Re: BT HomeHub Networking Woes

["u7412ay" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Checking my home hub it hasn't been re-started for a couple of weeks
and the firmware is an old release so doesn't look like anything has
changed.

I am looking more towards some sort of windows update for introducing it as
my 2 laptops are exhibting the problem and are both patched up to date but
the wife's still works fine and she is a bit hit and miss at patching.

Regards
Allan

This is a Home Hub V1.  Has been happening for a couple of days. Will try a
wired connection tonight. To get round it I added a local hosts file on my
laptop for my home machine IP addresses which I specified as fixed through
the hub.
