OK, so I'm away at work, with all the various portable computer gadgetry to amuse myself in the evenings, and I wanted to access files on my laptop drive from my windows 10 tab.

OK, so the tab has two full-sized USB ports, I've got USB sticks coming out the wazoo, and I've re-enabled the Briefcase in win 10, but I wanted "edit in situ" access, to make it all slightly less of a PITA.

So I typety-type set up a virtual router on the laptop (with a little help from a search engine that is not google), fire it up, connect from the tab... and can't do a damned thing with it -- no Internet, no nothing.

So I'm off configury pokerying, messing with network config, firewalls, ACLs, etc, and tearing a blue strip off win 10 for being so ch*ffing useless.

An hour later (just under, but who's counting?), I finally remember to click on the "Advanced" button in the IPv4 properties window, to set up default DNS servers, and everything works like a charm.

That bluddy button has been there for decades!

SO WHY DIDN'T THAT BLUDDY WINDOWS 10 REMIND ME NOT TO BE A USELESS IDIOT!?!
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
