    Take my advice and dial in every now and then or you may lose it one day.

    Glad you got it sorted.

    I have put it down to one of the joys of computers. Sometimes they work fine. Sometimes a little niggle but easy to resolve. Sometimes a ruddy nightmare but I am the sort of person who will not give in. Stubborn I guess but wish I wasn't.
    Hope you get sorted.

    Do you mean dial in using dial up connection?

    Yes, just do it for minute or so.

    VERY IMPORTANT >> DO NOT INSTALL DOWNLOADED DIALUP SOFTWARE. << VERY IMORTANT

    Set it all manually.

    I wonder - I am paying tiscali £12 pa for email anti spam so whether this in itself keeps the address live?

    Enjoy your tiscali account ;)

    I have three PC's at home but none with modem ---- BUT I did buy an external modem, some time ago for the very purpose of keeping an old btinternet email adress live.

    Again thank you for your help

    I would never go with Tiscalli on anything other than a free dialup for an Email to use in competitions.

    I even played safe when they asked for telephone number and gave them my 0844 one.

    You can't get better than Zen but they do cost a little more than most.
