Just wondered (sorry if it's been asked before recently), but is anyone else having problems connecting to MSN using either Grapevine or Parmesan? I keep getting an error saying "Connection to MSN server lost".
Any ideas what's wrong? I asked paul if he's been mean and blocked the port, but he denies any such activity!
I have had problems connecting to the News server as they block the port for, (apparently, or at least so it would seem), a few hours each day. Could this be part of the same problem? I'm ever so lonely without it so please help!

Hi Louie,
MSN is working fine here via Grapevine.

Use a wireless bridge or another router in access mode (as you may already have one).

Use 2 Homeplugs - one connected to your Orpheus router and the other other to your computer - connection via electrical mains and secure.I find 14 Mbps fast enough.

You mean you don't use Orpheus? O-)

Try wireless - it's a lot less messy than cable running.

I used to find after using one of my older Nokia mobiles for more then a few minutes, my brain used to feel like it had just been microwaved!

My problem with Homeplugs is that they pack up, wot is a tad expensive, so I've reverted to wireless.

Blimey. How do you know what microwaving your brain feels like?

You keep thinking you can hear a repeated 'Pinging'
