It seems to be okay now. I think it is no co-incidence that our LEA has changed ISPs over last weekend. It has also broken iPlayer it now thinks we are outside of the UK!

Yes, but its never been a problem before. Mind you our LEA has just changed ISPs not related I suppose?

Thanks for the suggestions No luck either way, this is very very odd. It was working fine not so long ago... I suppose I could try a Java update...

Hi Has anybody experienced Javascript breaking on the BBC revisewise site, it seems to be an issue with IE7 and Firefox. I cannot view the interactive content. An example URL is BBC - Schools - KS2 Bitesize Revision - Science All I get is the page without the content and this javascript error from the error console. bbcjs.plugins.Flashmovie is null or not an object. This happens on XP and Vista, but first showed up in Vista, I have tried other sites such as BBC history and I get the same. Has anybody got any ideas what this could be, a bad implementation of Javascript in IE7?? Firefox doesnt work as well though, I am out of ideas. Many Thanks Rolando

Yeah they are 3COM, ill have a look at configuring that STP protocol. (Never heard of it before!!) The switches have management ports I think, if not Ill find a way. Failing that ill get my network support company out, they put them in after all. Thanks all for the advice on the Sunday night, top job!! I can go on holiday and relax now.

I have replaced all the 10/100 switches at my school to Gigabit as I have recently installed a new server with two Gigabit NICs in it and its all nice and fast except.... When my windows xp machines are getting an IP address, it seems to be taking a while longer than when I had my 10/100 switches. When I took my laptop in over the holidays to do some work, it took what seemed forever to get an IP address and I have noticed it at the end of last term on the teachers laptops. Its not a show stopper, but it just seems a bit odd, does anyone have any ideas for investigating further?

This AutoIT script literally toggles the proxy on and off and reports which one is active, i nicked it off the AutoIT site ages ago. The teachers can understand this one. Ive seen less elegant solutions by other Techs at schools I have taken over the running of. Try it, you might like it. $ProxyEnabled = RegRead('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings','ProxyEnable') If $ProxyEnabled = 0 Then RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings','ProxyEnable','REG_DWORD',1) MsgBox(0," Proxy Toggle","School Internet",2) Else RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings','ProxyEnable','REG_DWORD',0) MsgBox(0," Proxy Toggle","Home Internet",2) EndIf
