    Dear goombawaho "This is a favour for a friend who is in a poor financial position and cannot replace an aging PC - otherwise I'd have it crushed!" is the key to answering this question for you. ;-)

    I hope this is the correct thread! Strange problem (or strange to me anyway) MS IE6 can access MSN's home page and its contents but not google.co.uk or youtube or anything googlish. Wireless connection to BT Infinity Broadband on a Compaq computer using a Netgear 111 wireless dongle. It says...
