Start at the friggin telephone socket at the wall man....

One wire should go into the broadband router and thence via another wire to your PC.

If there is a telephone type wire which goes from the telephone type socket direct to a modem built-into your PC that might cause the issue....
Shouldn't there be a broadband filter thingy there somewhere? Ours stopped working when I plugged an extension into the socket in the kitchen without one.

DS's filter point is a valid one methinks.

Dunno. Is a little white box that the phone line connects to? If so, yes.....somewhere. It was buried under a mound of shite under me desk last time I saw it.
I've got a humoungously large spider that lives under there, in fact I'm now wondering if Simon has been eating it p'raps?

Won't werk without one. I tried.
By coincidence, AOhelL have just rung me on an unrelated matter, and they are sending me a new one with their compliments to try and resolve the problem.
Came back into the 'fridge' and this thing had crashed again, presumably cus of the phone call. ::)

Why've you stickied this thread btw? confused:
