Msg# 3035

OT: Ainaechoiriel's weird computer tip of the day... Posted by Ainaechoiriel December 02, 2004 - 23:24:29 Topic ID# 3035
Never throw out a network card.

The network card that is presently in DS9 (my web server) is one that
stopped working oh, 4 years ago or so.

Apparently the one I'd had in it previously stopped working late last night.
So at 11pm, I had to perform computer surgery. Not something I enjoy unless
I'm in the mood. So I go down to the basement to find all my extra network
cards, and hope they work.

I've got 3. Two are ISA. One is PCI. It's the one that stopped working 4
years ago, but it's my only option, as that computer doesn't have any ISA
slots. So I put it in and voila, it works.

So, never throw out a network card. (Unless it catches fire or something.)
It just may magically start working again.
