Just got off the phone with a fabulous Dell

[Pete]

representative named Riza Rae in the Philippines who seems to have cured the chronic wireless connection problem with Boys Dell 531 desktop with Vista. Damn thing would connect one day, the next 5 times you would have to mess with it, restart over and over, disconnect, repair, over and over.

She spoke perfect engrish, was pleasant, a sweetheart, helpful and is calling back in 10 minutes to be sure the downloaded driver took care of the problem.

Should I try to talk her into moving her to this country and living in sin with me?

Yes.

We have something on backorder from Dell and I swear you could hear someone (in English) telling the caller (someone from India or wherever) what to say when leaving a message on our answering machine regarding the backorder.

Their some hardcore catholics over there. Might not be able to pull the sin part off but then again I have heard of all the lovely goings on in the Phillipines so who knows.

At least you didn't get Punjab or Mujibar who don't understand American slang and get totally lost at something other than correct english.

Back off, you can't have my new Filipino Network Manager, get your own.

Dayum straight when she calls back ask if she can format your hard drive.

I spent about 4 hours on Sunday with Verizon tech support atempting to get a wireless router working.
They determined I had a defective internet browser

... the one I'm using now

 

[Tigerlily]

I think you should just call back and inquire as to how to order her from the website?

Verizons tech support is DEFINITELY spotty. I called them for the same thing (setup wireless router) last week. First guy I talked to was a dunce, second guy was great but didn't speak english very well so there was a lot of "Would you repeat that please" from both of us.

Well after trying everything known to man and beast and being on the phone until 12:20am she said i needed a new wireless card. Seems the one they initially used to build Dells with Vista don't work very well with Vista. Even though I have good signal strength, the latest drivers it spuriously connects. It arbitrarily looks for an invalid IPv4 address.

New updated latest wireless card will be here in 2 days and she is going to call and help me set it up to be sure.

In the meantime during all the download, waiting for a restart and watching her remotely check the computer I learned:

She is 26
Speaks perfect English
Just graduated college with a BS in Computer Science.
Lives on the outskirts of Manila
Not married
2 Sisters
Favorite color is purple
Likes long walks on the beach
Has never eaten dog or monkey meat

Yes, by all means talk her into coming to this country and living with you in sin. And while your at it, see if she will smuggle an M2010 into the country with her for me, and I would like Windows XP Professional on it. TIA!

That's important!

Another Vista bug bite..... I'll be curious to know what happens with the new card.

The thing has never really worked well. I just thought it was my lack of experience with Vista. It would boot up and find the wireless, then go into a period saying "Identifying" then finally it would say "Unidentified network" even though the connection showed the name of my network and have 5 bars on the Network sharing page. It would then go to "local access onlly". If you tried to "diagnose" or "repair" it would never come up with a solution just some crap about plug in a network cable reboot again and it connect right up no problem.

Almost sounds like it's trying to default to the hard-wire connection (network cable comment) when something goes amiss. Just for kicks and giggles, go into the Network control panel and disable the internal Ethernet (right click on the icon for the enet connection, select Disable). Reboot and see if the wireless works any differently.
