Oh, I used to have that problem! Did you try rebooting your router? (I know you said you rebooted, but I wasn't sure if you meant your laptop or the router). Did you check to see if your router is set to go to sleep for power saving? What's your operating system?

I was mainly rebooting the laptop. I did try resetting the router which didn't seem to make much different initially but it's not been too bad today *touches all the wood in reach* The router doesn't go to sleep, I know I turned that setting off. I'm running Vista :-/

Bugger :( hope you can sort it out..

[ganimede]

[chaquir]

is it still not solved?

[ganimede]

I'm not usually online at the weekend but it's been working okay today. Hopefully it's sorted itself out now *fingers crossed*

I hate it when that happens! :-( Hope the books are of some comfort.

The main issue with the books is that there's very little in the way of interaction. The comment section is sadly lacking.
