[IMC-Tech] Re: internet in the basement

[dan blah]

all is working now (can ping google.com on all)... whomever did some
cable swapping incorrectly plugged in the cables.  w/o having my
laptop on me i am not able to test the wireless, but it should be
working just fine also.  thre is a single red cable that is running
from the uplink port on the linksys router in the first room which
needed to be plugged into the wan port on the router in the b2b room. 
 i honestly dont remember how it was wired when i first got in
there... i basically pulled everything out and traced all the cables
and then plugged everything in how i knew it would work.  if its found
that something isnt working right let me know, i should be able to fix
it... but as far as i can tell all is well.
