Should I not have?
Should I have instead insulted them and told them that they should have known how to manually configure a router 10 years ago?
Because that was pretty basic even back then so they should have known how to do it on their own.
BF road mechanic warriors are truly a pathetic lot
Flats are relatively regular occurrences.
Repeatedly fixing the same computer problem that your friends can learn fix themselves seems like a poor approach. For you and your friend.

No one was complaining about "having to help a friend" generally.
They were complaining about having to help somebody to do something
they should be able to do themselves.
