Where's a good place to get microfilters from in the high street? I need to get them by Thursday. -- RCE Defiant

Might as well just lay Cat5. Wireless is easier but the equipment can be expensive and you won't get the same speed as a wired network. When you get your electrician (or if you're going to do it yourself) make sure he/you is/are au-fait with laying cat5 cable and has experience. Cat5 has been known to complain with corners and if it hasn't been crimped in securely then you make get a loose...

Is anybody theeeeeeeeeerre ?

Okay just looked at Vigor's site: http://www.draytek.com.tw/english/product/vigor2600_x_w_we.php One is for ADSL, one is for ISDN. Maybe he should have looked at the manual or the labellng of the ports?! (The picture shows that it is clearly written on the device).

I don't know about Vigors but one will probably be for the modem (IN) the other could well be an OUT for the telephone. Check the manual maybe?

I'm using WS_FTP to upload my web sites from my Win XP Pro machine which has Kerio firewall running. Uploads run for a short time and then WS_FTP hangs. Once I have shut it down I can see that not all files were uploaded and of those that were, some were only partially transferred. If I stop Kerio running then transfers are fine. Now I've had this running perfectly in the past but cannot...

I've currently got two domains and I'd like to change registrar if I can - my current one seems to go in for deleting mail without warning if their systems get overloaded. I need a cheap registration fee (.net and ..org.uk) and an easy way of pointing the domain's name servers at my ISP's. Any recommendations? (Not Easyspace...) Thanks, Iain. --

Hello, I have a home network setup and working very well except for one computer. Current I have 4 computers on a network. Here's the setup. DSL modem to a Linksys router/wireless access point. 2 desktops wired to the router, 1 running win xp pro, 1 running win2000. 2 laptops wireless to the router, 1 running win xp pro, 1 running win98se.

Hi Andy I share my broadband connection only to two pc's, but I use a linksys cable/dsl router as suggested by NTL - bought it from pcworld. It works wonderfully and was very easy to set up. Hope this helps regards Patricia "phoenix" wrote in message ...

I have just set up a peer to peer wireless network between a laptop and a desktop, both running XP Home. The desktop has internet access via NTL set top box and a second NIC. The desktop can access the internet without problems but i can't get any response from the laptop. The actual wireless network functions okay, ping from each PC to the other and shared folders and printer access is okay.

Hi Group.. It's time to get broadband, and take the opportunity to network my PC in the spare room with my son's in his bedroom. Mine is a new XP system and his is an older Winn98se system. I'd like to get them both on one broadband connection via a ADSL modem and router? Question is, what do I need in terms of hardware and cables, and what is the wiring pattern? At the moment, my machine has...

Hi I have a wireless network card (Belkin 54g PCI) with a black plastic antenna on the back. I keep getting disconnected from our house's network since my room is lined with aluminium, so it cannot keep the signal. Can I buy or make any kind of external antenna to put outside my room, without having to move my computer? -- Regards, Stuart Dennett
