I hope you've sorted it, BB

Kevin

I have the same problem just now

any help on the stages you went throug once it said ...corrupt

thanks

All,

it seems the java website is up and down this morning, whcih is why you are probably seeing the corrupted message. when the site stabilises, you should be able to run the install correctly.

londongo - On the Java download site I found a grey Help Resources panel on the left. I clicked on the error messages and then download errors and it worked from there. Whether that was because I caught it at one of Java's "up" moments, as Ian mentions, or not I don't know, but it's all right now. Best of luck. TOK

it worked, the key was dowloading from offline instead of online, I got the same comment on the net.

so thanks again

I have an old laptop thats reached the end of its life.

Needs to go in the bin.

Is it enough (security wise) to remove and smash up the hard drive, or are there other gismos inside that can hold onto info?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yep, that's all you need to destroy. Might be worth taking out the RAM just in case you can use it for another machine.

Thats a good idea, thanks Harry.

I've started to get this error in CHROME - just me?

"Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED): Unknown error."

Am running Chrome with XP & Vista. No probs so far.

Thanks Harry - it started yesterday afternoon and it appears to be (for me) Chrome orientated on W8 and XP.

There are quite a few recent references on the net, none conclusive.

I have a new Netgear wireless router at work which gives a good signal, however, if more than one wireless device tries to access it, it struggles. Can anyone shed any light on this? It's plugged in to a network socket, and is remote from the modem.

"....and is remote from the modem". Why do you have a modem as well as a router?

Floss,

Check the setting for the lease duration first - the leases need to be non-expiring. Then try assigning static IP addresses for laptops (or PCs using wireless), and just allow DHCP for mobile phones and other small hand held devices.

Also, if you're using 802.11n devices, mixing n with g has been known to cause a problem. Try disabling it and just using 802.11g.

We're always getting a problem whenever my son comes home from uni with his laptop and tries to connect through DHCP.

Harry,

Floss is probably on Virgin. They're *not normal*. :o)

Yes - we want 'normal' virgins!

Betcha do!

Thanks Harry & Hils.

Hils is correct - we are Virgin, and they don't do wireless modems. Also, the area we want wi-fi in is a long way from the modem.

Your point about n & g signals is interesting as we have exactly the same problem connecting my son's laptop when he comes home from Uni.

I'll give all those a try. We've just started using an iPad at work as well. Does that count as a small hand held?

I presume that your Virgin WiFi is via a cable superhub modem and you have Virgin TV. We have Virgin and the WiFi is fantastic. When we pull up in the car in the side side street portable devices connect. My son picks up the WiFi at the bus stop 50 yards down the road.

You might change the channel number. If you have an android device or iPhone/iPad you can download a free app that will show you the traffic on the various channels. Then you van pick one that is not congested.
