Want to network all three and be ready with wireless for adding a laptop in the future. NO BBand yet but remain hopeful. Is there any (wireless) router that will provide the ISDN and be ready for ADSL?

The actual line speed won't increases but the USB modem draws heavily on system resources. A router doesn't so the machine it's connected to will more than likely run a...

Folks, I'm on BT Broadband. I've got two computers, one at home and one a laptop. I'd like the option to download my BT email from my computer at home. I've already got a mydns domain set-up for ftp server access, so would like some sort of email server also. I've got cygwin installed, so a unix mail server may do the job. Basically the home computer will collect my BT mail and hold it on a...

I have a 54G ad-hoc network set up here using 2 Belkin 54G PCI cards running on channel 11. Its been working fine for several months with the Belkin Utility consitant reporting speeds of 48/54MB with a "Excellent" Signal strength However, for the last week or two - my siginal strength has dropped to "Very Low" with the reported speed dropping to as low as 1MB (mainly in the evenings)

I am in the market for a wireless 54G adsl modem/router and am looking at the Netgear DG834G (£115) Belkin 7630 (£107) Linksys WAG54G (£87) If anyone has any idea's/recommendations on which to choose and why I'd be grateful.

I've got two laptops and a router all running 802.11g (g mode only, not mixed). There are no other network devices visible anywhere in the neighbourhood. I am copying some large .avi files between the Windows XP laptops. Using Windows Task Manager I am monitoring transfer rates and am amazed and disappointed to see that the network is only running at a max of 20% capacity and sometimes single...

Hi All Has anyone out there bought, and set up a Belkin 54g wireless network card. I have installed the software, installed the card and actually had a network set up between my desktop and my laptop, which has a built in Broadcom WiFi card, Being a complete novice when it comes to networking, I was worried about security, a friend of my wife, who was supposed to be up to speed with WiFi, tried...

I am proposing to network my two PCs via a Network Path Cable CAT 5e RJ45 cable in order to share printers and data. My desktop has Win 98SE and my laptop Win XP. Does this give me a problem mixing the two systems? Also could anyone give me a reference to a detailed article on connecting only two home PCs Blair Malcolm

I would like to set up a wireless network between my desktop and laptop computer but I am a complete beginner when it comes to networking, I have had so much conflicting advice from the likes of PC World and Curry's that I don't know where to start. I have a Medion desktop running XP with a 10/100 Ethernet socket on the back, I have an E Machine laptop with built in WiFi and a Belkin...

Hi have just installed an ADSL modem/router. System has Zone Alarm pro installed. When I look at the zone alarm log it seems to be redundant on incoming alerts, but excessively active on outgoing - MESSENGER. How do I get rid of messenger, and is ZA actually now no use?

A couple of times a day my connection will just freeze and then the network connection will drop completely, and I theind myself unable to 'talk' to my router.

Any ideas that may help me get my network fully up and running? I'm using an NTL Broadband connection through the Set Top Box. This connection goes to a Belkin 4-Port Router (F5D5230-4). Straight through cables then go my 2 PCs. I have absolutely no problem getting the internet on both PCs but I'm beggared if I can get the PCs to share files (and believe me, I've tried all sorts). I must assume...
