Hi having problems with wired and wireless connections.

I have changed the ADSL filter twice. There has been 1 other laptop and 2 phones over Christmas at home with no one been able to connect.

They have never had problems in the past.

I have reset the modem, and run the set up from the BT Voyager 2100 configuration manager.

At times I can connect but no one else can.

I found I could type a search into the PCA search bar and open to a page of titles to choose from but not open them.

Google Bing yahoo typing a search into them brought up nothing just a blank page.

Opening network in Control panel or anywhere else just freezes the laptop but then it has done that for the past 3 years.

Skype has remained in use at all times wired or wireless which seems odd to talk send messages etc, when I cant connect to the net.

I am with Tiscali so this may be the problem I will have to google and find out or ring them. I will try a new j11 cable and if all fails a new modem as last resort.

Had a similar problem some time go:

In the end Tiscali / Talk Talk admitted a problem at their link at the local exchange LLY. I would phone them before getting a new router.
