I lost my internet connection this morning while I was having second sleep and hadn't the faintest idea what to do. I rang Ian and he asked me a few questions and said what he thought it was, a failure of the connection between the router and the computer. I said I'd check that but he said he'd pop round after he had had his breakfast and have a furtle. I took the cable out from the router to the computer, reinstalled it and lo and behold I had a connection. I rang Ian, told him he was a genius and thanked him and now I go forwards full of hope! :biggrin2:

On an entirely separate matter, I needed to buy a compact flash card reader and found one £4 and £9.48 postage..... That looked a bit steep so I went further and found one in Laceby Lincolnshire for less than £4 with free delivery.
Could the fist one have been a scam? :laugh5:

It tells me that it is forbidden. So I tried my usual one and 75mb down and 27mb up. Perfectly adequate.

Works for me Stanley, must be the security on your browser.

Nowt wrong with it, it's a certificate protected link.

Anyway, matters not you have one that does the job.

I tried it and it showed my speed in an instant, not like all the others I've ever used which usually show a dial or something similar and you see it taking the reading. I notice it has `Netlix' at the bottom of the page! :scratchhead:
