Hi I have a small network of 3 x Win98SE machines and 1 x WinXP SP2 Home machine all connected together using a 3COM ADSL Wireless Router. Connection to the internet via the router works fine with speeds around 50KB/s on a 512k connection. But speeds on the LAN between local PCs are dreadful, generally around the 1-3KB/s. I have checked the TCP registry settings, MTU is 1500, Tcp Receive window

My brother and his wife will soon be moving into a caravan in a field in the middle of Somerset while they build a farm around it. They want to run a business from a website selling their farm produce but have no telephony connections and BT want £20K to set it up for them! My question is, what are their options? They have a good mobile signal. Would a handheld computer of some flavour and...

Is it possible to have, say, 2 wireless laptops that will connect wirelessly with each other in the absence of a router etc? I know there are different modes (ad-hoc, infrastructure) but I don't know if these apply .... What i want to be able to do is have 2 users in the same room, who can 'interact' wirelessly with each other transferring files (Word docs etc) without the need for them to...

'Googling' leads me to believe 100m is the maximum length for a single run of CAT5 network cable. I need to run 50m at least, from one PC to another. Wireless isn't an option due to location and the absolute reliability of connection required. Is 50m of CAT5 likely to cause me any major issues?

Hi! I am trying to access a webdav server on my home computer from the outside world but am running into a few difficulties. I am running Apache, with mod_dav on OS X and have no trouble connecting to this locally. However, I cannot connect from work, or via a web proxy from home. I have a NetGear DG834G router with http being forwarded to my computer.

Home network set-up as follows Modem Linksys wired/wireless router 2 laptops, each wireless-enabled (one internal, one with removable network card) 1 pc, with internal wireless network card This set-up has worked fine for about a year. We just moved house,

Have two XP PC's and a laptop working through a wireless Draytek Vigor 2600Gi router. The W 98 worked fine when on ISDN but can't get it to work with ADSL. Occasionally ojn start up it does work but mostly it doesn't. Switching off Zonealarm is no help. It connects to the router but I am unable to access the router using MIE.

I'm looking in to extending the range of my home network system, currently I have a few dead spots where the WiFi doesn't reach reliably so am thinking of a ' mains ethernet ' system to extend. http://www.rlsupplies.co.uk/Products/Default.asp?type=dept&DepartmentID=57 I feel two plugs would give good flexibility to move my AP point to wherever needed. Two things I am unsure about, it shows as...

I'm trying to help a client out with their home networking setup and would be gratefull if someone could answer the following question: - When connecting a PC to a BT Voyager 200 Router via a USB cable, does this create a dial-up or LAN type network connection on the PC?

Hi. Want to set up a home wireless network - considering Linksys WRT54GSUK wireless-G broadband router & Linksys WMP54G-UK wireless-G PCI adapter. I have only Windows98SE - can anyone advise me if this kit will work with Win98SE? If it won't, any advice about what kit to buy instead? Thanks

I have a customer whose PC is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 1. Does anyone know whether the WG311T (which supports W2K) has any minimum service pack requirements? The Netgear web site and the data sheets just say "Windows 2000" without specifying whether it requires upgrade to a given service pack. Also, do I understand their web site correctly? To get WPA encryption, you need the...

If the main reason you are considering a data warehousing is to get around the difficulties caused by a dysfunctional transaction processing system, do the work of costing how much it will fix the transaction processing system before you make the data warehouse decisionIt may not be surprising that the primary motivation for the construction of many data warehouses is to get around the...

Thanks to the advice received from people here, I'm now almost ready to start, as soon as my Belkin F5D9012uk router/modem arrives. At the point where the BT cable enters the house the IT bloke has gathered together the mass of cables which were sticking out of the wall and connected them (somehow) inside a small grey cabinet on the wall. There are now four computer points by this grey box,...

I appreciate that NAT is not an actual firewall but is supposedly very secure. If you operate a server (or DMZ) behind a NAT router I assume someone with a port scanner would get the address of your router and the open machine. Would this not give them an opening into the local network. Geoff Lane

Hi All, A friend wants to set up a wireless broadband router to share out his NTL Broadband connection to his laptop. He has had some strange information from an installer who couldn't get it to work. I would assume this is a fairly straightforward job? Wireless router such as http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=45023 connected...

Hi I know that port throttling is possible with some Vigor routers, but does anyone know if other manufacturers offer this feature on their routers? All the best Keith

I've not dabbled too much with instant messengers but with relatives dotted over the UK and elsewhere I am now looking in to it, particularly in relation to voice and perhaps, video contact. I know MSM ships with virtually all PCs but has anyone any comments, good or bad, about the others. Has anyone used skype? I've viewed the skype web page and wonder if this is any different to the...

My wireless network is centred around a Belkin ADSL modem/Wireless router, and most of the time works fine. Occasionally, the data light on the router will go out after a period of inactivity. The network still operates, but with no internet access. Usually, when you then open up a browser in one of the computers (an office PC or one of up to three laptops, all with wireless adaptors), the...

"Chris" wrote in message ... I have set up my own ftp server on my home machine. People can access it using the IP address 82.70.254.222 (I think...), but I want to resolve it (I think that's the right word) to the host name ftp.chriswilson.tv , chriswilson.tv being hosted with Gradwell. Other way around: you want...
