Try setting up the DNS IP addresses quoted on the TalkTak support pages.

interesting tried this and it says - non-existent domanin
default server: unknown
address: 192.168.1.1
does not show any of the TT servers suggested.

Not sure what you mean, you need to manually set the DNS servers to:

DNS settings (primary) 62.24.199.13
DNS settings (secondary) 62.24.199.23

i did what it said to check the server on the TT website..i.e goto Run then type in nsdnsserver lookup.....

how do i do the above, thanks

In Windows XP:

• Click on Start.
• Select Run.
• In the window that appears, type in cmd (in lower case) and press "Enter".
• A black Command Prompt window will appear.
• In this window, type nslookup (in lower case) and press "Enter".
• This will tell you the default server and also the address of the DNS server you are connected to. This should be either 62.24.128.17 or 62.24.128.18

If you do the above while connected to a router, will see the IP of the router. To set the DNS servers manually, you need to log into the router and go to the DNS server configuration page and enter the IP addresses manually.

i have set the dns servers as my per earlier post which was instruction from TT website. All other webpages are okay except 1 internet bank and my previous hotmail and messenger problem..

after setting my DNS servers and doing the nslookip test it just says
non-existent domanin
default server: unknown
address: 192.168.1.1

SUCCESS
I did loads of google searches for help and found a tip suggesting to change the MTU setting on my modem to either 1400- that did not work for me but i changed it to 1452 and it works now!!!!!!

THANKS FOR your help, hope this thread can help others
