Just logging on as can't sleep - rather annoyingly in the process of being made redundant! As such, my problem is more acute - I'm going to need my internet connection at home. I'd really appreciate some help. I'm currently on my work machine which is having no problem at all accessing the...

Seems very odd - sometimes the network is accessible, sometimes not. Always shows as an 'excellent' signal, WPA key is definitely right (else it wouldn't connect, right?) and ipod picks up the network perfectly. Have moved devices closer to each other, changed channels, removed obstacles -...

LoneWolf_53 and others - thanks so much for your help. A friend came over and used fixing the computer as a displacement activity meaning he didn't have to look after the kids!
