Hi, I have a box with an aerial and a socket marked "LAN" - which appears to be one of these: http://www.newlinkproducts.co.uk/prodinfo.asp?catID=2&prodID=8 However, it has no label and no indication of default settings. I have tried resetting it with a computer connected to the LAN port set

Hi guys and gees Scenario is; one main server computer with win server 2003 installed is serving other computers as domain controller. Internet is distributed via DSL modem, with ISA 2000 on server side and ISA cliect on workstation side.

Hi Folks, hopefully I've got this followup-to business sorted now. My only experience of VoIP is using earplugs and a mike via Skype so connection was made by way of Skype's server. I see many modern routers have a phone connection and I read somewhere that VoIP connections can be made by dialing the remote IP address but I'm not sure if this was manufacturer specific or an option will all...

I use wpa tkip on my router and today see an extra entry on the dhcp list that isnt any of my own systems. Has someone gotten past the security or does the router give an ip to any system that tries unsuccessfully to connect? Thanks

I've currently got around 40GB of files copying from my PC (XP Pro) to my brother's laptop (Vista Home Premium) running through my Linksys WRT54GS wireless router - Cat5, not wireless. It's currently chugging along at 1.64MB/Sec, has been going now for 2 hours and is reporting another 7 hours to go! Is this the going rate for that amount of data? Seems painfully slow to me for a hard wire...

Owing to an erratic internet connection my ISP has suggested I try the following MTU settings; 1458, 1478 and 1500 My Linksys router's manual has the following suggestions; Try this list of values, one value at a time, in this order, until your problem is solved: 1462

I am about to set up a friend of mine who has just received her modem(usb) from the ISP. I have recommended that she uses a software firewall, but having not used a software firewall for some years (I use hardware router firewall), I am not sure what is best these days. In my experience of some time ago, I found Zone Alarm to be very good. Is this still the case? Or should I just enable the...

Greetings - have a network consisting of my hardwired PC, a spare hardwired PC, and my wife's wi-fi PC connecting through a Linksys WAG54GS. The wi-fi PC uses a Linksys USB wi-fi adaptor. All PCs on Win XP SP2 This has been working fine for some time. Our phone exchange then developed a fault and phone line went down, and is still giving a lot of wierd noises and BT say it is still being...

Recently I posted a thread asking about MTU and how to alter it. I was given two references as follows; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283165 http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/280/ The microsoft gives a data location of Ndiswan\Parameters\Protocols\0 whereas the PC Tools page gives a location of Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ Interfaces\

Folks, I know that newer high-end Laptops have a wake on wireless lan feature, to enable remote patching of software for example. Called WOWLAN Does anyone know if this is possible the other way round? I want my Desktop PC to wake up from standby mode when I switch on my Laptop, and when the Laptop is switched off the desktop would then have to go into standby mode. The laptop is fitted...

I run a wireless network using a Buffalo Air Station wireless router - which has WDS mode. I want to extend my network to a location 150 meters away in another building. I don't really understand WDS, but if I connect up my current router to a hi gain external aerial, buy another Buffalo router with WDS mode and put it in the remote location (also with a hi gain external aerial) - Would it...

Anyone any experience of using Ravonet wireless ADSL routers? Stuart

I have been advised by my ISP to try a different MTU in an attempt to resolve a connection problem. I'm running XP Home behind a Linksys WAG54G router, I've seen this MTU setting somewhere but cannot find it at the moment. Is it a computer, NIC or router setting? Geoff Lane

I'm thinking of getting one of these on eBay but many are Sky-logoed (i.e. came with Sky broadband). I'm not with Sky. Is there ANY difference when the DG834GT and the Sky verson? If there is, is it important or can I happily use one of these? Thansk PP

I'm looking at replacing my mishmash of boxes pinched (er, borrowed) from work. I want an all in one solution to be adsl modem, router, WAP, and also do VPN tunnel endpoint to connect my network to the office. I've been looking around, and the Zyxel 662 looks good, but it's a bit pricey still, wheras the Billion 7402G is a fair bit cheaper and still seems to do what I want. Thing is, i've...

having problems setting up the wireless on one of my computer, I'm using a linksys routor and a Balkin 54mbps wireless pci card.. no problem finding available networks but when I put my network Encryption key in ( which is 22 digits) I get this warning massage: The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits. This can be entered as 5 or 13 asci characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal...

Anyone done this? Only concern for me is the temperature. Whats the temperature in an average airing cupboard? I don't own a thermometer. The AP concerned is the linkysys 54G. The blurb for it says "operating temperature 0-40 degrees celsius, storage temp 0-70 degrees". Does this means it could reach temperature of 40 degrees when it's on, but that you could install it in an ambient temp of...

Hi, I have a home PC running XP Pro. This hosts my broadband connection (I use a Netgear DG834 wireless router/access point). I used to have a HP laptop also running XP Pro and this was able to share my internet connection and also access shared folders and files on my home PC. I've just bought a new HP laptop which came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium and I'm having a devil of a job...
