We should all just chill out about the threads. Thus meaning this is the winner.
okay this thread is real thread also from the ded thred: Damn did I have fun getting a new modem/router combo set up for comcast today. My friend had their internet & voice package, which meant that he was stuck using their shitty EMTA thing for both phone and internet, and eventually the internet side of it got to the point where it would die every 15 minutes. Plus he never got the 100mbps he paid for. So I decided to relegate that unit to phone service only, which is apparently something completely unheard of. I had to talk to an agent on the phone for a good ten minutes before he would activate the new modem without deactivating the old one. And then the new one wouldn't connect after it rebooted which caused him to say it was an unsupported device (it's not) and ask if we wanted to pay for another one. Eventually it started working and half the process was over. Next the DHCP on the modem wasn't finding the router, and of course there's zero configuration in the modem for anything so I had to power cycle about four times until they played nice with each other. Finally I got the router's DHCP set up nicely, added his desktop and phone to a static IP, and everything was peachy. This is why I tell people I "know enough to know I don't know much" when they ask me for network support.
Why the hell did a modem have to find DHCP from a router in the first place? That doesn't make shit sense.
I guess I made that confusing. It's the thing where the router has to get the WAN information from the modem like IP, nameservers, etc. Unless there's some way to do that manually that I don't know about. Like I said I wish I knew more about networking than I do, but there's just too much shit to learn. That's why people go to school for this.
[QUOTE=lavacano;50417350]I vote this thread, because this is the title we agreed to in the last thread, and it doesn't have a douchey "these people need to stop posting" list that nobody put any input into. This is the true CIPWTTKT.[/QUOTE] Seems like someone is jealous they didn't get on the list.
This thread has more posts and a better op. Should probably lock/delete the other.
I like how it says this thread is two pages but when I actually open it, it is only one page long. [editline]29th May 2016[/editline] edit: ok now it is on the second page.
Yeah that's a thing that happens a lot here. at the last post on a page it makes a new one that's empty and you can't go to it. Don't know why though.
It's because of automerge.
New round these parts?

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;50419407]Ancient bug with vbulletin.

I could have [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1520571&page=9999999999999999999999[/url] and it would still redirect to the newest page.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50419985]updated previous threads just waiting on a comical banner to go with the title[/QUOTE] Since the thread title involves Windows 10 I'm sure Barnacules would make a lovely banner for you.

hell, that screenshot looks like it was just a half-ass photoshop job to make the list more readable or something

are you saying all dogs look the same
[QUOTE=Makol;50420286]are you saying all dogs look the same[/QUOTE] Well it is a pure blood blue eyed white Aryan. Those tend to look at least vaguely similar.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;50420335]Never heard of an "Aryan" dog before, but this is a white husky[/QUOTE] I think he's caling your dog a Nazi
[QUOTE=Makol;50420386]I think he's caling your dog a Nazi[/QUOTE] yep i just got that now. im too tired right now
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;50420397]yep i just got that now. im too tired right now[/QUOTE] you'll be tired a lot with a puppy
[QUOTE=Makol;50420286]are you saying all dogs look the same[/QUOTE] [del]Yes[/del] No but it looks very similar to a picture of a dog of the same race. I think it was Kirstin Maldonado's.
After looking at an old 51 cm SD CRT TV I'm at a lost to work out how I ever watched movies on that thing.
