Re: Quick hello

Thanks for that If. I will try over there. I have a screen shot of the error message. I will try to post that tomorrow on the techie thread, I'm sure it's something to do with my ISP. When I get it sorted I will be as big a pain in the A here as I am next door. LOL.

Light grey is a guest / black is a logged in registered user so this is perfectly normal..... As for the problems connecting, you should try the following: I have also emailed this to you....

It seems that there are a lot of ISP's that are _still_ failing to update their dnscache.
Talk Talk / Tiscali being the main one (even though I have spoken to their NOC and they promise me they have refreshed, which I know for a fact they haven't)

so for a quick rundown for ease of them being useless

on xp.

right click on the relevant network connection by the clock bottom right of the screen.
click status
in the box that pops up click properties
in the next box that pops up highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then click properties
in the final box that pops up
check the use the following dns servers, then the two numbers are :
preferred dns : 8.8.8.8
alternate dns : 8.8.4.4
click ok job done.

on Vista / windows 7

open network sharing centre
on the left hand side click on manage network connections _OR_ manage wireless connection
this opens up network connections
right click on the relevant network connection you are using
in the box that pops up click properties
in the next box that pops up highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then click properties
in the final box that pops up
check the use the following dns servers, then the two numbers are :
preferred dns : 8.8.8.8
alternate dns : 8.8.4.4
click ok job done.

if you are using mac 0SX sorry I dont use macs anymore so I cannot remember the way around them. but the principle should be the same as above.

if you are using linux then you should be more than capable of changing the DNS servers that your connection uses and if you are using your ISP's servers you really need to go back to basics on linux, and learn about running bind, and then only using forwarders

woohoo - you're back - hello Mr H

I have missed your tales from Handy Hall you know....

Lots of catching up to be done by you (lol)

Re: Quick hello

Hi Niddy, yes a few tales to tell about Hooray Hall and her Ladyship, things don't alter much.
Mrs Handy came out with a good one the other day.

Her Ladyship is going to a weekly Art Class, expensive and run by a local Artist for wealthy women with little else to do with their time.

One of the exercises was to do a self portrait of yourself pulling a funny face, Lady Hooray brought hers home with her.

She proudly showed it to Mrs Handy, "what do you think" she said. Mrs H replied "that's brilliant you have got Alfred Hitchcock absolutely perfect"

If she wanted to draw a funny face she should have drawn herself at that moment.

I had to choke back my laughter and get out quickly.

Back in a while with more updates,
Regards, Handy.
