I'm computer illiterate as I'm just about to prove!! I had been unable to access the forums for over ONE WEEK!!! My son came over and said he thought it was to do with my wireless router. Adjusted the size of "package" allowed and hey presto I was back! Realise this is probably less than useless but maybe someone will "get it". And I'm on pipex, don't know if that's significant.

Same prob here until a couple of hours ago.

Another one who couldn't access MSE forums over the weekend. Everything else I tried on the net was accessible.

Hmmm, I've just started a download on my 2meg line and I appear to be downloading a 790kbps... looks promising!

if people know your IP adress, they cant hack you. it takes less than 10 min for someone to have a list of over 100 active IP addresses. as long as you have a firewall and antivirus, you'r safe!
