Re: Internet Banking problems
To those having Internet Banking Problems: For quite a while we had problems with Westpac Online Banking. BUT would work OK on my laptop at work but NOT on my laptop at home. Also wouldn't work on iMac at home. I eventually wondered whether it was something to do with our router which was few years old. I finally bought a new router (from Daniel) and guess what? No more Internet Banking problems.

Re: Commsec website today
Hi Neil and anyone else having similar problems to mine. I was not having any problem accessing my Commonwealth Netbank or any other of my banking sites ING or Macquarie. The site I could not access was Commsec https://www.comsec.com.au/default.aspx?ShowSurvey=true I have been able to isolate what was causing this and have updated the Firmware on my (fairly new) NETGEAR Wireless-G Modem Router DG834G v4 from Firmware v5.01.01 to v5.01.09. After updating the firmware I can now access My Portfolio on the Comsec website. I would suggest anyone having problems accessing similar secure sites that they check if there is a Firmware Update for their Modem/Router.

As far as I'm aware if you are connected to a WiFi it will show the typical airport 'radar' type icon. All browsing will go through the WiFi. If there is no WiFi it will connect via 3G.

Re: windows virus scanner
Hi Reg thanks for the vote of confidence. I have downloaded, installed and run the scan. It found 1 virus and some cookies. They are now history! I also found a couple of other virus scan programs on a CNet download site: Spyware Doctor and Antivirus Pro. Are you familiar with these two and are they legit? Im curious, is there an XP2 version or is that an update from Microsoft? Can I check it somewhere on my machine to see and then download?

Re: windows virus scanner
I don't know them Chris Someone, probably on WAMUG several years ago, recommended Free AVG after I'd installed a free trial of McAfee or Nortons - can't remember which, and it then expired, insisting I pay $$$ for the privelege of it taking over my computer. So I installed Free AVG and have been happy with it - not that I actually use the Windows side much. I installed it primarily to show non-Mac believers at my school that the MacBook leased from DET could run Windows as a matter of course. You can set the Free AVG to automatically run at log-in, or at times you choose; similarly with the M$ updates. My M$ updater keeps telling me I need the Office Pro 3 updater (or something like that) then when it downloads tells me it can't find Office Pro, so now I ignore it.

Im curious, is there an XP2 version or is that an update from Microsoft? Can I check it somewhere on my machine to see and then download?

Re: banking problems
Hello Martin, Your question: networkicon coming up with this server is not available...what does this mean It means you are not 'finding' your ISP's Server therefore not connecting to the Internet. Likely to be an issue with your Network setup, or your Modem/Router, or your ISP server might 'be down' (not available) at the time. Check your Network Configuration settings in System Preferences Network - that you have all the correct settings in your ISP's DNS numbers. Restart your Modem/Router. How are you connecting to the internet,wire or wireless connection? I imagine wireless. What Modem/Router?

Maybe comparing a $500 bomb with a $1 car I'm happy to hear from anyone Thanks Martin Martin Just an idea In your system preferences Click on Network In the TCP/IP section look for Configure IPv6 Click on Configure IPv6 so a window appears .. The window probably shows Configure IPv6 Automatically ! ? If so click on the Automatically and drag down to the OFF which will appear after clicking This should make IPv6 off . Click OK Then click Apply Now located at the bottom of the Network window Now try your banking problem HTH Bob Note : you may need initially to click the lock at the bottom and authenticate -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
