In message , Tx2 writes My guess is that it's because i'm using CAT5, but my home network throughout, will only connect to a gigabit switch at 100Mbps, not 1000. The NIC's are certainly gigabit capable, and the network 'flies' at 100Mbps.

Hi Trying to sort out a problem on a HP laptop. Router is a Wireless Belkin 1001UK which is working 100% The laptop will not connect to the internet. Wireless networks connection dialogue box reports the connection requires a network key (wpa) but also shows the connection 'Connected'. Pressing the disconnect button results in the connection searching for a network, finding the

Just started using wifi for the first time and im using my laptop a lot in my bedroom to stream and watch divx and dvd vobs/ifos. Im using standard xp shared folders to stream from. Trouble is its stuttery every so often on divx/xvid and constantly with vobs/ifo's. I increased the stream amount in WMP from the default 5 secs to 20 and that helped alot with the divx/xvid but no matter how...

can you run more than one pc from a socket with some sort of doubler? if not can you spur from one socket to another? may seem basic questions but we are just sorting a very small network TIA Mark

My Acer Aspire 3003 laptop works fine when connected using the inbuilt Ethernet port for all applications including FTP uploads using SmartFTP or a an FTP program built into some application software I have. When I fit a Netgear WG511T Cardbus card this works fine for browsing and email. However, if I try to use an FTP program such as Smart instead of the Ethernet card neither of the FTP programs...

Has anyone managed to connect a printer to the USB socket of the hub yet? If so how? thanks

Hi, Someone has asked me to recommend a wireless router to be used with one laptop via an NTL cable connection. She went to Curry's and they told her that she would also have to purchase security software to stop other people from using her connection. I was under the impression that ALL routers came equipped with WEP/WPA encryption as standard. I would appreciate clarification on this, and some...

Hello - first post. I'm having trouble with slow wifi conections. I have a (Sky) netgear DG824GT router. Linksys WPC54GX card in laptop (toshiba satellite 2430, 2.5Ghz p4 512 Ram etc) Symptoms as follows: 1. Wired Ethernet connection download speeds are consistently 6 - 7 mbps (on 8mbps service).

I've just been lent a netgear DG834 to play with, but through haste to configure it as a temporary replacement for the router I usually use for secondary nat (quickest way to try it out) I am at a total loss over how to persuade it to change LAN IP/subnet. I try to tell it that I require it to live at (say) 10.96.98.10 255.255.255.0 and the javascript autoresponse (which actually I think...

Hello all, I've got a question that i hope one of you might help me with. I've got a wired network setup using a cable modem connected to a Linksys (BEFSR41W) router. My setup is as follows: PC1 (Win98 SE) has 2 nics, nic1 is connected to the router so i can connect to the internet. Nic2 is connected to PC2 (WinXP) with crossover cable so i can

I have an IBM R50e laptop which has an Intel 2200 b/g Wi Fi chip-set. When I turn it in (or come out of standby/hibernation) it takes an age to connect to my Netgear WAP. Net Stumbler picks up the signal straightaway but I have to open the Intel Wi Fi manager app, turn it off nd on, select a profile and reset its parameters and after 5 minutes or so I get connected. Once its connected it...

A couple of problems .... I just cannot seem to access my router remotely. I have a Linksys WRT54G router and have remote accesss enabled on 8080. I have been to ip:8080 but it just wont let me log in. Do I just goto myip:8080 and it should log in or is there more? I have also setup a VNC server on my mac mini which is on the network. In the apps and games section, I have set it up to open...

Hi Group, I'm very interested in this type of networking, basically it solves all my problems at once. I've tried wireless at home and though I've had some success, it's too unreliable. It is surprising given that my house was constructed quite recently, but I guess Wi-fi was not on the developers' minds! Basically there is a range of products which I think gives me the best of both worlds,...

I have a wifi network in my house, all computers have an IP assigned by the router 192.168.1.x etc etc. I would like to connect 2 of the computers together via ethernet so they can transfer files faster. So I've connected Computer A(PC) to computer B(Mac) with a cross over cable. The mac gets assigned 169.254.128.236, the pc gets assigned 169.254.170.29. So when I'm on the mac I can now...

Belkin have just sent me a new one of these to replace an old one with dubious firmware. But I feel as though I've just jumped from frying pan to fire..... The problem I see is that the unit doesn't seem to have its own wlan mac address - it appears to just copy one (maybe the first seen) from the lan. The effect is that provided the box is connected by a wire, it can be accessed; as soon...

I've got a Netgear DG834GT wireless router down stairs but PCs are upstairs on other side of house. Connection between PC and router is not very good. Thinking of fitting a 7dB high gain antenna (various ones on market, haven't yet decided which one). Before I slip out my credit card, just want to know if this is a worthwhile investment. Moving the router is not an option, nor is moving...

I have a Belkin Wireless G Router working fine. I've installed Windows XP + Service Patch 2 on a PC and when I plug the USB antenna it's asking for the Belkin CD - which I cannot find :-( I've rumaged around on the Belkin website but can only see stuff for the router itself. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi, a friend of mine asked me what router should she get. She uses BT as ISP and needs it to be wireless. She had dlink and it started going crazy on her changing values on its own etc. Long time ago I got a 3 com and it's working really well except that it doesn't like Mac's. She just needs a router, that won't hang and has wireless connection. And ideas what should I suggest her to get...
