My next trick for getting (and staying) in here

[TEB]

and the result is....

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface tcp show global
Querying active state...
TCP Global Parameters
----------------------------------------------
Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
Chimney Offload State : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : highlyrestricted
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : none
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled

Aha its as I thought, Auto Tuning has changed back to highly restricted,

In the command prompt can you type:
netsh interface tcp SET HEURISTICS DISABLED > press Enter then type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled > press Enter >
then reboot computer and test, fingers crossed and good luck

netsh interface tcp SET HEURISTICS DISABLED > press Enter then type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled > press Enter >
then reboot computer and test, fingers crossed and good luck

it said 'not found' to the first command - but ok to the second?

I'm just rebooting now - don't wait up

That was quick,
can you do this one again in a command prompt (run as administrator) type this "netsh interface tcp show global" without the quotes > press Enter, can you copy the outut please.

Morning Piskie,

Thats a bit of a mean machine , just need to take mutley out for his morning walk, will be back in about an hour, there is a few things that we can try still.

[TEB]

Piskie,
Can you export your cookies from Internet Explorer, this can be done by clicking on File > Import and Export > NEXT > select Export Cookies > NEXT > export to a file (you might want to save it to your Desktop > NEXT > Finish. Then close and restart IE > login to Vine > close and reopen IE > go to Tools > Internet Options > select Settings under Browser History > View Files > can you see a cookie from @growfruitandveg.co.uk

[piskieinboots]

Just went to do first bit (export cookies etc) and noticed there was only 33 in there as opposed to yesterday when there was >1100?

I logged out of Vine and got this message (which I have never noticed before) All cookies cleared!

So that's why there aren't any relating to Vine in my cookies file - awaiting next directive

[TEB]

So is there a cookie from the vine in the cookie list now

PS I am assuming you are using IE7 and not IE8

[piskieinboots]

no cookie- not even a blinking chocolate cake!! IE7 - yes

[TEB]

Curiouser and curiouser!
Do you use any spyware blocking software, maybe inbuilt with your Anti Virus
