I have a small network with the Internet link shared using Windows XP's ICS and a switch. Lately some users started using P2P apps and before you know it all the bandwidth to the Internet has been taken up. Banning P2P and have some form of use policy is not an option due to "office politics" I wish to archive one of the following two with minimal budget: 1. Use packet filter on the ICS gateway...

Hi all, I have just got hold of a Dell Poweredge 2300 server and was going to install it in the attic to control my home network of 2 desktop pcs and 2 laptops. I have one desktop and one laptop downstairs and one each upstairs. Rather than start lifting floorboards, drilling holes etc I was wondering if wireless would be an effective alternative to the yards and yards of wiring. If I install a...

Anyone know how to speed up XP's networking? It's appallingly slow, and I know the reasons for it, but am at a loss as to what to do about it. -- Jock.

Just a quick query on behalf of a friend... He recently bought a Vigor 2600W router and appears to be having a few problems getting it to work in certain places around his home. Does anyone know if the Vigor2600W has any way of adjusting the power out, ie range of the wireless output, or does it run flat out all the time? I have several access points and I can adjust them to output various...

Hi All, Last Monday I received a new Acer 1353XC as an insurance replacement for my trusty Compaq 1260 (that got dopped). I finished the XP Home install on the Acer and tried to use it on my network with no luck. I plugged in a Cardbus 10/100 Ethernet card and that connected to my network (and internet) straight away. I had the same sucess with a

Hi, This one has really got me stumped. A friend asked me to troubleshoot their old Windows 98 PC that would not browse the web.

Neither Outlook Express, Internet Explorer or command line utilities seem to

I recently tried netlimiter as a way of limiting the bandwidth of my childrens computer to a reasonable level that allows them to access the internet using my broadband connection, but without allowing them to have the whole full bandwidth. The program works very well, but everytime I have checked their system, they have switched off netlimiter. Does anyone know if there is a program like...
