I've asked my siblings.... they seem to be having the same
problems as well (we all share the home wireless network).
If this keeps up, I'll contact SingNet tomorrow.... not that I
expect their next-to-useless customer service to come up with a
proper solution, of course.
In any case, my cranky old laptop is in need of a total
reformatting. Just have to bear with it for one more year until I
can get afford a sexy young customised gaming desktop.
