Well, the week started ok with Monday, except, the “Check 4WD” light came on almost as soon as I started the truck for a little run into Angola – I have vowed to run it more often now that the camper is off and safely ensconced in the Building. So, late in the day I drove it down to Steuben \"\"Auto & Electric<\/a>. \u00a0They read out the code and only one came up but it was a full page check list with 20 items on it: ok, so I made an appointment for this coming Monday for them to look at it. \u00a0They have a lot of expensive electronic test equipment.<\/p>\n

As Tuesday came around I made a trip into the church<\/a> and they said they had a little problem with the internet: so, I checked it with Speedtest.net and sure enough it was 0.13Mbps which is really bad. \u00a0I told the Pastor to call Frontier and get a tech out to check out what is wrong. \u00a0The tech came out on Wednesday and sait it was our wiring and left. This was not what I wanted to hear so I promoted the idea of going to Mediacom since we could get 20Mbps plus two telephone lines for the same or a little less than what we were paying Frontier. \u00a0After consultation with the pastor, I called Frontier Tech and told him I wanted to know what made him think it was our brand new wiring into the modem that was causing the problem. \u00a0We had a nice chat that resulted in me telling him we were moving to Mediacom and why. \u00a0To his credit, he said – Hold The Phone – would I wait and hour or two for Sales to get back to us and I said Yes. \u00a0When Sales called she said she could do some price and speed matching so we started listening. \u00a0Bottom Line – we will be receving higher speed for less money than we were paying before and cheaper than Mediacom’s best price. \u00a0We had a Win – Win going here.<\/p>\n

Wednesday late a new tech arrives and opens the Demarc to find a broken wire in our brand new cable on our side of the fence. \u00a0Ok, so we quickly pull a new cable into the IT Room and connect up the new modem that we have to have for better service. \u00a0He does his Techy Thing and says the the internet works to the Cisco Router. \u00a0He leaves but I find we have no internet in the whole building except for the Wireless. \u00a0I knew it was a Static IP Addressing issue but was really too tired to get into it today and went home.<\/p>\n

Thursday arrived and I went into the church and started to fix things but ran out of time and we had a “Pastors Appreciation Dinner” at Lake James Christian Assembly<\/a> scheduled for 1800 hrs and it was now 1715 hrs and time to go – NOW! \u00a0I raced home grabbed SAM and threw on the suit and tie and off to PAD @ LJCA. \u00a0It was a nice get together with the area Pastors that the Gideons <\/a>put on once a year.<\/p>\n

I did not sleep too well and Friday AM arrived too quickly but I was up and at them and ready to go to the church. \u00a0I arrived and I changed the IP for the IT Room from static to DHCP and the Internet worked on that machine. \u00a0Now I had to figure out what I could do about migrating the static IP’s of all the wired devices. \u00a0I called Frontier to find out some minor Modem Information for accessing the device. \u00a0To my everlasting surprise, I described our set up and the tech said “why do you have it like that?” \u00a0I told him and he said with the new box I no longer needed the Cisco Router since the new box had all that built in. \u00a0Bottom line – we pulled the router and the wireless still worked except the Family Life Center. \u00a0Bingo – he stayed on the line for two hours while we worked through all the Main Sanctuary machines and I thought I could handle it from there so I told him to call back in two hour. \u00a0He did this and by that time almost all the system was running so I grabbed lunch at the Chinese<\/a> and finished up by about 1500 hrs – a tired but happy dude. \u00a0When I arrived home I went Whoops – I forgot one computer in the Sancuary so I will be going back tomorrow to fix that little glitch. \u00a0A day well spent I say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
