So my internet has been shaky and I assumed something was wrong with my router as it would not recognize my LAN cable on my laptop. When I looked at my network connections information, it kept saying "network cable disconnected" making me confused as the cable was plugged in to my laptop. So I try to use my wireless, but that gives me loads of problems assigning me an IP address (many many laptops connecting wirelessly to the same router causes many problems). That fails, so I try to steal my neighbors wireless via his/her unsecured network. I try playing poker (not a good idea with unstable connections) and I disconnect repeatedly. After 30 mins of disconnectfest, I check my cable connections.

There's a blue cable that is connected to my laptop and there is a blue cable connected to the router, so it should work right?

However, to my stupidity. there are two blue cables that are connected like this

Cable 1: Computer<-------> nothing

Cable 2: Nothing<-------->router

So in otherwords, the cable was never connected properly

Oh Daniel, why do you do these things
