This is *very* interesting indeed as I have been experiencing exactly the same problems that you describe (unable to connect, drop-outs aplenty, and sluggish menu behaviour) and I too am with PlusNet. I think I'll be seeking an alternative ISP unless they improve their service (what with all the Tiscali crap that's been happening lately in the exchanges). AlanF, if you can educate me as to exactly what we need to hassle PlusNet with I will happily contact them too ... I guess the more customers they have requesting that specific ports are removed from the traffic-shaping policies then they may actually listen ... well, here's hoping!! 8) Cheers, Gavin -- Gavster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gavster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8300 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27977 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
