My next trick for getting (and staying) in here

[SarzWix]

I just wanted to say thank you to you both - Piskie for persisting in trying to get on the Vine, we love you and miss you when you aren't here

And TEB you are a complete star for trying to solve this, we love you too

[piskieinboots]

When you log into the vine do you have it set to remember you

Yes, always - cos I am lazy

...Then there is the amount of RAM on your PC and the amount free.

we did the ping pong game, seems I am 'waiting-for-the-roast-to-cook' return from Vine. Space/Ram etc is pretty huge

This may be crazy but if i was in your position Piskie i would run 2 computors with vista on 1 and XP on tother with both computors running through one monitor through a change over switch ....

I'm very close to that one

TEB - how odd is this! there is no reference to Vine in there at all, not once in any shape or form and there is plenty other stuff in there

It has to be in there, I just checked here and a cookie is created when you browse to the vine, you are not looking via the bottom of the vodka glass

It has to be in there, ...

Now that is very strange unless you are blocking cookies, can you in IE go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced > is Override Automatic cookie handling checked.

NG - I'm on IE, I have (previously) tried Firefox etc, didn't make any difference, sadly

have you tried google chrome??

We could put an entry into the Host file, this file maps hostnames to IP address so we would map Grow Your Own Magazine - GYO Growing & How To Grow Vegetables tomatoes & fruit from your garden - Tips on Growing to its IP address of 212.227.55.26 but could you do a ping of Grow Your Own Magazine - GYO Growing & How To Grow Vegetables tomatoes & fruit from your garden - Tips on Growing first, to do this go to Start > Accessories > right click command prompt and select run as administrator > when command prompt opens type at the cursor:
ping Grow Your Own Magazine - GYO Growing & How To Grow Vegetables tomatoes & fruit from your garden - Tips on Growing > press enter
Can you paste the output here, I am particularly interested in the times, this way we can check to see if what was done previously has had any affect.
PS the vine changes the URL address on posting, so you need to change what the vine has underlined to its web address

I've managed to avoid Vista so far, but have 'dual boot' XP and 98 (hardly ever use 98, but did when partition was created). 98 uses 'drive C', XP uses 'drive D', but can access files stored on C no problem. 98 cannot access D at all.......

OK TEB - I am going to try this on two different machines, one with XP, one with Vista, both running out of the same hub (at the moment)

Here is first result:

OMG that is even worse than the first time, I would like you to check what state auto tuning is, remember we disabled this but I am wondering if it has reset it self, you need to open a command prompt (run as administrator), can you then type this "netsh interface tcp show global" without the quotes > press Enter, can you copy the outut please.

and the result is....
