Well i'm back but i've had to restore my USB connection to get back online.
Followed your instructions to the letter & a message came up saying "You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources. This problem ocurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer"
When i looked in the network connection details, it had given me a
Physical Address
IP Address 169.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask
But did not give
Default Gateway
Dns Server
Wins server
I was offered a Repair Option & it said "Windows is renewing your IP Address"
It then said windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not be completed. Renewing your IP Address.
I repeat the whole thing again in case of a mistake - same result
My usual IP Adress by the way is 80.x.xx.xx if that helps in any way
Had to go through the same senario to restore my USB connection & that worked first time?
So i'm back in your hands guys
