that a lot of the regulars that come on here must get really annoyed with plebs like me posting the same problems over and over again. ive honestly tried making sense of what it is you have to do if a firewall is blocking you from connecting, but i cant, im an electrician and not some computer whiz. i dont understand what ram or routers or any of that shite is. from what i can gather though. tiscali (which is who i get my internet from) are a right set of twats that a putting this firewall in place. my years nearly up with them so is the best thing to do join another company? if so which one? whilst im here though, anyone got any tips they want to share with me, in plain english though please. thanks.
