Hey all,
Annoying problem!!! my internet keeps changing from:
Access: Local and Internet
To
Access: Local only
??? Whats causing this, does anyone know? when i switch of my modem and router for a few seconds and switch it on there's a temporary fix but about an hour or so later it changes back to local only and i cant access the internet, im thinking of just resetting my router?

Now its Local only even when i switch of the modem and router, also my telewest has gone, maybe someone hasnt paid the bill

hmm. I've never come across this error.

I think it would be ideal to re-set the router. This may fix the problem....

I think the Local Only / Local and Internet bit is worked out by trying to ping a Microsoft server. If it doesn't get a ping back, then it assumes the internet is down. It does not actually prevent you from getting on the net.

Sounds like a problem with your actual broadband provider.
