Magnet use public IP addresses. Assuming that all consumer broadband products use private RFC1918 addresses and NAT is bad.
It sounds like this laptop is not using the right DNS servers.
The two IP addresses mentioned resolve to ns1.magnet.ie and ns2.magnet.ie
Random googling suggests that dns1.magnet.ie (85.91.1.18) and dns2.magnet.ie (85.91.1.19) should be used. Manually configure these IP addresses in your Internet connection settings for your DNS servers.
Is that how the other laptop is configured?
Could you clarify the above please
You should make sure both laptops are configured exactly the same. If one works and the other one doesn't.
Aiden,
As I mentioned on Post #34 on this thread back on the 8th , there is a nasty little virus going around (via BEBO) that can cause problems similar to what this thread starter is having and what you definitly are having.
If you go here [broken link removed] there are links to exactly how to get rid of this annoying virus .
Basically what it does is change your Internet Settings and Installs a mini proxy setting that loads up on every reboot (for specific usernames)
If you download freeware "malwarebytes Anti Malware" you should clean your system of this little annoyance and not have to log in as a different user.
