Today, my Dad thought "Joseph" and "Francis" were two people hacking our internet. They are actually the names of my laptop and iPod, which have now been blocked from using our modem. He can't figure out how to unblock them. FML

That sucks. You should talk to the tech support for your modem. They should be able to fix it.

YDI, OP, for naming your iPod and laptop "Joseph," and "Francis."

At first, I was going to say use the internet to find out how to unblock them, but I just realized you can't go on the internet anymore, stupid me. But why would you name your laptop and iPod?

Today my Dad blocked my iPod and laptop from the Internet, yet I still managed to write and submit this FML. FML.

Some of my hardware is named. It makes telling people what to do easier when they know what the hardware is named. "Turn on FRAG" or "turn on the computer 3rd from the left of the 1st group" Which is easier to understand when others know what frag is?

check for mac address filtering on your router (not modem), you can also change your computers Mac address, not advised though.

I do, just so I know which one is mine when looking at usage... its easier to pick out when someone hacked you if you see "LaptopName" and anything else using your wireless gets blocked.

she said her iPod and laptop couldn't connect to her home's Internet, she could have gotten Internet from another place like school or just used some other device that wasn't blocked from her home's modem like her dad's computer, duh

You shouldn't have used their names. Only call them that in private. xD

The Titanic? I would imagine it's been down there for awhile, since 1912, I think.

If you can't access your modem, how are you posting this? Public library? Desktop? JC

Hmmm, maybe a DESKTOP!? Or at least, obviously, another pc in the house. It was the kid's stuff that was blocked, afterall.
