Hi Mike just regestered on your forum yesterday it's nice to see so many names I reconise from the other place and I need your help with a query.

I have just changed back to BT from talk talk I kept the same wireless router it's a Zyxel thing is computer still says conected to (My name talk talk) can I change it to read BT.

I'm not sure that I follow this because, when using a router, it is the router and not the PC which connects directly with the ISP. As the PC is getting its internet access over a Local Area Network connection it wouldn't normally show as "connected to" anything.

Having said that, I have never connected a computer to a router by USB which, I know, does involve installing software. If this is how you're connecting, can you connect by ethernet instead?

If you're connecting "wirelessly", is it perhaps the router's SSID (wireless network name) that you are seeing as "connected to"? You should be able to edit the SSID in the router's wireless settings.

Mike I have got it to say BT internet but unfortunately in brackets behind that it still says (talktalk) it's all working OK but I would like to be able to delete that name.

I'm still not quite sure where you are seeing this "Connected to" message. Is it a wireless connection with talktalk in brackets forming part of the router's SSID?

If the router was originally supplied by TalkTalk as part of a broadband package, it may have been customised for their service so that the reference to it cannot be removed.

If you bought the router independently, then it definitely must be removable.

Hi oldfogy if i hover the cursor over the icon next to speaker botom right it says currently connected to (****talktalk)
I can take a screen shot but I cannot paste it into the reply screen.
Thanks

To post a screenshot on forums you need to upload the image to a "hosting" site, once uploaded the site gives you a number of codes (url's) from which you use one and paste it into a reply on here.

You could use "preview" before posting your reply to check the code chosen has worked the way you wanted.
You can have the image embedded or a link for us to click on that takes us to your screenshot.

Image hosting is free and we all use the likes of PhotoBucket or ImageShack:

On Imageshack you don't even need to sign up just use the "browse" to find the screenshot on your pc, then hit upload.

PS, Peter are you using Vista?
Have you checked in Network and Sharing centre found in control panel, click on customise and see if this is the name your network has, if so rename your network.

Ok, that explains that it your modem/router that is displaying the info.
I thought it may of been on the "Top info bar above the toolbar"
Which (on mine) shows as: Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Which is a totally different thing.

Sorry but I can't help you, other than, if you are still stuck, pop over to:
http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?board=4.0
and have a word there (some very knowledgeable people)

As for posting a screen shot:-

Firstly I use: ScreenHunter 5.0 Free http://www.wisdom-soft.com/downloads/index.htm
Followed by: http://s92.photobucket.com
When you select your image file, chose the one that stats with: [IMG]http://
Paste it here, then preview it before Submit.

NOT: <a href="http://

thanks for all the replies I still can't get the screenshot to work I seem to be able to uplode it and paste it into a reply then if I click preview it shows a link not the actual screenshot, but then I click submit and it dosnt seem to appear in the thread. this is with imageshack.

Peter R

When you select your image file, chose the one that stats with:
IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l39/oldfogy/GTGrandad.gif[/IMG]

Like I said before, use the file starting with [IMG] as above but make sure you do not remove any of the square brackets.
However to be able to show the complete file name for Granddad, "I have removed the first bracket.

Although I suspect you may be choosing the wrong file name to start with.

The best thing to do is to copy and paste all of the various options so you can see which one works for you.

Thanks oldfogy I think I may have done it if this works

That's good (cause I was running out of suggestions)

Any idea what was going wrong, as it may also help someone else also having problems.

Thanks.
