Re: Help...Trying to get XPhome to connect via my NTLcable

Hi,

Thanks, after fiddling about, we found the bit to add toolbars,
it is in the dropdown under 'Tools' so we got the normal set now!

Anyway, now that my friends XP is running, i have put my little
network of three PCs back into the cable modem, and then my stuff wouldn't work.
So i thought, well, maybe the cable modem has adjusted itself
to the numbers in the XP machine, so maybe i should switch it off for
a little while, and try again !!!

Nope. So i tried my router off for a bit, Nope, then the router and the
cable modem, Nope, then the router and not the cable modem, Nope,
then my PCs and the cable modem - with the router on, Nope, Then
starting the router first, Nope, all these with five minute intervals ....

Then i kinda lost the plot .......

Just switched everything on, and guess what, all ok.

Could someone tell me ... what is the correct order of starting
the stuff up ?

And just for fun (to rub it in) i think my 40gig hard drive is failing,
i hope not but its giving trouble running scandisk, thats a bad sign.

Cheers, John
