Thanks Davy. I'll just need to work out the wiring first, there are a lot or wires in there (old late 60's 70's era circuit). BTW am I right in assuming the halogens are dimmable (for future reference)?

OK, not sure about Macs really, but there should be software for your network adapter/MIDI card installed. The first thing to do is check to see if you can see the router. If so, check the signal strength when looking at you router. It's likely to be one of these I think. To see if the broadband...

Hi all, I am replacing my old (tasteless) ceiling lights in my hallway and living room. I am planning to install energy saving bulbs at the same time, but the two ceiling lights in the living room have dimmer switches. Is it possible to use energy saving bulbs with these? I would assume not, as...

Does it try to connect and if so what is the error message?

How about using a standard network cable to connect your laptop to the broadband box? Or doesn't it have enough ports?

This could be nearly anything, depending on your setup. Do you have a (broadband?) modem connected directly to your PC? Is this connected directly to your phone socket? Or are you connecting using a wireless network adaptor to a router? Depending on your setup it could be: 1) Your computer...

The IP for your laptop is it's network IP (not the same as the internet IP) and you have a network connection to your router which is what connects to the internet. Therefore you need to specify your router's internet IP. You should be able to find this by going into the software for your router...

Hi all, I am planning to do a lot of DIY work to my place which I got late last year. I downloaded this 3D modelling package for free and I have done a full to-scale 3D model of my place! I can really recommend it, it is very easy to use. Now I can plan moving walls, carpet/flooring and wall...

Thanks, I will contact the supplier to make sure!

Thanks, I can read 3 rates (day, night and total) from a single digital display. However there appears to be a seperate white meter with a time resprictor on it. Maybe I'll take a picture of the fuseboard tonight and post it. It's a bit of a mess in there!

Did you have a seperate white meter as well though? Can anyone confirm or deny? BTW I'm not sure it's a good idea to leave your dishwasher etc. on while you're asleep, as there is a danger of fire. The chance is quite small, but still...

Hi all, I have seen various different posts and information on other sites and there seems to be conflicting information on this. I have just moved into a place with an economy 7, which has a white meter i.e. separate circuit. My question is this: Is all the electricity I use during the...

Don't get me started. I dread to think what they have cost over the years! I meant cheaper than other suppliers though.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what I need, cheers for the help. Quite a bit cheaper than what I've been looking at as well.

Hi all, this is my first post :D I've just found this forum and it looks pretty useful, especially as I'll be doing LOADS of DIY on the house I've just bought. Anyway, my girlfriend has more shoes than Imelda Marcos and there's a ridiculously shallow fitted "closet" in one of the rooms so I...
