TP when I had Pipex some years ago the login name was strange,
aoog66%dsl.pipex.com in my case, on pop.dsl.pipex.com.

Thanks K,

I have tried various permutations.

There is a way of testing access via telnet. It failed on this laptop but worked on another working off WiFi. I rebooted my modem router and it now works on this laptop - but still my nPOP mail reader cannot get into the Pipex POP3 box.

There is a suggestion that I reset the TCP IP but that sounds a bit hairy when it might b*gg*r the bit that is working fine.

K,

I can now get into my Pipex via Virtual Access - but not nPOP.

Clearly the problem is at this end with the nPOP.

I'm going to try a re-boot to see if that makes it work.

EDIT. Re-boot no use. What did work was to entirely remove the Pipex entry in nPOP and start again......

I think someone put up a pointer to the Hybrio rechargeable batteries that keep their charge, when not in use, for longer than the others.

Has anyone experience of battery testers? It seems to me that knowing when to throw away an old rechargeable is just as important as knowing which new one to buy.

A photo forum I use pointed me to these:-

But it would be easier to find one that is already imported into the UK.

TP,
i would phone Pipex to make sure your password and ID is correct for your email account as its not the same as your internet ID and pass,had the same sort of problem with my dad's pipex account,
make sure this to :-

incomming mail (pop3) pop.dsl.pipex.co.uk
outgoing mail (SMTP) smtp.dsl.pipex.co.uk

ID for email account should have something like asut80@dsl.pipex.com
internet it will be something like kayak's above name60%dsl.pipex.com

hope this helps

help up until recently i could open pdf files,but over the last few days my computer freezes,i have deleted a/reader & re-installed but the same thing occurs any help appreciated tia

TP, http://www.uniross.com/consumer_html/range.php. They have changed the branding and there are now two types, standard and plus.

I have always got mine on ebay from volume sellers and they have been fine.

Edit - crappy site, not sure the link will work for you.

Scussy,

Thanks for the Pipex stuff.

I have got it to run eventually. I use Virtual Access and nPOP.

I'd clearly set something up wrongly in nPOP and could not correct it. In the end I started again with a new 'menu' and it worked a treat.

K,

Agreed. Crappy site. Can't find any testers.

Google finds a Uniross one for 2.88 at Amazon. I cannot believe that it does what that ZTS for around 29 USD is doing.

My understanding is that you have to read the battery 'under load' to get a meaningful guide to whether the battery is wearing out. The photographer that set me down this road says that he throws out all the batteries that read less than 60% when recharged.

I'll go on looking.

But thanks for the interest.

I need to know if adding new filters to my telephone line will help improve my broadband speed as Pipex tell me it will???

At the moment I am getting 1.8mbps on a good day, however BT tell me the line can take 4-6mbps, the last few days I have rang Pipex to ask them to help with speed and all they say is try new filters, if I do which ones do I get???

I don't know if they differ in quality, but I suspect that most are the same. Why not buy a new one for a fiver and test it?

Test it with no other phones or filters plugged in, and blug your router into the BT master socket. Or better still, if you have a modern master socket, remove the front plate which dissconnects all of your extensio wireing and plug the filter in direct.

Optimist, thanks ;-)

That's what they suggested plug it into a master socket, but I cant reach it behind large TV and very difficult for me in wheelchair ;-) I find away thou ;-)

Richgit69.

Mate of mine at BT says adding new filters will not help.

I thought that it was the broadband that was noisy and so the filters were to help phones plugged into the same socket by filtering out the unwanted noise.

ie. Filters help phones but do not help broadband.

K
You got a mate........

Several ;O)

Keaydian, Thanks ;-)

Incidentally I've just been onto the Pipex website - and I find I'm now with Tiscali :-(

Off to find an alternative b/band supplier.

Seymour, exactly what I an thinking ;-)

Keep well away from them ;-)

How big is 1GB? Then and now!!!!
