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.

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?

It seems that the problem only occurs in cold, dry conditions - in the recent heavy rain it stood firm. I have...

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.
