I was setting up shared printing on a network with one XP PC (which shared
the printer attached to it) and two Vista PCs (one Home Basic, the other
Home Premium) which are configured to access this shared printer. The router
was a Linksys WAG54G.
The Home Premium PC could access the XP PC by its hostname, both for pings
and for net view, whereas the Home Basic PC could not resolve the...

Hi
Does anyone else have problems with accessing nntp servers through Sky
Broadband or is it just me? At the best of times it is flaky, and at
evenings and weekend it is completely unusable. I use nntp purely for
text groups (big five, gmane, mozilla, mozdev, opera) and not binaries.
Regards,
Chris

I topped up my S2 subscription by £10 and received the usual 'free
stuff' including an internet allowance of 150Mb.
However my Three mobile dongle has just run out of credit with a week
to go, so I decided to buy a one week internet add-on at £2.50 for the
S2 which I can also use as a modem.
However I have two concerns.
One - how much download/upload data do I get for the one week internet

Hi all
For those of you who are outside the Hull area, this will sound Monopolistic
and prehistoric in ISP terms.
Users inside the Hull and suburbs boundary have one fixed line/Internet
connection provider to choose from Kingston Communications - branded Karoo.
So my current deal gives me unlimited download with (admittedly) some loss
of service during peak evening hours.

ADSL 2+ is provided by a thompson speedtouch modem / router connected to
an 8 port switch.
I also have a discarded by someone else but apparently fully functional
Zoom X6 ADSL router series 1058 model 5590C.
I was wondering if I could use the Zoom device as a wireless access
point on my LAN.

A Taxi company we know has a data system that when the Taxi approaches
the premises the data system knows this by the GPS tracking system and
hence makes a two ring call to the punter to let them know their Taxi is

This works very well and is considered most useful by the customers but

I'm looking to change my ADSL broadband supplier from Claranet so
that I can get a block of 8 IPs (5 usable, I know) instead of a
single static IP.
Currently looking at Zen, AAISP and Idnet, about all of which I have
seen good reports over the years, but don't know how they currently
compare on performance and service.
Any recommendations or reviews from anyone here?

Is it any good?
Not for me specifically, but so I can help out a friend.

OK, situation is I would like to squeeze as much as I can out of
upstream connectyion.
Sync is fine at 448k, but actual throughput is down at 376k consistently.
Now I know there is always some overhead, but what is the best way to
minimise that..is there an optimal MTU size?
Currently its 1400.

Hi all,
Apologies if this is common knowledge but despite considerable efforts,
I cannot get a clear answer.
I have been given a BT 2700hgv router and am about to get connected to
BT Total Broadband. Could I use the 2700hgv router with Total Broadband
or is the Total Broadband standard issue router as good/better/any
different? What are the advantages to using each?

My question is if I change to an ISP that claims to use BT's

by BT's traffic shaping or does each ISP determine its own...

Firmware upgrade went wrong, read through forums and seen about the

Found this file but when I run it it goes through to the 'please power

access it through the IP number.
I'm running Win 7
