Stop Messing Around!!!

Hiya Pop Pickers. What a stressfull day i've had today, phew!! and all my own doing too. we've recently changed over ISP to Plusnet which seemed like a good deal at the time. Way cheaper than BT and a free Domain Name and some Web Space too. Well up till the last few days all's been well but when i started to try to download a few tunes from one of them nice friendly Share and Share alike Progs it was taking a lifetime to download just one tiny file. So no fear, Computer Wizard Here to the rescue!!! I started to investigate by playing around with the Firewalls on the pute's with no success then i tried re-installing the Share Prog and that didn't make a difference so the next port of call was the Router/Modem settings. So i set about changing just the odd setting here and there and then coming out and trying the prog again. No difference at all so i was begining to get really annoyed by now so i just pulled out all the stops and changed just about every setting on there. So i came out of the program and re started the router and lo and behold i had completely lost the internet connection all together, good move i thought. Well nothing to loose i thought so i had to totally reset the Modem/Router again. All seemed to well till i tried to get on the internet on the Laptop, it was having none of it although i could access the router from it but not the internet which left me scratching my bald head. After about 2 hours of further twiddling around i ended up restarting the Router again this time after disconecting all the other putes from it and Hey Presto it worked we have lift off as Bud would say ha ha ha!!! Once i had set up the other putes to be able to connect i went and tried to download some tunes again and the problem was still there. Damn, Damn, Damn!!!! After venturing on to Plusnet's web site more so the Forums it appears that the service we signed up to is not designed for downloading via these P2P type progs and as a result our best option is to Upgrade. OH NO YOU BLINKING DON'T!!! thankfully we are only on a Monthly Contract so should be able to move fairly swiftly although there may be a prob as I've promised Bud, Blue and Green their own new home which was part of the deal when we moved to Plusnet so I'm waiting to see what they have to say before i have to break the Good or Bad news to the boys. So please keep your fingers and toes and whatever crossed for me and Mum make sure that includes Jemma too!!!

By the way did i ever mention the fact that i take on Computer Repairs if anyone's interested? Anyone? Maybe? Well Guess Not Then.....

See Ya....
