Stupid interweb

[Redder Lurtz]

I've just gone wireless and for some reason (not often, just on the odd site - in this case the National Rail Enquiries site) I get the little 'You must connect to the internet' window pop up. Then I click 'connect' and it times out. Even though I'm already connected. It's twisting my melon, man.

Iny ideas, nerds?

When it's saying that, do other sites still work?

Wrong kind of leaves on your router.

Is this only when you open up a new browser window? Maybe your computer is set to force connect to the internet every time you open a browser?

"Never Dial a connection"?

Yeah. Although when I click on a link on the original site I was on a small window appears with a 'connect' button which I click and it just works without showing the dialup window or anything.

Er, don't know. How would I find out?

Talktalk? No. Is that a setting of some kind?

in internet explorer go to tools>internet options>connections and make sure the option to never dial a connection is highlighted.
