OK, can you give me somemore info and do a couple of tests.
What version of Windows are you using?
What Browser(Internet Explorer or Firefox). If its IE, can you download Firefox from
www.mozilla.org and try that one to eliminate the browser.
What ISP are you conecting through
Dial up or broadband?
Can you open a MSDos command prompt and type 'ping www.ebay.co.uk' Do you get a response? If not what error (not found or timeout?)
