INFO: CURRENTLY PROBLEMS WITH NEW FORUMS POSTS
Arh - I wasn't expecting to be able to view/edit this post!
Seems it's just some new posts...! :¬)
UPDATE:
Might as well change the title of this for Sonic Chris - I'm sure Freeola will correct the new posts issue if it still exists.

You can connect. Right?
Have you got firewall/anti-virus running? ... Are they configured to allow access?
Have you tried access without firewall/anti-virus ie disabled?
If you are running Nod32, then dump it and then try access :-)
Just a few suggestions....

Well we were using PC Guard on the old PC, but according to the internet, there won't be a windows 7 version until February 2010? (is this correct?) so at the moment, we're having to use the free 60 day trial of Norton that came with it (know it's rubbish, but would rather have some protection than none ;P)

I see that you can now post, so the problem doesn't exist now?
PC Guard is provided by Virgin, so you must have been or are a Virgin Media customer for broadband, it comes with the package doesn't it? Had a run in with it in the Diamond Cable/NTL days, personally didn't think much to it.
As for 'protection' - you can always use the free editions of Zone Alarm (firewall) and the new AVG (anti-virus) - both are ok with Windows 7. But then again, there may be others on the forum that use other applications which they may recommend. :-)

Do you mean as in who's your ISP???
If you run a speedtest here you'll get a clue: http://speedtest.net/
Freeola show up as "ISP: Entanet International Ltd".
Or look to see who you're paying!
As for Anti Virus - I can recommend Microsoft's new free Security Essentials.
In another thread you mentioned 'Banking Security' was a priority.
None of the basic AV programs will help you here. Anti-Phishing is built in to modern browsers but mostly 'Banking Security' is down to the user educating themselves to safe online practices.

Well we have a complete virgin package, we just don't know how to get PC Guard on this new computer (apparently, windows 7 version is out next february) and in regards to my posting problem, i can post fine, but i can't create new threads :( So no reviews or anything from me until i find the problem. I sent Warhunt a message that included the error message i got.
Anyway, i'll have a go at that speedtest and see who it comes up with.
