:fuckinghell: My wireless connection keeps cutting out for a few seconds every 20 minutes or so then reconnecting str8 away. It is driving me mad cause I get logged out of chatrooms when it happens.:x
Any ideas why this keeps happening to connection and how I can fix?
All help appreciated! :cheers:
Hi...as well as interferance causing it have you altered any settings on your modem or router?? May be worth resetting the router to default settings....mine has a little reset button on the back...only do this if you know how to get it going again tho
.....ie getting your security back on line mainly.....moving the router may help to.....trial and error i'm afraid....Gary ....

Okey dokey- I have a another question....
we have a speedtouch modem supplied by Tiscali. Whilst our neighbours have their wireless disconnectedfor the summer, I'm swapping the modem twixt the PC and my laptop. It runs fine on both, but it's annoying to keep moving it.
Right, as pooters are both set up to run on that modem, could I get a (plentiful) identical one on ebay, and just plug it in- or would it need to have the setup disk?
Would this enable me to run both pooters at once?
I know....pretty basic stuff, but I'm doing this for the benefit of others, you know!
Ok first off I am completely against the use of someone elses wifi even if they are daft enough to not secure it.....this can cause no end of problems for them regards monthly usage etc....Apologies if you were just joking bout that....
Secondly what you need is a wifi network of your own...routers are down to the 25-35 quid mark now so I would go down that road.....
Sounds like you have got it sussed .....I am goin down the usenet route now as portchanging didnt fox mr bransons tech guys lol it went off after 2 mins of downloading an episode of a series we are trying to watch :)....can you recomend a site for good uk usenet access i know i will have to pay....have seen one for a month so far....cheers Gary :)

pop your postcode in and it will tell you your current speed and your maximum available (via phone lines)....not sure how good the new mobile dongles are if they are affected by other factors like signal strength etc....Swapping from one isp to the other is far easier with broadband....most of the time you dont need to put their software in as its only a case of registering or activating their modem the first time you use it....We have a prob with virgin at the mo they are stopping folks downloading using torrents but other than that our speeds have always been as they should....Lots of isps claim speeds that are just not achievable on old phone lines etc so people are paying for a service that they will never get full advantage of.....
Cheers Gary

Vista Help - we have a fairly new HP desktop machine, running Vista Home Edition, 3gb RAM, 500 GB hdd (partitioned to 450 and 50gb) and 350 external drive which is for daily back ups. Less than 2 gb of stuff in My Docs, not many programmes installed (10gb max)but the hard drive is now showing that it only has 30gb free. No back ups are done on to the internal hard drive, all onto the external one.
I have done disk clean up (including all old restore points apart from the last one), defrag, and deleted all tmp files. I have also restricted the restore point size to 5gb but the hard drive is getting fuller by the day (at a rate of around 4gb per day)
Helllllppppppppp :shock:
Just incase anyone has any ideas on this :cry:
Hi.....
Right my money is on a virus causin this prob....try spybot search and destroy or something similar just in case your anti-virus missed something....also if it was mine I would reformat....after backin up your files to a memory stick first....then after the format scan your memory stick for viruses b4 restorin your files.....best of luck...

Hi can you tell me is it as easy as it looks when you try to download windows XP over windows vista?
is there anything I should watch out for?
Hi why are you gettin rid of XP or do you mean over writing XP with Vista???
Windows should take care of it all....but back up alll your files first...obviously....another option is to create a dual boot pc by just installing windows into another directory.....windows will auto matically create a boot menu so you can choose between XP or Vista ...am not sure but I think you have to put Vista in first .... have not tried it tho ....Peanut will probably be on later and put us both right .....Also a Memory stick is made using flash memory so thats where the names get muddled but essentially all the same
...Cheers Gary xxx
