On further investigation after attaching a new router (today) it seems that further damage has been done.  The network now works but the internet is still not available…  Tech support were not responding, so it won’t get sorted until at least tomorrow at the earliest.  It will probably take even longer because first the service provider  have to do a check, then if the problem isn’t there it gets passed onto BT to see if the lines and exchange are working properly…

I have managed to get get a temporary connection using mobile broadband but it is slow, so no Flickr uploads, they are too large…  And for some reason it won’t let me comment on most Blogger blogs.  So please bear with me I will get back to commenting eventually, technology willing!
