@pettancow yeah we eventually figured it out, was on the wrong subnet mask, ty~
@pettancow it was weird how the wrong submask made it work with one computer but not another tho
and how it DID work another day and i hadn't changed the network settings since the day it worked
@squirrel I'm convinced networking is witchcraft, or a product of the winter court, or something to that effect
@squirrel Oh, good to hear it was worked out :D
