I have just tried that & it says " no operation can be carried out while media is disconnected" It is connected & enabled.

From router to pc i`ve only tried port 1 of 2. 50m of cable. I will try jukeboxes advice & if i bugger up my pc in doing so i shall go round to his house & throw a brick thru his window.:)

Thanks oM, i think i`ll buy a better ethernet cable. The ones i`ve tried are cat5 & cat 5e.

Pete, that`s far too complicated for my tiny brain. I did the d/l but that brought up 4 more icons & i wasn`t sure what to do.

Yes i did see that icon. I disabled the ethernet & then enabled it. Still no good.

Many happy gardening days Dave.

How can i get an ethernet cable to work? I`ve disconnected the wifi & enabled the ethernet but it`s not working. TIA.

I spent many a happy day there. Tried to walk through the tunnel to Witton park but chickened out after about 20 yards.

I seem to remember sticking something ? in the end of a bike pump & the air pressure would shoot it out. Anyone remember those foil papers from ciggie packets that we used to shape & then toss them up to the ceiling where they would stick ?

We used to play a game of pennies nearest the wall. Stand back about 10 feet & toss your coin towards the wall, nearest to the wall was the winner. A similar game was played with cigarette cards. We also had a make-shift boxing ring which was no fun for me when i was getting hammered by a girl (...

One of my earliest memories is walking across the frozen lake in Brookvale park. It was so cold with freezing fog. I can remember walking half way, but can`t remember getting to the other side. In my late teens i became homeless. Can`t remember why, but let me tell you sleeping rough is not much...

Jackie Charlton was a hunting & fisherman. Your mention of the glorious 12th reminded me of how sad it is to kill an animal for sport.

My feeble claim to fame was seeing Billy Fury making a film at Gatwick airport. Another feeble claim was being detained by East German police at Checkpoint Charlie, & was" rescued" by a very large Russian officer. Very embarrassing !

Born in Doidge road Erdington December 11th 1942, maybe in a Anderson shelter !

My first car ( apart from army ones ) was a Austin mini, reg 899 UP. As usual with British cars ( remember them ) the engine was ok but the bodywork soon deteriated into rust. I seem to remember the piston damper in the carburettor had to be topped up quite frequently. I now drive a Seat Ateca 2...

Pete, i used to fish with a couple of mates by the weir in Worcester. One lad caught a lovely salmon which he took home, which begs the question, is that stealing? I know if i caught a salmon (fat chance ) i wouldn`t throw it back.
