    Hi,
    I'm on Dial Up now, I can't connect with UTV wireless, I have wireless set up and it's been fine up until tonight, I can't even connect with the ethernet cable hooked up to the router downstairs, there is a perfect signal to the laptop and the radar icon is green and flashing as it should be but it just wont connect:confused:

    Have you looked to see if anyone is reporting a similar issue in the utv support group?

    I had the same problem this evening but it worked fine when I unplugged the router and then turned it back on.

    Yeah, it was down for a few hours here too. I had things to do, so I didn't get a chance to call it in. When I came back to it, I disconnected and reconnected, and it was all OK.

    It was definitely their problem - when it was down, I still had a valid connection, and I was able to ping the IP address at their end of the PPP session, so that rules out Eircon.

    Hi, thanks for the replies, it's still down for me though (7:50am Thursday morning). Maybe they are going through a bad patch and will be sorted by this evening.

    I couldn't connect last night around 8pm, but like one of the other posters once I had reset the modem it was fine.

    Aha... ok, I didn't even think of powering off the router, didn't think you would have to, but I did just there and hey presto, broadband back:D thanks for the help.
