Mega - assuming you can access this, here's a Wanadoo Help Page on the subject:

Will be different for you, of course, but might give you a few clues.

SB,thanks for the link,at the moment i am with ntl 10mb broadband and would normally have a email like ******@ntlworld.com but am hoping to use my website email address from my home pc is this possible ????????????

Mega...

Sorry Mega - don't know.

Mega,

Try pop.ntlworld.com in the box for your incoming (pop3) server and smtp.ntlworld.com in the box for your outgoing (smtp) server.

Mega you need to look at the info from whoever hosts your website as to how you can use your website email address.

Thanks folks,with all your help we have sorted it,a very happy camper here :-))))

Can anyone recommend an online backup service, which I can use to backup about 2GB of data?

For instance, I found http://www.perfectbackup.co.uk and who would charge me about 7.50 pm for this amount of storage.

Oh joy! I've upgraded my modem today and the internet connection hasn't dropped once. Now on a router ....(apparently!)

Don't know Doc but bear in mind that the backup to the backup service will count against your monthly bandwidth allowance given by your ISP.

Sound problems - still !!!!

You may remember some time ago I was saying how I had only my front 2 speakers & woofer working out of my 5.1 system.

I have finally installed a Soundblaster card (I had sound from my motherboard originally). Daft question I know but ..... should you get 5.1 sound from music CD's?

Is there a demo web page to test 5.1 output does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

Ive upgraded my Java to version 1.5.0 and can no longer get the charts to appear when i click on the icon on stockwatch.If I remove Java it works fine.
I need it though to run Limewire

Iain,

Strange, as the charts from stockwatch work as a pop up - does it still direct you to a new page or does it do nothing?

Ian

Nothing happens Ian

Ive disabled Norton etc still nothing.
