Something weird is going on and other members are being nice to a newbie, maybe you should try it instead of being such a butt-faced grinch?
If it's 'weird' that others are being nice why I am the butt-face grinch by acting normally? And to be fair, if the OP takes the point on board and posts his questions in the right place next time he'll be better of. So as usual, very badly put but still good advice at the end of the day.

Nice one! Also a short period of not invoicing is nothing compared to long term client relationship, cos that's what keeps the money coming in. Happened to me many times for various reasons. Also, IMHO, don't stay too long, 2 years in start looking for another client, i.e. get more than one satisfied client on your CV. Returning clients even better.

What's your role?
Can they not set you up on O365 and mail so you can access stuff?
Have they not got citrix?
Have you not signed (or offered to sign) an NDA?
Never had an issue myself using client kit, so what exactly wasn't working?

Are you inside or outside IR35? I'd be concerned your hiring manager is asking you to take the day off if you are a contractor. You can't do work you don't get paid I am afraid. Tough one as it's their fault but they can just say don't do work for the next week and they don't have to pay.
Welcome to contracting I am afraid.
P.S. Did you put as much effort in to fixing your IT problems as you did researching the best place for your post? That could be the issue.

Buy a one page a day diary and write everything down, who when what and where. (don't use your phone or a PC for that)
You can then refer to that when needed.
Make your self busy and learn off others while you wait
Sent £50 to me for this advice.

IT issues - unable to access end client network
Hello - Im new to contracting and I'm my fifth day on the job. I have been having no end of IT issues with issues at the end clients network culminating in me having to send my IT equipment back to them. In the meantime my hiring manager is unable to send me work due to confidentiality issues and is asking whether id like to take the day off.
I wondered what the position is here as I'm ready and willing to work - their IT is the problem so does that mean I can't invoice and lose a day or two pay as a result?
