Now that it's all working, can I simply unplug the Ethernet cable from this PC and connect it to another PC, load up its browser and get a connection? Or will I have to set up the Speedtouch again? Yeah, yeah, I know it's not the best solution! I may even buy a switch soon! MM

I'm a Virgin Media user in the North East, my broadband connection seems to have died a few hours ago. Any other users having problems?

Will be moving over to ADSLMax Broadband next week, and have noticed that for the first 10 days the router/modem should be left 'on' all day, so that the optimum sync speed can be established. Neophyte question: Does that training period also need the PC to be 'on', or is the whole thing just between the router/modem (Netgear DG834G) and the telephone system? -- Maurice

It's official, top scientists in an independent study have declared that Lenny and the alarmist pseudo science drivel he and his type punt as 'evidence' is more harmful to people's health than mobile phone masts. Quote; 'In the trial, many of those who blame masts for their symptoms reported greater distress when they thought the signal was on, suggesting the problem has a psychological...

1 - I bought a new gateway with vista about 3 or 4 weeks ago. 2 - It has been running just fine 3 - Today, I am unable to connect to internet 4 - My laptop with wireless connects fine 5 - My wife's desk top with xp connects fine 6 - I've done all of the normal things a - rebooted b - made sure all updates were installed c - shut down and restarted d - pulled power on both machine and modem

Poor old Len, all agitated about double blind mast effect experiments. Perhaps he should try the following experiment: - A room has an aperture on the other side of which can be: - nothing (control) sun (~1G5m away) nuclear reactor (~10m away) or large lump of Cobalt60 / X Ray machine 1Kw Microwave (open cavity)

Hi all I am struggling with the firewall rules/scheduling on the Netgear DG834 router. The appeal of this model was the ability to schedule when the device would allow traffic through, this allowing a cut off point for service in the evening (coincidentally this cut-off point just happens to be the kids' bedtime :-)). Trouble is it didn't seem to work as anticipated last night.

Hi Have had BT Broadband option 3 MaxDSL for last 12 months and it usually syncs at ~8000 with noise margin of 8.5dB and most of the time the throughput is 5-6Mb. Yesterday, it still syncs at ~8000 and 8.5dB but now the throughput is ~50Kb/s with gaps of about a second now and then where there is nothing. BT support say it is just the number of users on-line but it is the same at 7am so not...

Hi When I was with Plusnet my email address was I left Plusnet due to poor service but yesterday I received an email from myself, i.e. the above email address, on my old Plusnet account to my new account which isn't a Plusnet one.

I have a problem that started last Thursday. I can't login to my hosting CPanel because I get a 401 error: "Access Denied The server was configured to not permit you access to the specified resource. If you believe this is in error or inadvertent, please contact the system administrator and ask them to update the host access files." I have contacted the hosts who said they can find nothing...

Isn't really annoying when you setup your new domain and the first time you login to the email account there's spam waiting for you! And I'm getting about 20 a day, mostly about the same thing - Viagra! I guess it's from the person who owned the domain previously, the one I transferred it from. But I suppose it's my problem now?

Hello- I'm with Nildram at the moment but a little unhappy at 're-grading' my account from 2meg 50Gig to 8meg 2.5Gig limit after moving house (exchange) - apparently I can't keep my 'old' 2meg 50Gig. I could go to there 8meg 10Gig for £19.99 OR I'm thinking of going to Orange's 'Unlimited' for £19.99 or any other ideas ? Dave.

Here are just a couple of snippets of information which should help you realise how and where you are being suckered into a false sense of security regarding cell phone and wi fi safety: "A year ago, Microwave News also reported that approximately one-half of all studies looking into possible damage to DNA by communication-frequency EM fields found no effect. But three-fourths of those negative...

http://www.contractoruk.com/news/003364.html The language used by the Health Protection Agency to warn about the unknowns of wireless internet technology is being used by a council to press for a temporary WiFi blackout in schools. Like the HPA, which is to probe into the technology next year, the committee of Haringey council urged a "precautionary approach" to WiFi, because of its potential...

Our BT Voyager 2110 has the wireless disabled cos wires are ok for us. Does this actually kill the signal from the antenna ? reason I ask it's located near my bed and I don't want to be bombarded with radio waves all night unnecessarily.

A colleague has BT Yahoo and uses their dire webmail interface rather than an offline email reader. They want to register their own domain so they can send out emails as rather than , but their concern is whether they will be able to do this within the constraints of the BT Yahoo webmail thingy. Does anyone have any experience of this, and if so, is...

Hello, I'm with Nildram at the moment and a little unhappy with there 'new' package limits and have been looking at other ISP's - I'm a 'fairly high user' up to around 25-50 Gb a Month and mainly during the day 'off peak' usage my line can support 8meg but 2meg is ok Orange UKonline TalkTalk Demon

Oh my word please can someone help me? I've ordered a machine from dell, excellent bargain for £599.32 However, I've had my credit card bill and they've billed it for £2014.81, I've called their head office and emailed them and now they're asking for copies of statements, it's all dealt with in India and I know they have no data protection laws over there.

copied from a forum (i couldn't have put it better myself): Phone mast allergy "in the mind" Yes, this is the study which has been going on for some years at the University of Essex, which various UK ES people have ground their teeth about periodically while it was being done! In case anyone puts it forward as an anti-ES argument, the following points might be noted. 1. It...
