Hi - I know you post is some time ago - did you ever get an answer to this please? Are you using V7 by any chance?? Because I get this problem and Easyspace don't seem to be able to help!

Have you tried the settings provided in the post linked to above?
If you have and you still have problems then I think you should consider a different host.

[Mike Hughes]

Steve, will you ever stick to one thread so we can help you sort out your problem?

All this jumping about and posting in different threads is just wasting everyone's time.

All you need to do is follow the help and suggestions that people here are giving you and report back if you still have difficulty.

Sorry guys - I am just not used to it. I will do better. I have just added to the thread (I think) having tried all that Easyspace suggest and what you and your colleagues have told me but unfortunately to no avail. I have also tried the parameters above.

Time to move hosts then i'm afraid, they have a sketchy history with actinic at best anyway, so a good idea.

[highbridgesb]

Thanks- I guess you are right. Just a waste of time and money. Do you have any favourites? I have identified a few that appear to be OK.

Steve

[leehack]

You should choose the easiest IMO and thus actinic's own hosting seems to fit the bill.

[highbridgesb]

I wonder if you have come across a firm called Inventive Hosting. They will give a free trial and not charge if it doesn't work so they say. I'll probably give them a go. Steve

[leehack]

Is reverse psychology with you a good idea? if so please make sure you go with Inventive hosting.

[highbridgesb]

Hiya - obviously you know something about them that I don't??

[leehack]

No, never heard of them myself. I guess that's the point, we'll have another 6 threads and 13 replies asking for help setting up network settings on a host few if anyone has ever heard of. Go for a mainstream host with settings already in the forum, it's clearly not an area of great knowledge for you.

[highbridgesb]

Thanks - I am learning. Although my trade has been ICT, it hasn't been with internet - but with mainframes and associated - so I have been floundering somewhat. I appreciate your advice though.

Steve

[leehack]

Go mainstream, maximum help from the maximum number of users possible. There is so many better things to spend time on than network settings, it literally should be a 5 min job maximum. You dont even have to ask on the forum if you choose mainstream, there will be at least 10 threads on the subject with the correct settings contained within.
