« on: May 13, 2006, 10:23 AM »

I need to set up several websites for my family-I have never done it before!! As I need to do multiple domains I am looking a resellers hosting packages. I have found 2 that seem to have everything I want including scripts www.lunarpages.com and www.dream-hosting.co.uk. I am favouring www.lunarpages.com as it seems to have extensive support.

Does anyone have any experience of these web hosting companies?? Or any other hosting services??

I am setting a website for NHS patients in the UK purely as a free service to patients to provide information on patient confidentiality.

If anyone would like to comment on the website for example layout, content, how easy it is to understand please feel free to PM me.  I need to set up very quickly as I want it to coincide with Sir Trevor MacDonalds "Tonight" programme that will be broadcast on the 22nd May.

Living Room / Selecting group of messages/Mail Ticker The BAT

« on: January 08, 2006, 01:46 PM »

I am playing around with The Bat and trying to tidy up my Inbox. How do I select a batch of messages to delete. I have a group of 173 messages that need deleting.

Secondly I can't find the Mail Ticker everyone talks about. What does it do? I have The Bat Professional from the discount on this forum.

Also if anyone has any ideas how to do delete that account that I posted about I would most grateful.

I may ultimately have to email support but thought I would try posting here first. I have tried Help and FAQ but I think I am missing something.

Found Deals and Discounts / Free Netveda Firewall

« on: January 08, 2006, 11:03 AM »

I have discovered a free firewall for home use www.netveda.com. It is brilliant, well at least I think so!! It is highly configurable much better than my previous Kaspersky one. You can even limit the amount of time your children are the Net not that I have any!! I have done numerous Firewall leak tests and it blocks everything. It has a very small footprint and works brilliant alongside my www.eset.com Antivirus. This is the best combination for Antivrus and a Firewall I have found.

General Software Discussion / Bat question

« on: January 07, 2006, 02:20 PM »

I have 2 IMAP email accounts set up in The Bat that I want to delete. It has let me delete one but not the other one. The account in question has a line drawn under the name account name and I cannot do anything whatsoever at all for example connect to the server. I have tried removing the The Bat programme and making sure I have deleted all the files in uninstallation but still this account reappears when I reinstall the account.

Anyone any ideas?

Living Room / Wireless question

« on: December 29, 2005, 08:02 AM »

I want to make my 1 year old laptop wireless. I know I need a modem and router. I have 2mpbs broadband  connection with external BT Voyager USB ADSL Modem. My ISP in the UK is BT Yahoo.   But do I need a laptop card or am I already wireless? My laptop is a Parkard Bell Easynote C3300.   The networking ports say SIS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter and WAN Miniport 16. 

I am very confused!!!
