thanks ignition, i take your point! I cannot survive without the internet its a nightmare!
Im tempted to ring them now even though im at work, im confident its at their end, i mean after all i plugged in a brand new system built by me on xp pro last nite and got the same problem!
when i click on internet explorer it takes an age to load, when cannot display the page. as soon as i turn off the modem it runs straight away, same with outlook
