Hi again. I just need to make sure of a few things that were hinted at in an earlier thread. My room is lined with aluminium. I cannot get a good signal from my wireless router even if I have the router in the same room as my computer. Is this to be expected, or is my card broken? Can I buy an external antenna (like a desktop one) to run from my wireless network card to outside the room? Is...

Hi! I'm search software for finding files in local network and find LAN Search, File Search for LAN and Cool Find. But all three programs is not really cool, because search is performed for very long time. Is anyone can suggest more fast program or solution for fast file searching in local area network? Thank you for any suggestions. Sorry for bad English.

It's not like the config screen is particularly complex, just name the port forwarding...

To everyone interested in Draytek Vigor products. I signed up to their UK support forum (which granted had an agreement which said I had to own a Vigor router) and posted a pre-purchase question. Each time, the post, along with the account that posted it was deleted within a few hours with no explanation... I looked at the rules for the board and noticed an e-mail address for any questions...
