  1. Needing some help from anyone in the know.

    Switched from BT to Sky today and the broadband connection seems to be fine (wireless router).

    Got the home PC sorted out okay - no problems there. Happy days I thought.

    Problem is this....

    I also have a work's laptop. It took me a while to work out, but I eventually got logged on to the company network (we use Odyssey and iPass Connect). This also got me onto the regular internut no problem.

    However, when I disconnect from the network and try to access the web normally, the laptop is picking up the connection but can't seem to find an address.

    Basically it means that I can only access the internut if I log onto my company's network first. This is no use as it is firewall central.

    Anybuddy got a clue what I need to do?

    I had similar issues recently. When you change devices you need to reboot the modem. When it is rebooted it will answer the devices query for the new IP Address.

    If that isn't the issue then it might be down to a conflict in the IP Addresses used for your VPN and your home network. However, if you are connecting the devices direstly to the modem and not through a router it would not be an issue.

  2. I am on the Virgin VIP package......free recording doofer box plus you get to keep your old set top box to use in another room, 10MB broadband soon to be upped again, all the channels including Setanta and free calls including to mobiles and international = £85 a month.

    The new recording doofer box is a genuine "whit the fu" technological advance! However, the contact centres are as pish as ever. Broadband support is also done offshore rendering it utterly useless. Best to moan like f**k to the corporate CS team who will send an engineer out, who are decent sorts and technically capable.
