I've already got the Sky username and password saved, so that's not a problem. As Haystack says, there are forums which tell you how to do that.

:o)

Hil,

I think we've got to the nub of the problem - Sky's own firmware in the Netgear router. I wish they wouldn't do stupid things like that. They never upgrade it to fix problems, unlike the router manufacturers.

I should attempt to dissuade your husband from flashing.

You'd be better off splashing out on a new Netgear DG834G v.5 router (which has the latest ADSL chipset in it.) Less than 50.

On edit: the v.5 does a better job of the link to the new 21CN DSLAMs used by BT - I don't know about Sky's kit in LLU exchanges, but I wouldn't mind betting that the same is true.

That's apparently a discontinued model MM:

DISCONTINUED - USE DGN1000

I have windows 7 and I have hit some thing causing my toolbar to disappear and only shows when I hover my mouse above it does any one know how I can rectify this so the toolbar is showing on screen all the timethanks

Lots of people are reporting this. It looks like a glitch in Windows 7.

If a 'double click' doesn't solve it here's a solution.

(Q. Temporary? Permanent? A. I'm not sure)

Call up the Task Manager (shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Esc)

Then:

File
New Task (Run), explorer.exe

Also make sure auto hide is not enabled for the Taskbar. Right click the Taskbar, Properties, uncheck the auto hide button.

I need a decent (ie better than Talk Talk's standard offering) modem router with wi fi. I like the sound of some of the netgear stuff, particularly those with software that can limit access for different machines at different times of the day, and with safe filters built in so my kids don't see anything inappropriate.

Has anyone any recommendations of wireless modem routers that they think fit this bill? Not too worried about the cost, just want a bit of quality kit that doesn't keep dropping the broadband signal.

ExecLine and jonuk76 thanks for reply......had a fiddle on and f10 sorted it out

All of a sudden in the last few days, IE 7 has started warning me that websites i normally use have both no secure and secure pages, do I wish to continue options are yes, no or more information, I have firewalls and virus checkers running, so did to know, why this is happening and how to stop it popping up

I am increasingly being asked to edit pdf files which is cumbersome to say the least with only adobe reader.
There are several products PDF Pro, PDF Editor etc. Any experiences/recommendations that have worked well for yourselves without breaking the bank?

I bought this.

Does what I want.

I also have CuteFTP which works fine - so I trusted the brand

TP

Thanks Publisher. I've downloaded the evaluation version but it does seem a little heavyweight for me. I have e.g. course notes in a pdf which need the text updated for changes in syllabus. Nothing fancy, just place cursor and delete/revise text. The cute product does a lot of things but surprisingly nothing that basic.
Trying out some others but thanks anyway.

Im using IE8 32bit and windows 7, but am unable to click on the buttons to the left of the java applet in the stockwatch module. If I hover over the graph/trades/news buttons the cursor doesnt turn into a hand and does nothing when clicked, however if I hover over the 'add note' button on the right hand side it does work. I have visited Adobe website and its telling me I am running the latest version of java. Please help!

I have the same setup and all the links work well in stockwatch even though the cursor doesn't change to a hand.
suggest you post on the "Managed bugs and enhancements report thread" during working hours and the staff will get back to you

Just changed ISP's to Plusnet - so much faster and good customer relations.
..but I've lost my free web space and made a big mistake signing up to Just host. I'd like to say they are rubbish - but they aren't even that good.
Any suggestions?

My HP nc4000 notebook has lost its wifi option. Can still connect via cable. The wifi tells me that there is a connection available when I scan but when I connect it keeps telling me that there is no access point available, when there is.
Can any of the experts help me get my wifi running again please.

Microsoft have now released Internet Explorer 9 for general use.

NB. It is not available for Windows XP users.

Check out the 'Features' and 'What's New?' and then, if you want, also 'Download it'.

I have a Motorola Dext phone with the Android O/S. Does Android support Java as am having great difficulty getting the Stockwatch page to display on the MoneyAM mobile site? Have done a little research but can only find reference to the equivalent as a Linux addition. Also Java is not listed as a program in my phone settings.
