My house: one landline-connected desktop (my machine), one iphone, one wireless-connected desktop, which is brandnew, one laptop.  I can see videosift from all computers but the new one, and the new one won't go there with either IE or firefox.  I have it's firewall turned off, and it still won't go there.  I've also had some odd errors with respect to videosift that might or might not be networking related (comments not showing up--the contact us link not working for me--getting error 404 when trying to get to my blog), so I figured maybe I just had fewer of the same type of error that the new computer was getting.

 Tonight I called up and tortured a very nice man from linksys who walked me through tons of things with a tolerant eye towards it being the linksys router's problem.  He even offered to replace my router, but he says the fact that my other wireless devices can see videosift and the new computer can't means it can't be the router's issue.  Damn.  I forgot to ask him about the traceroute.  What could possibly cause ONE computer in my house to not get past that one place.  Well, anyway, he told me to call up alienware and give them hell and that it has to be alienware's fault.  Except, how am I going to explain that for some reason my son's computer get's stopped at castleaccess.com?  How can that be alienware's fault.

I'm so muddled.

Just venting.  I don't expect anyone to do anything.  I just feel like the powers that be are trying to keep me away from videosift.
