Thread: Connection problems

Ez all

I'm having major problems with my internet connection. I'm not up on anything like this so I haven't got a clue if it's something I've done or not.

But after being logged on to the net for a few minutes I get a pop up box saying summat like "Dial a connection" and it knocks me offline so I have to go into tools and click the work offline button to get back online, if that makes any sense? Then when I try to click onto a webpage another pop ups comes and says "connect" This never works and I have to close the browser, then open up a new one and go into tools again and click offline Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try changing your browser

When downloading firefox, always go through their official site http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Just a just in case situation. It's always worth going through official channels when downloading browsers. Sometimes, when downloading from other sources, the code for the browser might be changed to include advertising or spyware.

Curly, give it a week, and you'll be lovin' the Firefox

Big up the selwyn for suggesting it... thought you used Safari Park or something on your Cack, I mean Mac

Am I better off uninstalling this and getting from that official site then?

It might not matter, looking at the link it seems ok, but if you want that peace of mind, then it can't hurt doing that
