Double Duh

susandennisSo I'm still futzing with my Mom's computer and the church website. One of my buds from IT comes by and says, have you tried releasing ip's and then renewing? Nope. So, hooked up via PCAnywhere, I just fire up CMD on her computer and type in msconfig/release.... BOINK! Duh. No more connection since I just released it. (Sound familiar ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kyrielle?
But, that didn't, apparently, make me feel stupid enough. I had to wait an hour for her to wake up from her nap to call her and tell her to reboot (easier than walking her through msconfig/renew). She reboots but I can't get in via PCAnywhere. Over the phone I walk her through checking all the PCAnywhere configuration. This is not easy but we manage it and everything seems fine but I still can't get in. I give up.
Minute after we hang up I think to check on her IP address. I have a little program on her computer that slaps her IP address onto a website back from the days when she dialed in and it changed all the time. Duh again... if you release the IP then she gets a new one! Slapped the new one into PCAnywhere and got right back in.
Still, alas, no action on the church website but me thinks I should leave it alone for a bit.
