Thanks Henk &ussnorway. Getting waaaaaay out of my depth here <hangs head in shame> but these are the settings from the "3 port". I'm in NZ so TNZ (Telecom NZ aka Spark is my ISP. Do these settings look ok? I'm happy to stay on this router now but will post same details for the original if you...

Some more info on this. I thought I'd try another ADSL2 router that I had previously on this connection some time ago (6 months?), had swapped it as it lost a LAN port (now 3 from 4 working).

Hi Bochane - got myself in knots trying to post screenshots from two different systems. AMDW10: ACERW7: There was nothing further listed after Autoconfiguration Enabled (above) however there were quite a number of differences notes between the two so I thought I'd post both rather than...

Thanks for the reply Randy. I first tried this with the user Backup1 in the "Backup Operators" Group only as you suggest... but then user Backup1 was not visible on the intial W7 logon screen alongside Standard User logon button and Admin logon button ( - I only have 2 logon options visible if...

Hi – I am trying to setup a Win7 Pro PC backup so that the primary user does not have any admin rights. Setup Standard user login and then another separate login for file backups. Created a new login called Backup1, and assigned this User Account to the Backup Operators Group, and Users Group...

HI - I'm building a W7 PRo PC for a local club and want to lock down the PC. I have setup an Admin account, and set the main user account as a Standard account. I also want them to be able to use W7 Backup/Restore to backup the Standard Users "My Documents" folder to memory stick on a weekly...
