After more than a week of my internet working when it felt like it, I now have virtually full functionality except for some pages that refuse to load - eg. UW live (!), and windows Messenger that blows raspberries at me every time I try to log on.
Dunno what to do about this any more, frankly, other than throw my laptop through the window.
We run a home network wified through a small business server. Any suggestions welcome as I think my bloke is all out of ideas now.
