Networking Sucks

So I was trying to get my Xbox 360's wifi adapter to work yesterday.

Decided to do a routine firmware flash on my reasonably pricey router. So downloaded, and as I was flashing, an error message popped up... "Flashing are failed". Aside from the atrocious grammar, I was pissed. Firmware fuck ups only mean one thing. Dead hardware. Period.

True enough, it was dead. DHCP wasn't working at all. BLEH!

Warranty period should still be up but I wonder if it will cover it. Regardless, I loathe the fact I will have to spend a better part of an hour with a tech support call center in India that treats me like a nub. :\ (please sir, can you click, start, and click run - I interject: Type in cmd, enter, ipconfig/all, bla bla bla...)

So yeah, I'm on my spare Linksys WRT54G and it works fine right now. Will have to find time to call later-ish I guess...

On a more pleasant note, my Xbox 360 can now access the network using its wireless adapter...
