Hi, I'm a newbie here and I am in need of some help (of course )...

About 3 weeks ago I noticed that I could no longer UPLOAD files (pics) to most sites.
I have tried many ways to do it... upload tools from certain sites to upload to their site (like Flickr) , direct UPLOADS from the site (using browse), FTP to my own site etc...

However, there are some things that do work so it MAKES it even more confusing for me... I can upload from Picasa to Blogger (but not Picasa to Google web album), I can at times send an e-mail with picture attachments but often it does not work.

The messages that I get vary from TIMEOUTS to can't find internet connection (I am connected though).. the files are never large often about 100k so I don't think that it is a size issue...

I have a Laptop running XP pro, I recently reformatted (last week) and even that didn't help. I do have a wireless router but haven't changed any of the settings...

Any ideas what it could be?If you're using a fresh Windows installation and still suffering from the problem, either your router or modem is on the blink, or your ISP has messed up your connection. Either way you should ring them up for advice and tests etc.
