I've had them say, "The office said I can give them a static IP but it can't be 192.168.0.1". My choices in response are..

  • "That's because it is in a private class C address range reserved for LANs." and go through a quickie "This is a LAN. This is a WAN. lecture.

  • "Do you have someone in your office with a layman''s understanding of networking that I could talk to?"

Dealing with mountains of stupidity between calls from home. Uncle is dying. Lung failure. Patience gone.

I think Sidekick and I need to bump our plans to go here forward just a bit. Desperate need to chill and drink wine. Recharge.
