    Just run through the steps to verify "private" network for 8.1
    As you're running 8.1 I'd be tempted to do a software "refresh" (NB. NOT reset) but this will REMOVE all installed PROGRAMS.

    I really wouldn't be able to do that! I don't think, and as to verifying im on a private network, cant see which bit of that site is to verify it, on the networking and internet page its says my wifi name and under it private network.

    I think that verifys it! Doh!

    Better send a txt to your Landlord and find out how he fixed it last time.
