I had the problem last evening ~ for about 6 hours couldn't connect to anything.
Router was fine, problem was between router and internet ..... BT perhaps?
It cured itself at about 10pm.
Everything is working fine today.

Also check if any updates have gone in last night - they can be known to play havoc and you should uninstall them one by one to see if it makes a difference.

Everything was down here all day yesterday... Perhaps it is related...?  rubschin:

I went to the shop today to get my broadband moved from one phone line to another... Can't do that apparently, you have to order new broadband then take the old equipment back and cancel the other...  ::)

I was sitting in front of the assistant in the shop, having filled all the forms in when she starts running around the shop picking up a new modem, handful of ADSL filters, a big instruction manual and a mahoosive carrier bag to take it away in...

The only problem was I was sitting there in my leathers and clutching my crash helmet...  noooo:

My life becomes more Nickesque by the day...

Still something wrong  noooo:

I phoned up the line provider earlier; "All broadband services are working fine" says the auto message before I get to speak to someone... who then tells me their systems are down and to try again tomorrow  eeek:

So, how do you know all broadband services are working well, then, eh?   noooo:

A check round the village internet community reveals that I was not alone last evening. 6 different people suffered similar problems. 2 use BT Broadband. 1 uses Sky, 1 uses Tiscali, I use Telecom Plus and the last contact uses Talk Talk. The only common factor therefore is the local exchange ~ who hotly deny that they had any problems, despite yesterday's high winds and the evidence of our eyes today with several BT Engineers climbing up telegraph poles all over the village. All ISPs have said they had no major problems with their servers but our mixed bag of contacts across the internet world have complained of service failures in various locations in the UK that most believe are due to BT lines and the weather.
