If anyone can give us any clue here. Here is the full story.

Sony Vaio working grand in Killarney. Came home and it wont connect. Mine fine so its not the internet.

I pinged his laptop and his can ping mine sucessfully. If you go to the bottom right and go to the network sharing centre the connection goes from none to internet access all the time. At no time can we access a page.

He shows them what nuggets are made of and asks if they'd still eat them.British Kids "no way Olly",Yank kids "hell yeah,gimme that good shit".Lol.

Has it picked up some proxy setting or fixed ip address from the network in Killarney?

Edit: Or conversely, should the laptop have a specific ip address at home, and it doesn't any more?

I checked it against my laptop that didn't go to Killarney.The proxy settings are all the same and we didn't put a fixed IP address into it. The only thing that was done was a profile was saved on it. But I removed that along with a few others that had been on it (My folks in Scotland etc)

So you can't ping anything external to the network through the wireless. Is it working fine through the cable?

[LuckyLloyd]

I was wrong. LuckyLloyd was right. That is all.

Is anyone else checking back just to see if Lloyd has posted yet?

I happen to hate that I was right. But really, the people saying 'give Hodgson a chance' obviously have not been watching the games. Yesterday's result was a shock because of the respective traditions and expectations that surround each club - but on the basis of how each has been playing, it really wasn't THAT surprising that Liverpool struggled.

All of those are valid points but losing to Blackpool at home still should not happen.

This is clearly something the manager wants and has been evident every time I have watched Liverpool this season and its bollocks. Just as blaming everything on Hodgson is stupid not seeing his part in what has happened this season is equally retarded.

That comment obviously references the tactical approach employed by Hodgson. Deliberately sitting off teams like Blackpool and Northampton at home really blows my fucking mind.

He should do the honourable thing and walk. Just looking at him rooted to his seat in the dug out yesterday as the game slipped away said it all tbh.

Such a disaster Richie. I just can't figure it out at all. I did 2 system restores to before i went to Killarney and checked all settings with no joy. Gill been trying to hours so thanks for your help with this. She's slogging away now with it connecting through the ethernet and trying to get it sorted for me

Its been coming for a few years now even under Rafa. I still think losing that top4 bet to you a couple of seasons ago was a very bad beat.

[Jackyback]

Does anyone have any good links for the golf so I can watch it in work.

[LuckyLloyd]

I mean, they achieved more points in the Premiership that season than Liverpool ever did. You can call it a bad beat, but it wasn't a close run thing.

It's fine working through the cable. I went in there and reset the tcp/ip since I could do it through a microsoft fix bypassing the admin problem. Rebooted and it looked ok, said I had internet access again. Took off cable and it was off again.

Went into the eircom router and did a reset there, still no change.

Tonys machine cannot ping anything outside the home network. So frustrating, was doing this till late last night and been at it again this morning. Was going to call eircom but My laptop and the two itouch can go on the wireless no problem..

This is the troubleshoot error..

if I was on x million a year and doing a shite job, there's no way you'd get me to resign voluntarily.

Hodgson will have to be sacked (and paid off) if you're to get rid of him.

The question is then what nonentity would be silly enough to take the job on?

I think Hodgson is the sort of character that if he felt he wasn't up to it he would have empathy for the financial situation and walk. I doubt he's anywhere near that state of mind yet though!

Okay I can't commit a lot of time to it as I have stuff being repaired and customers coming in/out to the shop but plug the cable in, stick team viewer on it and pm here or on fb with the id and password and I'll log on remotely to see if I can do anything for you.

[Wreck]

clusterfuck from start to finish. tiny corridors behind the south stand make it a rough experience finding your way to seats after a five storey stairs climb. Tiny path to seats made me already realise getting out of here was going to be messy.The Announcer guy they have from spin is the most tilit-inducing bastard of all time. He actually introduced the songs he was playing, and stripped the crowd of the opportunity to develop any atmosphere by forcing them into specific chants etc. They did this horrible gimmick where they show a blank jersey on the screen, and the louder the crowd roar the more of the leinster jersey will be revealed. except it was blatantly rigged, and the crowd just gave up as soon as it was full. They BLARED in music and ads, allowing no singing from the crowd, and then showed a 5 minute video of Leinster tries. He then introduced the munster team, and as they took to the pitch he stuck on Molly Malone (may have been an attempt to psych them out, but it was in very poor taste, its a rugby game, and respect for the travelling opposition is tradition, if they pulled that shit in thomond park i'd be complaining too.). Then when Leinster took to the pitch they fired off fireworks and blinded the audience with a thick smoke for the first 5-10 minutes of the game.

At half time, no let up, he talked his head off the whole way through, doing shout outs for 21st birthdays and the like. Again, blared in stuff like Dizzee Rascal Bonkers, and ruined the chance of any banter or singsong. crowd came back quiet and bored. Full time, and they TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF IN THE STADIUM to show off their fancy blue beams across the pitch, what a terrible safety hazard. They then brought the Leinster team out for a lap of honour. I'm sure that wasnt their idea. I saw people trip and fall on steps. took maybe 15-20 minutes to get outside the stadium, where the crowd control after going under the underpass nearly caused a riot. People around me were panicking and using inhalers and the like in the thick crush. we were merging with the main road from the right hand side, but the crowd control had decided people should walk on the left of the road, so everyone had to cross across the crowd coming the other way. Stewards aborted a crowd barrier system they had in place and moved it to the side of the road. took about 40 minutes to get out of the crush to be able to walk normally.

Whole thing just stank of a very classless and amateur run event.

I agree with a lot of this, the announcer is seriously annoying and the music during the game has to stop, it's absolutely bent. Trying to get a drink at half time was a joke, the bar staff were so disorganised and slow. Turning the lights out at the end of the game was just insane. The crush on Lansdowne Road was a total disgrace, 40 minutes to walk 100 yards and there didn't appear to be any reason for the delay. I was just delighted I got through the underpass before getting stuck. Would definitely not have enjoyed that.

Outside of all that, I think the actual stadium is pretty nice, was quite impressed. And a deserved Leinster win obviously made up for a lot of the other shite, although if things don't improve Saturday could end up being the highlight of a very mediocre season.

[The Situation]

Just looking at the Ireland squad for the up coming euro internationals and I've never been more pesimistic about our chances before. I don't think our legendary fighting spirit will even see us through this time.

Most of the team seems to be struggling for Premiership starting places or languishing in championship mediocrity and not even starting there in Kilbanes case. Of the ever reliables Given can't be at his sharpist, Dunne has been struggling with injuries and his weight by the looks of things and got owned by Van der Vahrt at the weekend, Duff can't be match fit either and Keane relies on being played week in week out which he isn't been. Hard to see were the goals will come from, Doyle is excellant at what he does but has a pretty poor goal scoring record!

Trap doesnt seem to want to blood the capable younger players and I think his stubborness will be our undoing in this campeign. I'd be surprised if we pick up more than a point from the two games, and I'm never usually this negative
about our prospects!

I wouldnt mind a call up for Carr to be honest.
He's been brilliant this season for Birmingham

who finds it a bit strange to hear British, middleclass, UKIP/TORY voting, Daily Mail reading, France/Germany hating golf club members cheering "Europe Europe" once every 2 years

[Sledgejammer]

He's retired. Though he also retired from football full stop and came back, so could maybe be persuaded. I'd certainly be on the phone if I was Trapp.

And I am coming to disagree with a few decisions he makes especially in relation to what little promising young blood we have coming through the ranks, but we're still a very tough team to beat under him and play rigidly to a system that see's us do quite well despite our woeful lack of talent, however it really is depressing looking at our line up and their respective positions in club football atm alright. Joey Ndo is surely eligible for an Irish passport at this stage!? And he has nearly as much world cup experience as our entire country...

Yeah ive only seen him in highlight form and he looks promising. Saying that I thought the same about Coleman but I've seen him play in full a couple of times and despite his attacking capabilities, he's very very naive positionally and has a lot of work to do to be an international standard defender!

Hopefully the days are gone where we just blindly copy the Brits

They have to do something on Child Benefit for the middle classes though; given the fiscal arithmetic they can't leave it untouched. Whether this translates into an attack on universality (either through taxing CB or else by means-testing) or else a blanket cut in CB rates remains to be seen.

Expect the usual whingers to be all over Joe Duffy either which way

[TomD]

I genuinely dont understand how that's honourable.

I think Hodgson is the sort of character that if he felt he wasn't up to it he would have empathy for the financial situation and walk

Based on what?


Also, are Liverpool a model for what Manchester Utd will become in a few years if they are not continuosly successful on the pitch?

IVE seen plenty of Coleman
& No you're right, he is not an International yet (better than some ahead of him though), I would consider playing him against the weaker opposition where he can just bomb forward


He is a bit Glen Johnson, bit dodgy at the back, needs to be coming onto the ball in space so not a right sided midfielder at moment

He can improve both though, as Sligo only picked him up at ~17 and he has come on leaps & bounds with every game, so he is sorta younger than his age (if that makes sense?)

At the moment, id play him as a DMR in football manager if I was you

[The Situation]

Based on what?

Just think he's a decent guy. He's always given very honest and accurate appraisals of his own performances going back to his Inter days, and he's not one to pass on blame to others like a lot of managers do! I'm not saying he's going to do it anytime soon and could be very wrong, but I reckon he'll do the right thing by the club if he feels he's not the right man for the job for whatever reason!

[max_power]

BBV advice needed.

Over in Oz at the moment, the girlfriend just checked her Irish bank account to find out that AXA decided to renew her car insurance while we were away. She rang and sent a letter before leaving to make sure this didn't happen but they say they have no record of the letter and it's pretty much tough shit, any recourse?
