Hey that’s just so random 8)
Aquarius may be the sign of the water-bearer, but Aquarius is no water sign.
Aquarius belongs to air and thus to thought, philosophy and intellect.
Aquarians have plenty of sensitivity and passion but believe emotion should
be the servant, not the master, of the heart. Aquarians thus seek to help us
all treasure and cherish the gift of objectivity. If you need expert advice,
ask an Aquarian. No matter what the subject, you can be sure your Aquarian
friend will venture a definitive answer. Nine times out of ten, that answer
will be accurate it”s the tenth time you must watch for! So, if you are to
get along well with them, you need a good sense of humour and a slightly
sceptical nature. Aquarians can”t be changed, so you must learn to love them
for it. It”s worth doing, because Aquarian assets far outnumber Aquarian
defects. A little self-important they may be, but they are also generous and
considerate. There”s nothing dull about an Aquarian. They”re far-sighted
idealists and open-minded thinkers. You”ll find their friendship
irresistible and their company addictiveI think that is so true!

Be greatful he’s into boxes with circuitry………..I would (not beer and wo****)
You wait till he starts bringing back women to stay the night and leaves you a note out asking what time he wants breakfast delivered! :lol:
The router thing all I can add is;
When I first bought a new netgear router my ISP (called F2S) had a free technical helpline which was good, They via a remote link looked at the link and told me my why it was failing
1. firstly the cable span to the house from the pilon was old (copper cable) Now that’s not enough for me as a BT customer who was paying BT to get them to change it because my phone was working satisfactory.
I kept chipping away at the ISP and they got BT to come around and change the cable span to the house (they were each others customers) I only ever paid BT for a working line and F2S for a service added to that line there’s a contractural abyss there!
Do not fall into the trap of sorry your a BT customer and your ISP will not discuss any whats or whyfores about the account.
It can happen, Sales of goods act falls swiftly by the wayside as your buying a service not goods (forget the hardware side of things at this stage aka router)
Next item try and get a router that is;
configuration free; I.e it does itself or self learns
This again when I left F2S and tried demon B/Band I fell foul of & it was a waste of time they pulled this little stroke on me
1. You have a package where a router is extra (goodo supply me one)
2. You need to upgrade to the dearer service (thats not what is says here in your terms and conditions)
3. Call our support helpline sir (think of the cost)
4. Man offers to sell me router after a long call and at well over the top cost
5. After several attempts to get the router configuration from Demon for my existing unit I have an indian woman from the other side of the world reading the settings from my router out to me down a crackly phone line (wholly unsatisfactory language barrier)I used the Demon service for three weeks wrote them a carstrating letter and get money back, They then (As I have the right to do) got really shirty when I changed my landline number and threw them away just as quickly as they arrived, They’l threaten everything including putting lit matches under your nails but tell them they did not do as they had promised (where’s there customer commitment on their part)
I dropped the netgear router and purchased a D-Link unit, Much the same appearance wise and it took a while to get configured, But that’s due to lack of knowledge from ISP’s not the equipment.
They’l all suck your money away leaving you on the end of a phone and tell you a few buttons to press from a foreign country it’s in there best interests to make money!
Try and get an ISP with free set up and free customer support or one thats local rate calls for the whole system set up.
Routers come in all shapes and sizes, Some can handle more info some have better firmware and true firewalls
I’m sure guidance will be offered!

Sian,
The link does suggest you need a router with a certain grade of ”firmware” to allow the xbox to run over the net.
Presumably for the online gaming facility
Cant say a lot more as do not have an Xbox or a landline (not living in a caravan either) Just use mobiles and get my ISP from mobile phone masts instead of a box on the wall……….convenient.
regards

2 October, 2008 at 9:26 am #374826Following the problems in the financial sector in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.
Oh yes, and the Karma sutra bank is f****d2 October, 2008 at 5:36 am #33883818 September, 2008 at 8:28 am #372515@stephen1 wrote:
