    Help HELP! Firefox working fine, IE, Chrome + Usenet not working at all :(

    hey guys, heres the background to the problem

    i was connected wirelessly to my wireless router downstairs first and everything worked fine but the signal kept on dropping out once an hour or so.

    so i went and bought some homeplugs and connected em up.

    now firefox works fine and i can download etc, but IE and chrome dont load any pages at all?! i even unplugged the ethernet cable and tried connecting wirelessly and it still doesnt load.

    and now my usenet has stopped working for some reason, ive tried different apps like grabit, alt binz etc and ive inputted all my details correctly but it just wont download.

    i thought it might be a usenetserver problem so signed upto astraweb and put the server deets in and its still doesnt work.

    i dont get this

    What happens if you go back to the wireless solution?
    What is it with steel wool? Is it steel? Or is it wool?
