Since getting Plus.net 516K ADSL a month or so ago I have noticed the following problems: 1 A much larger number of "Page cannot be displayed" errors in IE6 - perhaps one in three new pages I visit - compared to my old Freeserve Home Highway connection. I have to click "refresh" or "back" to display the page - sometimes several times. 2 An inability for OE6 to synchronise reliably with...

Since I got ADSL, I've had excessive sidetone on my BT Converse 180. I've tried it with three different types of micro filter. I have no problem on a modern BT cordless. It looks like the Converse 180 is not ADSL compatible. Has anyone else seen this?

To all those that helped me decided to go with Central Points 150 kbps product. It works great. I get 256 up and around 200 down, all for the 12.99 (yes it is suppopsed to be 13.99 I think) Thanks loads

Hi, I am using Wanadoo broadband with no problems on my main compuer. I have a 2gig pc running XPhome, my wife has a 1gig pc running win2000, we are connected via a crossover cable and can 'see' each others computers. I have tried to setup internet sharing so my wife can use IE on her system using my broadband connection. Only sometimes it works.

I'm new to BB (activation end of week) and looking forward to downloading from the binary newsgroups. A google search pulls up loads of binary NG download software available - anyone got a recommendation pls?

Hello! Just sitting in hong kong triing to pass a login of PCCW Wi-FI via Netvigator login page. I found no way to login with the native login string . The ipass dial in SW doesn't work on my lap at all.

I have a really bizare problem that I am hoping someone can help with. I have a Netgear DG834v2 router (although I think the router its self is irrelevant to the problem), it is connected to a BT 512k DSL connection. On my machine I only get 300kb/s down and 150kb/s up. This is however only on my machine, any of the other computers in the house are fine and get 464k down and 235k up. So I'm...

any ideas? I have BT Broadband, which works satisfactory for a few hours, but then the bandwidth goes down to nothing (no upstream or downstream whatsoever). I share files through winmx, and obviously is a pain to me (and those uploading from me) when the bandwidth reduces to nothing, and the connections are aborted. I cannot even access google through my web browser.

My friend is having a terrible time with a new bt broadband installation with the Voyager 105 modem. Any help would be appreciated. Once the computer boots the Internet will work fine, after about two minutes she gets 'page cannot be displayed' errors for any webpage she goes to. It is not (as suggested by BT 'not a lot of' helpdesk) power saving settings for the usb modem, spyware or firewall...

I have applied for ADSL through CarphoneWarehouse, BT keep rejecting the application. CW don't know or aren't saying why. Just to clarify; I don't have ADSL on the line at the mo (so it's not a migration), the exchange is ADSL enabled, there is no DACS on the line (it took 3 months of fighting to get it removed about 5yrs ago - because my modem kept dropping) there has never been home highway or...

It was stated that we needed to see a significant useage change in the levels of bandwidth transfer and some customers while reducing still stayed in the very top percentile of the list. Above from +Net employee on ADSL guide forum. Ah ha! I said that this would be a problem if percentages were being used and not proper figures. Your statement means that some got penalised because others...

Trying to connect to news.colt.net but failing. Any ideas? I'm in a managed building connected to Colt via ethernet and static IP and a Vigor 290G router. The Telecoms people gave me this server name and I can resolve it (get 195.110.64.132) but the ping times out. Thanks, Fred.

Just wondering as for the last 7 days the order status on my Pipex BB order has said "on hold while BT make further line checks". I know the line is DACS as BT told me when I queried the max 28 kbps dialup connection.

I've just recently moved, having had broadband for 8 months with no problems at the old house. I am still at the same exchange, but I think a bit further out (we are the last house down a long road). Now, I've had the line at the new house activated for a week. I am getting continual dropouts, getting progressively worse after first booting up. It improves slightly if I reboot. It might stay on...

Anybody know what's up with the internet in the uk today? bbc works ok but dabs and natwest are both unreachable? just wondering : tracert www.bbc.co.uk Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk

Existing network here has a hub and three PCs sharing files and a couple of printers (on separate PCs). Wish to continue these facilities when broadband arrives (soon), but have not given it much thought, leading to incipient panic. Looks as though broadband configuration will be based on a router/modem with four ports, connecting to network cards on the PCs. Our current requirements centre...

I wish to buy and use the above to enable me to access broadband on a desktop pc and a laptop. I think I understand basically what kit I need to buy - but I'm still a bit confused over how to print? Am I right in thinking that I will be able to plug my printer into a USB port on the router, and then print wirelessly from my laptop - without the need to power up my desktop pc? And if this is...
