I'm online via the laptop!!

I don't know what I've just done different from last night ...... but who cares! I've done it!

One easy question for you. I've done it before but can't remember how. When you open a new tab using Vista, how do you make it automatically go to your 'Home Page'?

[Drewomega]

Sorry to jump in! Re "home page"..........start--control panel--internet settings--general--home page......then type your "home page" aol, yahoo, google etc.

Thanks Drew. I was having problems making the new tab go direrectly to the set home page. I had actually ticked the correct box but it wouldn't play ball. Sorted now though but thanks again.

Thanks. I was having one last try, but put the WPA WEP (?) seetings back to how it was, put the code in (can't even remember now whether I used capitals or not ) & the laptop top connected!

I've lost use of my main PC cos daughter's laptop seems to have lost its interweb connection!  
"The wireless security settings on this computer do not match the settings on the Livebox-1330" is the message she is now getting on the laptop. She says that all was well one minute & then the connection just went.
I've tried resetting the Livebox by pressing & hold button 1 on the side till the antena(sp?) led started to flash, & putting the long security key in again.
When I go to 'connect to' on the laptop I get the screen with the various neighbours connections available, & instead of the graph like indiction of signal strength available she just has a red cross against our Livebox, however if  turn off the wireless & then turn it back again, it shows our Livebox signal strength at max.  :-/ :-/ :-/

That's me now at the limit of my PC knowledge.

Any ideas or suggestions greatfully recieved

Check that windows firewall is not blocking you .. control panel/security windows firewall .. turn it off !!  see what happens.

Windows firewall often resets itself if you do an automatic update.. its a pain in the arse.

I have autoupdates turned off, and windows firewall off permanently. I use an independent firewall which actually TELLS me when it blocks something ... unlike windows firewall which just does its own thing whenever it wants !!

I'll see what I can find. I'm off under my car now. The MOT tester said that there was the start of some play in a steering idler, I've been intending to have a look.
The MOT ran out yesterday.
