longer period of time than elapsed in the case of my two units.
It turned out my memory of the Win2000 login simply needed a jump-start. Both machines are up and running.
The DSL Router issue has run into something of a snag. It would appear I need my ISP's DNS IP, the IP of the default gateway, and the subnet mask. Calling tech support for this info gets me a cheezy answer, to the effect that only customers with static IPs need that info. (I'd gladly pay the extra $20 for a static IP, but today - as opposed to yesterday - the folks at the business office insist that the only way to get one of those animals is to sign up for an account that affords one 5 static IPs for about twice the basic rate. I'll have to call again Monday, I guess.)
I'm using the Web client to post this, and the "lag" between typing and having what I type appear on a screen is annoyingly long. I think I will go and download an LJ client for this machine.
Cheers...
