computer smash

[aimeekitty]

We had it all set up perfectly before moving the computers downstairs (one mac and one pc). But all of the sudden our internet dsl stopped working for some insane reason, and mitch (I thinK??) replaced the modem and router. They now seem to work MOST of the time.

however, in the process of him doing this, I can't connect to Mitch's shared folders on the network.

under my network, I can see his computer, I can see the choices of networked folders to share, but when I click "connect" which would normally mount that shared folder on my desktop, it says :
"the alias "MitchComputer" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"
(where MitchComputer obviously is a standin for mitch's real computer name).

I know that I have file sharing on, on my computer, and I tried the wizard on mitch's and told it to turn file sharing on on his, but I can't seem to figure out what to try next. I HATE PCs. I'm sorry. they are so fucking irritating when it comes to stuff like this. My mac just automatically sets stuff up, but with the pc, it's like you have to say a magic word and spin around three times and then try it the SAME WAY 5 times and then MAYBE IT MIGHT WORK.

suggestions welcome. I'd rather not have to pay geeksquad another $200 thanks.

Oh btw, mitch's pcs' cd drive apparently just stopped reading any burnable cds so can't burn the files off his computer either.

his computer is about to DIE if it doesn't do what I tell it to. and now I'm going to be late.

at least the internet still works...

FOR NOW. SATANCOMPUTER!!!

btw, Mitch? It's your turn to try to fix it.
