I had the machine on this morning, went for a cuppa and when I got back there was a red light on the router to show no connection.

The computer could see the router.

restart but no joy.  changed the filters, no joy.

check BT for probs, none in my area.

change cable between router and socket, no change.

connect router directly to the master socket, no joy.

Phoned BT. Got through to an Indian with an english name.

Two and a half hours later. still no internet. 

Engineer phone call arranged for tomorrow.

Started emergency tidy up.   laugh

Bugger me! Five min after ending the call the damn thing connected all by itself.  See how it goes now.  Laptop doing 100MB worth of updates.

I'm presuming it was a fault at their end wot they did not own up to.

To be fair to them the lady on the phone was very good and this is the first prob I've had since I first started using the web via BT with a 56k modem

Noise on the lines has been screwing with many BT connections this past week... it has been a topic on other forums.

same here

Got called earlier to say that 'a fault at the exchange' was to blame.  Got in touch far earlier than expected.  Since BT supply many, if not most of the landline opertors they are a level removed when there's a bug.  Friend with Tiscali had to delve through many levels of nocando before getting to BT

 I always stuck with BT before because I never had probs with them as far as BB is concerned but as Paul already had Virgin here I figured I might as well use them, pretty fast too, pleased so far Wink

Don't forget the VM connection comes with several freebies DM!

One of them is the chance to chat with a guy called Fred in Bombay when it all goes tits up!

For future reference:  http://www.nthellworld.co.uk/home.php  ... a great place to moan or even get VM problems sorted!

Cuteness!

Our cats like to bug the humans when they are using the computers rather than the router.  Somedays I wish they would choose the router over me!
