I have installed Windows 2008 SP1 networking system, but it keeps losing
connection with my other computers, and I am getting a bit fed up with
it. After a search on Google , its a known problem apparantely.
Anyway,l have WHS 2008 on a separate drive to my Raid1 drives, which is
driven by a hardware raid controller, If that is right, so its not
linked to WHS 2008.
What I want to do now...

I'm in self contained rented offices. The telephone wiring comes to
me via a torturous route and I have no idea where the master socket is
but may well be in an adjacent building.
My broadband speeds are appalling even allowing for the fact that I'm
a long way from the exchange. Stats a
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 768 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 57.0 db ...

I'm using a TP-LINK modem router, model TD-W8960N.
I noticed a lot of activity on the panel lights tonight, whilst the computer
was on but not being used. When I check the router's log, there's one line
repeated every few minutes:
"igmp: setsockopt IP_MSFILTER"
Can anyone explain what this means, please?

It was some while ago but one of the regulars here produced a helpful guide
to sharing printers on a Win XP home network. Was it Jeff Gaines? And would
they both still be around?

Does anybody know how to (legally) watch NBC programs on a PC in the
UK? Something similar to BBC's iPlayer, I suppose.
I use Linux, but have Win 7 available if needed.

Over the last few weeks I have experienced unreliability on my ADSL
connection, usually causing it to drop repeatedly - often several times
over the course of an hour. However, when this is not happening, it
stays up quite happily. There were no problems in previous years either.
It seems that the problem only occurs in cold, dry conditions - in the
recent heavy rain it stood firm. I have...

What's the point of the 24 hour outage when every page is cached by

We're having connectivity problems with a virgin internet connection.
We appear to have routing to some sites but not others.
I've tried the VBM fault line 0800 052 0800 but that's not responding
(number unobtainable I think) let alone being answered!

My father in law was tempted by the 35Mb predicted speed and so had BT
Infinity installed today. It reached 6.6Mb. That might seem a little slow
but is a huge performance hike on the 0.9Mb he had before on BT Broadband.
Something that doesn't sit right with me about the installation, though, is
that the BT bod plugged the hub into a downstairs extension socket and not
the master socket...
