Is anyone who uses Seem.co.uk to provide domain name redirection having problems with redirection sometimes failing? I'm currently "discussing" with them and my ISP as to why e-mails are getting bounced. I just want to know whether anyone else is having the same problem or it's just me! Cheers, Paul DS

We've bridged ethernet and wireless lan cards under windows xp, bridge is working fine, but is there a program to limit traffic or even disable it that's going to another computer behind the bridge on ethernet network, strange thing is that some programs for network monitoring example DUMeter or BWMeter aren't even aware of traffic that's going throught the bridge computer, it's only aware of...

Hi, Is it possible to connect to the DG834G's VPN server without using Netgear's own client? I can get bits and pieces of a response by using the native XP Pro client, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing as my knowledge of the ins and outs of VPN protocols is pretty much zero. Cheers - Ian

I have a part wired and part wireless LAN setup 'ad-hoc' with some PC's running XP Pro and some running XP Home. Where can I find setup instructions to access one pc from another using the Remote Desktop Connection. Is this even possible. Many thanks.

I recently bought a Zyxel 660H router as we are due to get ADSL tomorrow or the next day. I bought it on the strength of a Zyxel 334 router that I had already bought in anticipation of Wireless Broadband which has yet to arrive after never-ending delays. Both these routers have a facility called "Traffic Redirect" which reroutes requests from the router (as default gateway on the subnet) to an...

Hi I will be visiting the US to do some PC shopping I'd like to buy a wireless router. It seems like netgear seem to have the same models as the US like the WGR614, linksys don't seem to offer the BEFSR41 on their US site. My home connection is DSL (512) using an Alcatel speedtouch 330 modem. Currently the modem has one cable which connects to phone line (rj45)

I am having problems setting up a wireless network, I have a BT Voyager 2100 wireless ADSL router, a sony vaio laptop (wireless enabled) which runs windows xp home and a desktop pc running windsows xp proffesional into which i have just fitted a bt voyager 1040 pci wireless adaptor. both laptop and pc will access the internet via the router but i cannot seem to get them to find one another. i...

Hi, I got a cheap switch from a fair a while back - cheap because the outer casing is a bit damaged, but it is in a cupboard so who cares? Anyway, this switch is a 24 port switch, and has two fans on it, which are a bit noisy to be onist. My main question is does such a switch use more power than say a 12 port switch with no fans? I am never going to use all 24 ports. Thanks.

Hi, I have a mobo with two ethernet ports and a wireless card. I want to route most traffic for my internal network via one ethernet, all external traffic via the other ethernet and one particular connection via wireless. I remember long ago doing this using Vi to edit the routing tables on Unix boxes but I'm sure there's a nice shiny gui toy to do the hard work for me

My actiontec wireless router (802.11g, wt701-g, supplied by qwest with dsl service) is causing interference in my phone. It is worst in my wireless phone (900Mhz, Uniden) - With that phone it is sometime very hard to hear. However - I also have an old-school rotary dial phone (baby blue, made by bell-labs in the late 70's) The actiontect causes interference on this phone /even if it isn't...

Or rather re-setting it up after we went broadband and my ISDN router wasn't suitable for our wireless/satellite system. The XP wireless network wizard asks you to put a flash drive into the PC which I do. It then says to put this into the wireless access point. My WAP doesn't have a USB connection, so where do I go from here?

Looking for recommendations for wireless access point and USB adaptor for my laptop. As I will not be using too often, I am looking for best value for money. TIA

Hi all, I've got some cat5 cable stuff to sort out at my house. Basically, in terms of physical routing, the idea is to have it going over the roof from the front to back of the house and then into one of the rooms through an already created pipe for cables. Main concern is issues with lightening etc. and other bad weather causing damage or problems.

Hi, I can't find a solution for this anywhere! I have a Netgear DG834GT Router. I can connect to my router and I can also ping my router. When I put a web address in the Diagnostics page and get the IP of the address, I can go to the address using that IP in a web browser. However, if I just type http://www.google.com - it doesn't work!

Hi I'm going to have a go at setting up VPN at my Office where I've got a Windows XP machine connected to a 3COM ADSL Wireless Router. I've asked my ISP to allocate a block of 4 IP addresses and I've had a look at "Windows XP Inside Out" by Ed Bott which has a chapter devoted to allowing remote access via a Virtual Private Network. I can see that I'll come unstuck setting up both the Router...

Just replaced my dodgy old 10/100 switch with a D-Link DGS-1008D 8 port 10/100/1000 switch. However my new switch and my existing wireless access point, a D-Link DWL-2000AP+ refuse to talk to each other. I have no problems with any other connections to the new switch and the WAP doesn't have any problems with communicating with the old switch. Any ideas what the problem is?

Not that I need to do this, but if an IP address range only has 254 useable addresses, (192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254)... How does an organisation with more than 254 computers connect them to the network? Cheers John

Is there an easy way to insert the 8 wires from cat5 cabling into the rj45 plug prior to crimping, im finding it a nightmare !!! tia Richard

Hi all, Any help appreciated. My wifes office has a small network installed by a company who have now gone bust and as such are not able to support them. I have a very limited knowledge of networking (only what I have taught myself) and I now want to gain access to their network to do a bit of support for them.
