Thank you Browntoa, I will have a go tonight, I have a old house though and have a box on the wall which comes in from outside and then a socket box, will the test socket still be in the socket? It seems to play up mostly in the evening probably at the time everyone is phoning or using the internet.

i take it we are talking broadband ??

socket box might have it....just depends when it was installed

HI Sandra, What i meant was to minimise connections between phone line coming in and your modem/router. Our desktop PC is in spare room, wall socket is in hall so we need telephone extension in order to test hardwire connection by elimination. Our problem might be due to BT engineers we saw in the area today.
Possibly in your area too? Hope you are sorted soon. :xmastree:

Does anyone know how to untick the 1571 box to see if it is that which is causing the trouble.

Thanks
