My phpBB is way out of date, so I'll update it and see if that is a permanent fix IP Blacklisted I am trying to post on an existing phpBB forum. I am actually the administrator of the forum, but I am getting this "Your IP xx.xxx.xx.x has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=xx.xxx.xx.x." I have x'd out the atuall IP, but it is my Virgin Media IP. Reading the pages at the link it seems to relate to SMTP mail servers, but I'm not sending an email, and my email client is working fine . Andrew SolvedRe: Router to PC speed low Thank you for the responses. I've been checking this periodically. Some times the Hub to PC speed is good, other times it's poor. This morning The test resulted in 1154 Hub, and only 295 PC to Hub. I restarted in Safe Mode and got 1146 and 948 which is great. Strangely after rebooting again as normal, the speed were back to normal too ie 1196 and 948. So it does seem intermittent as tho there is something going on in the back ground. Router to PC speed low Recently upgraded to 1Gb service. When testing using Realspeed the router download speed checks out at 1152, but the speed to the PC is only 507. The PC is hard wired to the router and is only 1m away with a short cable. The PC network card is a 1Gb card. Why the difference ? Andrew
