Bloody technology

I am still gobsmacked at the kind of technical know how you need these days to solve IT problems.

I have been having trouble with my new PC connecting to the internet - downloads have been slow, things have been timing out - so I did a bit of searching today for answers.

Turned out that I had an incorrect port mapping table in my router.

I presume that would be completely incomprehensible to about 98% of the population. How the hell are most people supposed to figure that out on their own?

On the upside, if technology companies continue to produce products that are as difficult to configure as this one, there'll be a job for me for years to come.
