Did post message to list on sunday saying i'll update group in couple of weeks but haven't seen it posted (know it's gone out, at least it's in the sent box in webmail).
In case that message didn't get out. Well I've changed DNS settings from the old numbers to the new. Refer to simon knights' email of 15/6 for new DNS settings. Even phoned voda asking why the new DNS settings weren't emailed out the OP being rather helpful said the old ones are still running why would we, I said no more thanked her and hung up. Doing a search of the help gave me the new DNS numbers too for clear, paradise users (entered DNS settings). Maybe being _too_ optimistic here but not doing anything else for a wee while. @Derek I've had the wireless router for @ 3 - 5 yrs now with no big issues (D-link 600 i thinks) (kinda thought it was on it's way out, No updates been made available to it ever - having checked multiple times over this period). Re A & B nope if the link is down it's down regardless of how you're connected to the router sometimes after like X tries the web page/site gets found (like micro outages) chrs - dave. ----- Original Message Follows ----- > Hi, > three questions: (apologies if you have already > answered them) > > a)Is it equally bad when you take wireless out of the > equation - like - does a laptop plugged into > the ethernet port experience the same issues? > > b)Some cheap modem boxes have very poxy wireless > systems. moving/rotating the laptop can kill a link. > > c)have you updated the firmware on the modem box?
