Re: Re: ISP suggestions

[Martin Howell <martin.howell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm back!  Upgrading the router firmware did the trick, though it took
a
few goes to get the right settings, and now if you save the config on
the router, it won't connect to the 'net until you run the configuration
tool again - don't have to re-configure anything, just run the tool and
it springs back to life.  Programmers?  Bunch of tarts.

Thanks to Iain for spotting the router issue, I'd searched the f2s site
a thousand times and I think the note about the router only appeared
either yesterday or today. I'm still well peeved about the complete
absence of any support, so will probably change anyway.

Thanks again for all the help and suggestions
