It was that which was causing the drop outs. Now he uses the built in vista wifi stuff and it works.

I also went through power cycling the router & modem to no avail, but having read this I hope it will all be back to normal when I get home tonight. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Problems with broadband
Hi, Heres my scenario..i was playing Openarena last night...and i also had some torrents running at the same time. Then suddenly my mouse stops working..openarena goes from being full screen to half the screen size..(i can see the rest of my desktop)...i move the mouse but nothing happens...eventually i manage to exit Openarena...and my mouse starts working again...but now when i go into firefox..no pages load up and torrents have stopped to. So i proceed to taking the cables out of my router and modem...and replugging them. Nothing. I even connect it directly from modem without the router...nothing again! Im with Virgin media. i have a motorola modem, a linksy router...and im running gutsy!! Can anyone think of what might have happened? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
