IP configuration problem: can't connect to wifi in room but it does connect in hotel lobby
A happy ending it seems. For now anyway. Its a family run hotel so the technician was a husband of one of the owners/managers. He was working away at it yesterday and got it up and running but it only lasted an hour before conking out again. Weird. But he was nice enough to give me my own temporary router in the room that is about 15 years old just until their system was fixed. It only gets 2 Mbps but it's a good back-up. They have a Cisco system of repeaters mounted on the ceiling every 10 meters down the hall. The one nearest my room was not working as evidenced by the different color light on that unit compared with all the others. Anyway, I talked to them again this afternoon, and now it's up and working again. I don't know what they did to fix it. But they know it's a problem so that's good. I was just relieved it wasn't anything at my end. It's their system that is at fault. Thanks again for everyone offering ideas. -

Dugong dilemma: Thailand’s gentle sea giants face extinction risk
Thailand’s beloved dugongs are in dire straits, prompting an urgent meeting by the National Policy and Planning Committee on Marine and Coastal Resources Management. Led by Deputy Prime Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong, the focus was squarely on the alarming rise in dugong deaths in recent weeks. With representatives from the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources in attendance, the committee zeroed in on immediate actions. High on the agenda were accelerated surveys of dugong populations and seagrass habitats along the Andaman coast, amid concerns over deteriorating seagrass and its impact on the ecosystem. Recent reports paint a grim picture: between October 1 and November 5, ten dugongs have perished across Thailand: three each in Satun, Phuket, and Trang, with another in Krabi. The culprits? Malnutrition, starvation, and entanglement in fishing nets: symptoms of their desperate struggle for sustenance in the Andaman Sea, as marine experts point out. Deputy PM Prasert revealed a worrying decline in the dugong population, dwindling from 280 last year to a mere 267 this year. Department chief Pinsak Surasawadi highlighted the depletion of 24,149 rai of seagrass beds in Krabi, Trang, and Satun, vital habitats and food sources for these gentle creatures. In response to this crisis, dugongs have been migrating to Phuket and Phang Nga in search of new feeding grounds. In the battle to save them, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Chaloemchai Sri-on has called for a robust dugong protection plan. Bangkok Post reported that measures include training courses in basic dugong rescue for local communities, equipping villagers with resources for stranded animals, and leveraging oceanographic models to pinpoint danger zones for dugongs, establishing recovery ponds to curb species loss. Innovatively, the department is experimenting with feeding dugongs alternative food sources that mimic seagrass chemistry, such as morning glory and seaweed. A pilot project at Phuket’s Rawai Beach saw the voracious sea mammals devouring all the vegetables placed for them, offering a glimmer of hope. Despite this promising development, Mr Pinsak stresses these substitutes are mere supplements, underscoring the crucial need for seagrass bed restoration. As Thailand rallies to protect its iconic sea mammals, the nation faces a race against time and tide to ensure these gentle giants don’t vanish from their centuries-old habitat.
