Has anyone else tried to wall-mount a belkin WAP, the model f5d7130? Having just looked at this, it seems that as supplied, it will only mount with the aerials pointing *downwards*. Doesn't seem to affect performance, but looks decidedly odd :-)

I am intrested in the Linksys Wireless-G 54mbps Broadband Router, The router i currently have a Belkin 54g Wireless Router bhas died. Where is the cheapest place to get one? Are the Linksys better than the Belkin? TIA Carl

I was asked if a Asante 5 port Ethernet 10/100 switch could be linked via the spare port direct into a 24 port Access/Switch to expand the network for Apple Macs? If it is possible is a crossover cable required or straight ? TIA

If two computers have wireless network cards in is it possible to share files between them without using a wireless access point (not switched on), thanks.

I have a Linksys wireless-G broadband router that currently just acts as a WAP and router, I use ISDN for Internet access. Broadband is on the way and I think I will get a Draytek wireless router/modem. Will it be possible to join the Linksys and Draytek with a cable so that I can locate the Linksys on one side of the house and the Draytek on the other to give me better wireless cover? The...

I've just enabled ICS on my XP Home (SP2) PC to allow a couple of other networked computers (Win 98) to have internet connections until I get ADSL and a router. I'm interested in the data-transfer speed that the XP (router) PC shows. Before, when I browsed the web, downloaded email etc, the Networking tab of Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) for the dial-up connection typically showed a graph...

Experimenting to make network between two computers with crossed cables. Both with Win XP PRO +SP2 and similar setup. I can see that both computers find each other on My Network Places. From computer "A" I find and full manage computer "B" by Remote Desktop Connection, but from computer "B" I'm not able to connect to "A" by Remote Desktop Connection.

I'm confused, in order to benefit from super G wireless products, do they all need to be the same brand? and if not, how do you know certain products from one brand are compatiable with ones from another?

2 PCs connected through a Linksys Wireless G router PC 1 is running XP Home (SP2) (direct RJ45 connection) PC 2 is running XP Pro (SP2) (Linksys wireless card connection) (signal strength is excellent) Yesterday I successfully set up shared folders on each PC and it all appeared to be working like a charm. However, I've turned it on this morning and ....

My current setup is three PC's (two upstairs, one down) networked by standard cables to a standalone broadband modem/router with a 1meg connection, which sits on top of the one downstairs. But I need advice about what I want to do, which is to extend the network availability out into a shed which I'm kitting out as a workshop. I'd like to put four network access points in there. (The maximum...

I have connected my pc to my laptop via a crossover cable and I can access the internet on the laptop through my PC but I can't seem to get files sharing to work??? I don't know much about this kind of thing and don't understand most of the info on websites as it is to Jargon like. Is there any easy way to sort this out as I just can't get it. I would be very grateful if some expert could...

Hi, As I already have a 10/100 card installed and a USB ADSL modem, what's the cheapest way to share my internet connection with a PDA? Do I need an access point for the PC and a wi-fi card for the PDA? Or can I just use a USB wireless adapter for the PC together with a wi-fi card for the PDA? Do I then turn on ICS and share my existing connection?

Trying to figure out the most suitable unit to allow me to connect to the office's network via its Draytek Vigor 2600. This has been configured for VPN connection & three colleagues already connect using ADSL modems. I need a router as I will be connecting from a desktop & a notebook. I've been told by two potential suppliers that I need to buy a Vigor 2600+. This is £40 more than the base...

I've just been setting up a new belkin f5d7130 wireless access point. It appears that you can't specify an IP gateway for this, and that if you want to use the web-based setup, the web client has to be on the same subnet. Irritating if so; am I missing something here?

Hi, Just to simplify a previous post... I have a belkin adsl modem/wireless router, and connect to it from various desktop/laptop machines. The current problem seems to be that a signal is detected, for maybe 3 seconds, then it vanishes.. then it's detected again, and vanishes.. this goes on and on and it can't hold a connection at all. While this

At the present time I have 2 PCs sharing my Broadband connection through a long Cat5 UTP crossover cable. My modem is connected to the server machine through a USB port. Apart from an occasional funny with XP ICS, it works well and always has done. What I am hoping to do is to install a wirelessG PCI card in the server, and use a USB dongle adapter in the slave machine, making the server machine...

Having a real struggle to get XP & ME to see each other (see earlier post: Newbie XP/ME network). Have finally reached the stage where each machine can ping the other but although files are shared I still can't see them across the network via Explorer! From WinME via Explorer 'Entire Network' is empty From XP via Explorer I get the error message: 'Workgroup name' is not accessable. You might...

Hi I am new to all this and am a little lost. I have just bought a Dynamode ASDL router/modem in one box. My ADSL account went live and I managed to set up the Dynamode with the details sent to me - though it was not obvious at all what I had to do. The problem I have is that I've had to do all this though the USb cable as
