    Hey, just wondering if someone could help me with this. For a while I've been unable to do certain things. I can't upload videos to youtube, pictures to facebook/photobucket, log onto windows live messenger or access the itunes store in itunes.

    Anyone know what it could be? I keep getting network error messages when trying to do these things. I also have to make sure that this box is checked before my computer will connect to the internet. Anyone have any ideas?

    Much appreciated!

    For wireless use a on demand connection-not automatic. Make sure that the router is broadcasting the SSID, not hiding it. FYI the default eircom zyxel modem is a piece of ****e-im using a netgear modem now which is much better.

    Today some people here like myself have noticed slow down with eircom today.

    I had to re-install windows and it was fine before that. Worked for about 2 weeks after re-installing and then just stops. I can connect normally and do all those things when logged is as another user on the computer.

    Ta, will try that now. The connection itself is fine once connected.

    Edit: Yep, all that is on but nothing.

    Nope, gave that a try there but no luck. I think I'll just pop my files onto a memory stick and set up another user. Thanks a lot for your help though :)
