We finally have a network on our computers. The moment that the laptop actually logged on at the same time as the desktop was a good one. The fact that the moment was well after midnight diluted it a bit, but still, it's done. So now James can surf as I do, which will be fun...not.

I've also found a way to use Google. It's complicated and the actual google URL doesn't work but I can use it via the BT home page. It's not the same, I love Google so much, but it'll have to do for now.

We went to the fireworks last night which was cool. It was also freezing and blowing a gale but I like fireworks so put up with it.

In a way it was a shame that we went out as I was writing well. Did 4 pages of The End which is more than I've managed in weeks, and a story for [livejournal.com profile] sentinel_thurs The advice I got, which simplified is 'stop stressing and listening to other people and just write' worked *G* It's mostly dialogue which isn't my strongest point, so I'll be throwing it out to the ever patient betas soon.

I wonder why you can't get to search engines? Can you get to other URLs?

I've no idea. I can get to any site if I type it into the address bar, but if I try Google I get a page saying the site's not there. I can get to Yahoo's main page but if I try the search function I get a page not found. After trying loads of search engines I finally got Dog Pile to work. It's okay but it's no Google :(

I thought it might be something to do with the security levels but I tweaked them for ages and nothing doing.

You running XP, right? And you still can't get to Google? I'll ask my friend, he's been running XP since it came out. Just let me know.

Yeah I am. The page still won't load and it's really annoying me now. I just installed my old computer that runs ME at my sister's house and Google works fine there.

So any help would be great, because I've ran out of ideas.
