For some reason i keep losing connection.....is there any settings that need changing

on 4mb connection

 

have you got wireless tiff ?

ive found that my router every few days or so seems to loose connection and i have to unplug and plug back in again

anoying when your watching a film in bed and you gotta come back down stairs on ceramic floor tiles with no slippers

 

I am running a wireless router but the PC is hard wired in.

Could that be afecting it?

 

tiff when my router does it the light wont flash on one port and i get no internet on any pc in my house

the pc will be AFTER the router i belive,, as it the modem goes to router the to the PC's

ive got a netgear thing and it does it all the time,,, ive got mates who get the same thing but aint a geek like me and use the pc 24/7

 

Is it NTL or Virgin now Tiff......reason I ask is that I know they've been having issues over the past few weeks that causes exactly the same symptoms as you are experiencing!!

 

NUKE IT



chat 2 ya on msn if ya stuck mate

 

I have NTL/Virgin mate and it's forever going wrong

Sometimes it can be off for a few mins, others it can be off for fookin hours

 

mines fine, but I suppose I have now tempted fate ?

 

I only usually get problems with Virgin around this time of night.... usually end up copying any post I make cos the first one never gets through... always works second time though... very wierd.

Having said that.... have wireless on the lap top and the dongle's plugged into the pc.... never been able to get onto the internet with the PC... hence its sat in the cupboard... and my hate of laptop keyboards has been overcome by HAVING TO USE IT!

 

ive been on virgin for 4 years (telewest before obv)

its went down ONCE in all that time,,, and it was a engineer who disconected me by accident connecting someone else up

 

Yep, no probs here with telewest/virgin
apart from having to keep rebooting the tv box

 

I've had loads of problems lately with NTL/Virgin, very slow response, sometimes no response.

And the dirty robbin fookers used to have a Status Line you could ring for free that would play a recorded message of known problems.

Now you have to ring some Gupta (real name John) in india who talks shite and holds the call up for as long as possible just to tell you there is a fault and they are working on it.... all the time making money for that cnut Branson.


NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS ARE :-

i) Get rid of Virgin TV/ Broadband and get something cheaper

ii) Ditch Lloyds TSB for my business bank and move to HSBC for 18 months free business banking...

iii) Loose some weight

iv) stop being polite to time wasting cnuts from foreign lands who havent got two pennies to rub together....
