Initially, the installation didn't work. I went through the steps on the CD for connection etc and then at one point it said to contact Technical Support - which I did. They talked me through it and I ended up with a different email address, even though I told them I already had a dial-up account. I am currently using the old email address (which is working fine) and not the new one. I guess this is what's caused the trouble.
I can upload the site again (esp. now I am on broadband!) but I wouldn't want a new URL... I wonder if Technical Support can reinstate it?

thanks for that. It sounds like what I was doing, but until I deactivated the email part of AVG it kept trying to dial-up. I deactivated AVG and it's been working fine since.
I'd also like to mention, that the people I contacted on the broadband medic on-line help thingy were very helpful and polite as well.
