Sorry mate, can't help with the set up. Out of interest, how much are you paying for BT Broadband?

I've been on TalkTalk for 18 months and they've just offered me the broadband for free and a reduction in the monthly phone charge with free evening and weekend calls. All they wanted in return was for me to sign another 18 month contract.

The service has been so poor that I told them to shove it that I wouldn't really be interested.  :o

9 quid a month for the first 6 months then 18 for the following 12, think I already get free evening and weekend calls, but to be honest I don't really use the landline that much SWMBO does, and that mainly international numbers.

I'm on BT Broadband and I make a lot of use (some months over 40GB) and it is OK apart from the router-PC link losing DNS about once a day

Cheers Mike, I think we will switch back to BT Broadband. The service was really good and I think I have proved the difference between a cheap price and value for money.  :y

it usually means you need to re-install whatever add-on your browser uses to display pics

where the pics should be, is there a little pic in the corner of either a red x or a pic with a couple of shapes in?

Ahh, I seem to remember that there was something called 'BT Internet Security'. Does it still have this?

Could be something like telling it to automatically download pictures.  :-?

Mikedundee - right click on one and select 'Show Picture'.  Is it all pictures? Or just ones from certain domains (eg photobucket etc)?

Click tools+Internet options.

Select the security tab and then click on trusted sites.

Add www.omegaowners.com to the trusted sites list.

You might also want to add images.omegaowners.com as well.

See how you get on then

Right Mike, time to try out BT's excellent and free technical help line. I would be interested to see how you get on. It would help me to make my mind up whether or not to go back to them.  :)
