Currently I am in ROI where 3 have a network and consequently I can roam
for free on this, according to their instructions. I called them
beforehand and set up international roaming on the account.

I get a good 3 network signal where I am located, in fact it is better
than most locations in the UK as the mast is near the house where I am
staying. I can connect the modem to the network fine, but when I try to
load webpages or run any other internet connected programs I get "the
page cannot be displayed". I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the default gateway.
I cannot ping any IP address on the internet. Any ideas what the problem
is here?

Many Thanks

Try running IPCONFIG /ALL in a command window. What is the default
gateway? Are there DNS servers there, and can you ping them? You might
like to post the results:

Am able to ping my own IP and the default gateway. I cannot ping the DNS or
WINS servers (request timed out)

Try changing the DNS servers to the OpenDNS ones. I did as I always
found 3's to be slow.
