My dear mother (80) has an ACER laptop, purchased this year.
This is connected to her broadband, with a DLink wireless ADSL router modem. The plug in usb adaptor is not used, lower flag page will say signal strength excellent. One wall in between, router and pooter: range ten metres
On powering up the computer may or may not find
- the server.The this page is unavaliable will appear.
- or open her home page which is Google.
- or the mail which is outlook express.
Sometimes she opens outlook to download messages, with normal function. But if after having composed an email : sending the mail seems to stay in the outbox because the server cannot be found.
In addition the little icon of a radiating antenna will disappear from the lower bar that has start.
But power down then restart and the computer, will send or ask
shall it send.
It has had a new hard drive and the same problems existed before.
This has baffled me and others for too long.
I don't really want to lay a piece of Cat five cable as it could cause trip ups.
Kind regards
