I don't think you need to change your dns servers, set them back to default. You should be able to enter your IP address under an option like change web server or be able to enter your IP address for A records on mydomain.com, ftp and www. I have never used namecheap.com so don't know the actual settings. Any changes you do make can take 24 - 48 hours to update so will probably not work straight away. Hope this helps.

Haven't used either of those machines myself as I have an Asus Eeepc 1000H and a Samsung NC10. The NC10 is a little over your budget but is worth considering as it's a quality machine and has received some excellent reviews, http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2008/11/17/Samsung-NC10---10-2in-Netbook/p1. Hope this helps.

no problem. Glad I could help.

I have never used SDM on a Cisco router just Hyperterminal and a console cable. If you can access the router via console you could try the config below which is what I use to get routers connected for another ISP, hopefully Plusnet use the same settings. I have copied your network settings from the existing config, so hopefully they are correct. Back up your current config first though just in case ;-) Console onto the router and switch to enable mode Router>enable Router#wr erase (This will delete your current config) Router#reload (This will restart your router) Once reloaded, switch to enable mode again and then configure terminal. If the router asks if you want to enter intial configuration say no. Router>enable Router#conf t Router (config)# Once at this prompt paste the config below to your router. With Hyperterminal you may have to click edit, paste to host rather than ctrl+v shortcut. username administrator privilege 15 password xxxxxxxxxx (change to required password) ! ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.1 ! interface Ethernet0 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 hold-queue 100 out ! ip dhcp pool DPA network 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 default-router 192.168.0.1 dns-server 212.159.6.9 ! interface ATM0 no ip address snmp ifindex persist no atm ilmi-keepalive dsl operating-mode auto hold-queue 224 in pvc 0/38 encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer dialer pool-member 1 no shut ! ! interface Dialer1 ip address negotiated ip mtu 1420 encapsulation ppp dialer pool 1 dialer-group 1 snmp ifindex persist ppp authentication chap callin ppp chap hostname xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (change to required username) ppp chap password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (change to required password) no shut ! ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Dialer1 ! end The 837 looks very much like a Soho97 router, so if my memory serves me the CD light should start flashing, then stay on constant and the RXD and TXD lights should flash away. On the router type Router#sh ip int brief and hopefully interface dialer1 will show up up and have your static IP address assigned. The config does assume that even though you have a static address Plusnet are assigning it dynamically. If the router is up up and has your static ip address attach a PC via a network and see if you can connect to the outside world. If the router is not connected try typing on the router Router#debug ppp auth and this should tell you if the username or password is being rejected. If you want to set your router back to your original config, switch the router off and back on, switch to enable mode and configure terminal Router>enable Router#conf t Router (config)# and paste your original config back to the router. Hope this helps.

My SKY digibox was playing up so went out and bought a Freesat box, connected it to the cable that went into the SKY box and all worked first time. The number of channels is a bit limited at the moment ie no channel 5 but I think this will change over time. I called SKY to cancel my subscription and they offered me a free upgrade to Sky+ and free installation!! They swapped the LNB on the dish to a quad, you need 2 for SKY+ and that left 2 spare. I ran a cable to each of the kids bedrooms before the engineer came, he connected them to the dish for me and now I have SKY+ in the lounge and Freesat in two bedrooms.

Thanks for the tips diva25uk. I have been working in IT for quite a while and am looking for somewhere with good prospects and career progression. Do plus net promote from within or is it as say just OK for someone to start off with? Any help appreciated.

Have you been on the assesment day yet Ricky_2 and what position did you apply for? Was thinking applying for the role of Technical Support Analyst myself.

Hi, I did the 4 day plastering course with these guys and learnt a lot. Before the course I had never picked up a trowel and can now get a decent finish. I have done a few jobs for friends / family and no-one has complained about the standard of my work. Like fnkysknky said you cannot expect to pick up a trade in 4 days but the course will give you more confidence and give you a good insight into the fundamentals of plastering. I am now looking to get on with a local plasterer and learn even more. Hope this helps.

Hi, Does anyone know of, or even better been on, a CeMap training course within the Sheffield / Yorkshire region?? Done all the normal searches and most of the courses seemed to be based down south. Any help appreciated. Thanks
