Yes I would also like to offer my thanks to the mods working the flood news all day and most of the night. The info has been very helpful in many ways for our family.

We have exactly the same problem with a WIN7 PC and the TRUE ZyXEL router.
Two other PCs running WIN XP have no problem on LAN cable only my son's PC (WIN7) has this problem. For now he is running it on WiFi which is working well but very slow for file transfers between PCs.

I have now some questions regarding the settings as suggested by Crossy:

Is it enough to enter those settings only in the TCP/IP properties on the PC or are there also changes to the router settings required?
I'm reluctant to make any changes on the router for fear it may upset the other PCs on the LAN.

The fixed IP as suggested is 192.168.1.3 but the router is pre-set with:
IP pool starting address: 192.168.1.33 and pool size 32.
So what IP address should we use on the PC?

As the primary DNS Crossy suggested 192.168.1.1, is this correct since it is the router IP?

No problem for me on TRUE in BKK.

This may not be of much help to nitge now but here is some info regarding pestcontrol:

Everything below was taught us by plant-inspectors of the Department of Agriculture (Kaset).
Since we export plants to the EU we had to register our nursery as being bug and pest

free. This took a year with montly visits by inspectors. After the nursery was found
clean for the last three visits we got the certificate.

Since we buy all plants for export from other growers and the plants are usually small

and infested we have to treat them prior to placing in our nursery.
This is done by taking the plant up-side-down and dipping the entire plant (NOT the

rootball) in 0.2% Imidaclopid for 15 min., keep in a dry place and water only the roots -

do not water the foliage - for one week.
After that water normally and spray the plants from underneath the foliage with

Carbosulfan once a month.
This is suppost to work for all bugs known here.

For long term use we had to place bug glue tags around the nursery (see photos).

These tags are non toxic and can be placed in every garden. You can easily make them

yourself:

Cut YELLOW! (this color attracts most bugs)  corugated plastic poster board (not sure

what this is actually called in English) size 4x6" and fix it on a little bamboo stick. This

can be permanent since it never needs to be changed.
Place a clear plastic bag (4½ x 7") and place it over the plastic board, use a staple

(MAX) to hold it in place. Now spread bug glue on both sides of the bag (the glue is

water and sun proof for about a month and can be bought at shops outside

Chatuchak). Replace the bag every 3-4 weeks or when full of bugs.
As for the Hibiscus of nitge you can make some tags just tall enough to fit under the

bush but the yellow tag is just inside the foliage. This way you will not only catch flying

but also some crawling bugs.

The hight of the tag should be about level with the foliage with most plants in the

garden.

Now an inspector shows up every six weeks and weekly if we have a shipment

scheduled. I they find any bug on two subsequent visits our certificate will be revoked.

Our nursery is open air, no greenhouse etc. so it can be quite a tough job if you have a

few thousand plants stored there.

We have the same problem with the plants we export One aphis found in a EU or US bound shipment and all plants will be destroyed. Particularly Hibiscus and Plumeria appear to be tasty for the bugs.


We use a variety of chemicals, whatever is currently in our stock.

I suggest you do a Google for aphis control - lots of info there. Most chemicals are available at the shops outside the Chatuchak market in BKK.
Strong water spray is also OK but only if you can find them all and the infestation is not widespread.
