I just can't get on the net. I can see my router and connect with the password, but still won't go on the net. Mind you when I log into the router with my p.c. it does not show it as connected!

Double check the password for upper/lower case. Getting one wrong is the usual reason for what you're experiencing.

There is a lot of discussion on the web regarding the ports to use for Tiscali and an Android device.

Some people have said that this combination works for POP3...

Tiscali ? Login username@tiscali.co.uk

Incoming email (POP3) pop.tiscali.co.uk

Outgoing email (SMTP) smtp.tiscali.co.uk

Incoming Port 110

Outgoing Port 587

Outgoing SSL Yes

Outgoing Authentication Yes

On the new tablet, it says connected to router, but on the bottom right corner it says "no internet connection",the router is defo on and connected to the p.c's etc. I notice on the "wireless & networks" part on the tablet it says VPN, portable hotspot, ethernet and mobile networks, I wonder if i have to do something there?
