    Accessing bridge: one laptop can, the other can't

    OK, this must have something to do with changing various network settings. When I originally set up my bridge, which I accidentally set to router, I did so on laptop #1. All ok until after an hour when #1 stopped allowing access to the router's IP. Sometimes the page would say 'connecting' or...

    I've successfully built my site to look and work in FF latest and IE7 and 6. All was ok on my larger Dell and other desktops but I've just checked my layout in IE7 on my netbook (where 600px is maximum screen height) and my menu and buttons have dropped by about 50px down and 20px to the right...

    Good morning, I connect to the internet via a hotspot with WEP security enabled. The code changes every two weeks and I have the latest log-on details but I have no control over the router.
