Hello all I have a linksys WAP11v2.2 wireless access point, I use it with my laptop around the house. With my laptop I can do a scan of the Wifi channels looking to see what networks are available. Is there anyway to do this with my linksys WAP11v2.2. The reason I ask is the linksys has an external aerial, and may well pick up other Wifi that my laptop can not hear. Many thanks

My PC keeps crashing. It says "This shutdown is initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM" "Windows must restart because the Remote Procedure Called (RPC) terminated unexpectedly." I've resinstalled Windows and still it keeps happening. I don't have a firewall installed at the moment, could this be a DOS attack ? Anyone any idea whats going on ?

Hi, I currently have 5 pc's that I want to share between an NTL broadband connection. My question is which would be the best way to connect them all and share the broadband feed?! Would using a router work without setting up ICS, as you would have to do if you were using a standard hub?! I'm thinking that I won't need a broadband router with a built in modem as the STB already acts as that. So...

Hi all I'm torn between going for the newer 54g or the older 11b wireless set up for my impending ADSL home set up. I initially thought I'd pay the extra for the 54g but it is 'significantly' dearer to get everything from scratch for this rather than 11b stuff, which in itself, is quite a bit of outlay that I'm gonna have to convince my 'other half' is necessary for when we get our exchange...

Since I can't get a good wireless signal in my room, I might have to buy a wireless access point to repeat the signal from the router, and put it in a room between my computer and the router. Both my card and the router are Belkin 54g, so I would buy another Belkin product to save any hassles. The question is, why would I buy an access point when a router costs the same price e.g....

Hi I will be able to get adsl in November and am thinking of buying a netgear dg824m wireless router/ap. If I buy this now could I use it just as an AP for my network in infastructure mode and if so whats involved? I currently use ICS for web access and this will continue until BB is available. I currently have 2 laptops, 1 ipaq and a pc all connected adhoc - what I

Hi, Is the Draytek worth the extra money? What can it do that the Speedtouch can't? I'm looking for a router with built in firewall and a built in 4 port switch as I may make use of it in the future. I also might like to use a DynDNS service so inbuilt support for that would be nice.

when running games over a network do you need to share the files on both computers? are there any simple rules to follow when running games over a network? thanks in advance

Hi, I've networked two xp machines to broadband connection via a 4port Etec router/modem and have had no problems with file transfers and gaming between the two over the lan. However the latest game, which we have successfully played over the lan and have both connected independently through the router to the same distant online gamer server, also requires some port settings to be changed to...
