You need to eliminate your own hardware/software before you start blaming ntl IMO.

[Edit]-I'm going to merge these 2 threads soon as we don't need 2 on the same subject.
Neil, thanks, point 5 above implies that my own hard/software seems to be OK.

When connected to ADSL, the whole process works fine. Whenever I am trying to debug something like this I always try to change one thing at a time...

Changing *just* the broadband connection and finding that the problem goes away really does imply that something to do with the broadband is the issue here.

I must admit intermittend problems like this are infuriating as they are so much harder to track down...
