Spoke to a friend on Monday and he said he would come up later this week. He's pretty good at sorting stuff out.
Had massive, major problems wit hit yesterday, did a forced shut down a couple of times, as it just wouldn't even think about turning off or even turning on.
Gave up again this morning, but wowser, all perfect now
No idea how/why. Can only think some-one was messing about with the lines somewhere. We have fibre optic as far as a couple of kilometres away, just not connected to anything. Makes me think they were doing something with that.
