I was looking on the family computer, and noticed a little padlock symbol on the diagram of two computers.


See?

The other two computers we have don't show that padlock, and the computer with it seems to sometimes be blocked from recieving any data. Wondered what it meant, if it affects me adversely, and how to get rid of it if it does.

Ah ok...
Problem solved [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Which doesn't explain why that computer seems to have a very poor connection, compared to the others, but never mind [img]tongue.gif[/img]
