Hmm, the words "BT" and "Broadband" in conjunction with each other in the
same sentence should be enough of a clue to get you started.

I suspect BT are to blame but they are trying to pass the buck and say it is
an IE issue

Try a different browser to see if IE is to blame.

Strange reply. Or did you think that 30 mins was enough time for him to get back?

Tell us what you have to do to get it going again. That might throw up some
clues as to what is happening.

Does anything else work, ie. email - after - the browser stops working ?

It might be a USB port issue, where it looks sync`d but the port has
powered itself down.

If nothing else works, but a reboot resolves the issue, the odds are its
USB related I bet :-}

Scott, to test this theory, pop open a command window (Start/Run,
"CMD") then at the C: prompt try, for example


ping www.wizards.co.uk

and

ping 217.146.99.22

If the second one works but the first one doesn't then you are having
a DNS lookup problem, which is one of the most common causes of IE (or
other browser) failing to find the web page you've asked for.

A further test you can run is to use a different browser. Mozilla
Firefox is much nicer than Internet Exploder anyway, though you need
to keep IE around for the few sites that don't work properly in
Firefox.

www.mozilla.org

Then you might consider switching ISPs to one who can help with this
sort of a problem! :-)

Most of those will work perfectly well if you add the User Agent
Switcher extension to Firefox which makes Firefox appear to be IE. Most
of the problems are because the web page writer has blocked anything
that doesn't look like its IE.
