ethernet router?
modem?
what?
Sorry yes, I did type it down, but then closed the page instead of sending so I was rushed to enter the poor info quickly.
Originally was a Router... A TalkTalks own jobbie.
Then a Sagem USB Modem
Then a Voyager 105
Back to a router.
All show the very same... They connect just fine. but IE or FF simply tell me that the Web Page is unavailable etc, nothing will update, yet the Status is showing that plenty of Data is going both ways.
Pings fine too! - confucious he say stuff it and get a different supplier.

try a different machine, can u ping by domain name? Try entering IP of site into browser.
Different Machine was not an option at the time.
We have decided that the most likely problem could simply be that the supplier of the computer had piled it up with junk and while I have removed what I can, there is no way I can remove it all without an F&R so thats what the next option is to be.
While the PC was only bought in for XMAS, oyud think that there was nothign much on there, but they have tried a fair number of different Internet settings... The TalkTalk is the one and only BroadBand option, however, they also have such nasties in the system as Norton, as well as AVG, and 3 different Firewalls... While I have leveled this down, the issues still remained and so an F&R is what I will do next before I do anything!!!
I think the Router is still going to retain its settings even though its a nasty, its still a router, and I am hoping for that to just connect without any troubles once it gets plugged into the PC through the LAN.
If it still gives us greif then there MUST be an issue with the ISP because the cables have all been swapped over, a number of times with a number of different cables might I add, so I realyl cannot say whats next after that? - Maybe the PC is just incompatile with TalkTalk???
