I recently replaced by Belkin modem/router with the BT Voyager product (the 2100). I have the full BT Broadband ADSL package (512K). It set-up without any problems and connected OK but I am getting chronic Internet speeds. It takes about 10 seconds for a web page to appear and my download speed is around 8kb/s. I have Belkin cards in my desktop machine and a BT card in my wife's laptop. The...

Hi Guys, Sorry for yet another 'What do I need' kinda post but the wireless networking thing is really confusing me at the moment! All I'm looking to do is to share internet access and a few files between a desktop and a laptop both running Windows XP (SP2). The desktop PC is on and connected nearly all the time so do I necessarily need a router or wireless modem? I'm currently using ICS...

Hey, I have tried everything, and I cannot get the router to connect to the modem. Them modem works fine, and so does the router, I just dont know enough about IP/Gateway/etc settings to do this. I am sure this has been answered, but can anybody tell me what settings I need to configure in to get a wireless router talking to a blueyonder cable modem?

My current two comps use Windows95 and WindowsME. I expect to add a laptop with WindowsXP and want to have the three running on a WiFi network. Can someone advise me whether a router would deal with these three different systems and if so, what I need add to the present two computers to make them able to receive the signals. Advice would be appreciated. MH

Help? Wired router to PC and configuration/setup seemed to go without any problem. I want to share broadband/files etc with daughters laptop, which has network PC card. Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but do I have to now wire the laptop and run the linksys configuration/setup again on that before she can go wireless? Thanks for any help, Del.

Got 3 printers to share across small wireless network. Been advised to link all 3 to 1 pc and use that pc for (amongs other things) printer sharing. However, that means the PC will have to be permanently on to give me access to the printers as and when needed. Any other solution that will allow just the printers to remain on and nothing more? thanks a lot.

Whilst working online the other day connected to a server 150mls away, something printed out on my printer, and it was someone printing from the distant office. It made me think, how do I know they can't access my PC? Or how do I ensure they don't?

We are shortly about to get broadband by wireless/satellite (community system). The provider says there is an extra charge of £5 per month for each extra computer. I currently connect 3 PC's via a router to an ISDN ISP. Two PC's are connected by cable to the router the other is bluetooth wireless. I can't imagine how the new set up will work?

Had a similar problem and reset the hub/switch and it all worked again. Does it work if you switch off the firewall? Have you installed SP2? On Wed, 17 Mar 2004 06:33:37 -0000, "ScrinnFenner"

I have a Netgear DG384G upgraded to firmware release 1.04. I keep getting a drop in my internet connection every fifteen minutes or so on average on my PC and laptop, both of which connect to the network via Belkin wireless cards. I didn't have this problem originally, and I can't determine any changes I have made that coincide with when the problem started. I am running Windows XP on...

Hi Folks, I've got a D-Link DSL-504 but have recently bought a new latop with a wireless connection. So I want to plug something wireless into my DSL-504 so I can use the wireless connection. Do I need a bridge or a wireless access point? And whatever gizmo I plug into the DSL-504 what IP address will it be assigned? Cheers James.

Is this totally incompatible with USB connected broadband?
