This is interesting. How can it be a router issue when she can use MSN Messenger and send and receive e-mails, but not browse the web? Mandy, just a thought. Why don't you try an alternative browser like Mozilla Firefox? You can get it from http://www.mozilla.org. It's fast, reliable, and, most importantly, is more secure than IE as far as I'm concerned. Hope that helps. On Tue, 12 Jun 2007 15:20:08 +0100, "Adrian Higginbotham" <adrian.higginbotham@xxxxxxxxxxxx> said: > Mandy - what router are you using?
