I've been trading races all week & frustratingly either my laptop froze or my internet connection dropped and I couldn't recover the situation.

Once I had stopped feeling sorry for myself, I realized I needed to have a backup plan. I am not sure whether to invest in a backup laptop & have a mobile connection running. Or maybe I just need a mobile connection on my laptop as a backup plan.

I run Windows Vista and previously tried having both my wireless connection & mobile connection running. But I couldn't find a way to switch between them easily and had conflictions.

I ideally it would be great to have a switch at any moment I need to.

I am interested to know what other people think or suggest. Any thoughts would be greatfully received.

Steve.

I tend to have my 3G modem plugged in but I ensure that it's setup for manual connection. If I lose normal internet I just have to click Connect and it's connected within seconds.
