[ltp] wife router access

[Jeffrey Franc-Law]

Don't know if this is your situation.....

I have had this same problem when I boot first in windows then in 
linux....If this is what you did, try resetting the router, or 
unplugging/replugging the router.  I think the problem somehow pertains 
to having the same MAC address coming from two different operating systems.

ciao,
