    Why have you posted your problem in this thread? You would be better starting your own thread in this board. State if your Virgin Media cable or ADSL?
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    Except you might want to edit yours, you left off a bracket in the hypertext. But I agree, it's like you don't even exist and only animals and insane people can see you ;)

    TOG - No offense meant - but your link only led to a general page and mine goes to the heart of the matter !!
    And as stoke_chick didn't know what a port was, felt that there could be problems finding the acutal info. Always a fan!!

    Actually it is identical. The reason it goes to the general wiki page is because TOG made a typo by not making the end bracket hypertext as well. For some reason the forum won't automatically turn the end bracket of a link into http. He obviously didn't mean it to be a general wiki page otherwise no point in linking to it. This is what TOG typed (turned completely into http) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_port_(hardware)

    Thank you for explaining, but then it was either identical or it wasn't. The small typo which I did not spot, made it different.

    Guilty as charged. Typo corrected. I guess that one backfired on me. :o
