    What package did you buy, we have freeserve broadband, my dad first bought a package with a modem (i think thats what it is called) and it was all wrong, so he took it bk and got a different type of modem

    Hmm, am not sure on the names either, my dad just rang up the freeserve helpline and they told him that this particular modem was no good for our pc

    sometimes there is a conflict between connections.... best thing to do would be to uninstall freeserve for the time being, when your line is activated, reinstall it, and remove the shite from BT.....should solve the problem.

    If it doesnt...well who cares, u only got a few days anyway :p

    I've heard of this b4. Is your pc a bit old? you'll need to upgrade your BIOS. My mate had the exact same problem - BT eventually advised him to get the BIOS upgrade for his PC which sorted it.
