Whoopeee!

I'm finally rid of Tiscali and their evil-smelling underpantsness!

Horrible, horrible little ISP that they are. If any of your friends or relatives are considering joining them, I suggest a little gentle persuasion with a baseball bat. With a rusty nail through the end. Slow death through internal injuries and tetanus would be a holiday camp compared to being locked into a Tiscali contract.

I'll give a quick example. These shiny MAC codes are issued to the customer to ensure a pretty much seamless transition from one ISP to another, right?

Not as far as Tiscali are concerned. They knew my activation date was today, but decided to cut me off on Friday bleedin' night. I've suffered an entire weekend without any internet connection. I've come through my harrowing ordeal a little weary, a little dishevelled, but I learnt a lot about myself and am now a stronger person. I found God, too, but then lost him down the back of the sofa.

I'm going to be immersing myself in my long-lost best friend, the internet, like it was Kelly Brooks' breast milk.

Did I already say Whoopeee?

I was also activated today, but I'll have to be patient before I can really get excited yet, as I have a few connection problems to sort out.

Thanks, guys, you made me feel both warm and fuzzy.

Just a quickie (ooh vicar!), I can't seem to log in to the ADSL control panel to set up my email accounts. I'm 100% sure that I've got my username and password correct, is it possible that a big red button somewhere hasn't been pressed? I've set up an address with entanet as a backup, but I'd prefer to have an ADSL one. Whenever I try to log in to the ADSL cPanel, it screams at me that my login has failed.

And then a fish comes out of my monitor screen and spits lemon juice in my eyes.

That was all true.

Apart from the fish.

The username and password for the Adsl24 cPanel is different to that for the Entanet Control Panel - are you sure that you're using the correct ones?

Yeah, I'm definitely using the correct username and password - they're the ones that you choose and get confirmed on setup, whereas the entanet one is the email address you give them.

But I still get 'Login Attempt Failed!'

I think the exclamation mark is quite unnecessary. It's mocking me.

If you're positive that you're using the correct username and password (it's the ones given under the heading "Adsl24 Free Hosting And Email Details" in your welcome email), I'd advise you to raise a support ticket about this.

D'OH!

I was looking at the wrong part of the email. Tried it with the correct details, and it works like a charm.

I will now look for a blunt instrument with which to hit myself, repeatedly, about the head and goolies.

Thanks tboorman, you're a beautiful human being.
