I have reason to change the MAC address of my LAN (PCI Network Card)... to something different to avoid a clash on the network with a MAC address already established. The computer is running Windows XP. Does anyone know how to override or change the existing MAC address to a new one? I aonly need to change the last number from 7 to 8 and that should do the trick. This is required due to...

Hi, I have a rather simple question. On a network card there are two LED's representing the existance of a link and internet activity. I am troubleshooting my network. More precise, there's a device which is misbehaving so I am trying to identify the problem. When I connect to internet while NOT using a device - 1st LED is always green and constant. The 2nd LED is blinking. So I assume the...

Wireless network, using a laptop with a 54g PC card and a 54g router (and other PCs) Had a HDD crash on the laptop last week and had to reinstall. Got the network back up nd running OK. Then after a few days, I got the automatic update to reinstall SP2, which I did. Since then, it seems not to be retaining the network key for more than a few minutes. The network will suddenly become...

hi brother has an adsl modem/router, we set it up two weeks ago between a Laptop and desktop and its worked ok. This morning when he left for work it was still ok but when he returned it had dropped the connection, I have checked all the pc connections and they are okay.

Hi Folks, I recently purchased a Linksys WAG354G I have a house of modern(ish) construction (circa 1984) but it does have that nasty double skinned plasterboard with the aluminium foil stuff within the interior walls - which seemed to give me grief before when I used my Buffalo wireless router. (At least I think this stuff is partly to blame)

hi, If I fitted a wireless 802.11g USB network adaptor dongle to my PC and one to my laptop would this be sufficient to form a wireless network? This is my first attempt at networking and am trying to learn as best I can. I think I understand the principle of a router, and the need to have a Ethernet modem to connect to it and then any other device with wifi built in or network USB dongle...

I have had a wireless network set up between a laptop and my PC which has worked smoothly for a couple of weeks. Today when I booted up the laptop I got the message "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you into the network " on top of my sys tray icon which now has a yellow triangle and exclamation mark on it! Now the laptop can't access the internet. I browsed about and discovered...

I have an Epson C900 colour laser on one PC, when I print to it from a networked PC it takes ages just to be able to select it. I click print and select it from the list and I am presented with the hour glass before I can click OK to send the doc. This morning it took 13 minutes, the document file size was about 40k, the PCs are a P3 1gig (win98) and a P4 1.5gig(XP) Any ideas how I can speed...

Is it possible to set up a wireless connection with an existing dial up internet account? If yes, what hardware would you recommend. Ideally I would need a modem/router and two USB wireless adaptors, running on Win98SE. Thanks

Folks I live in a granite cornish barn and the wifi signal is poor - too many beams, walls etc. Also we have a belkin WAP which I believe aint the best. We are using safecom cards which are very good though. Will decent aerial(s) get round this poor reception? I also need to propogate the signal to our annexe which about 40 feet from the main building.

Hi, 1. Anyone know of dealers for these products in London (apart from SEG)? 2. Just how good are they compared to the cheaper models from Linksys/Belkin etc. I'm asking as the SEG website says their forums are not for asking such questions (if they are even operational)and there seems to be a
