Crossover or straight through cable? by MM
My nephew reckoned that most modern ADSL gateways sense the kind of cable attached and switch themselves accordingly. Is he right? I ask because I've received the Zen hardware already (activation due Friday), but the cable they supplied may be a little short. I do, however, have a longer crossover cable that currently connects between two PCs. MM

Minimum requirement to run web servers by kevin bailey
Hi, I am looking at hosting a couple of very low use web servers which act as project servers at my new office. This should be no problem with a decent quality service from Demon as I have carried out a similar setup before. However, I may need to run busier web servers as well and I'd prefer to run them at the office as well.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6914492.stm In the trial, many of those who blame masts for their symptoms reported greater distress when they thought the signal was on, suggesting the problem has a psychological basis. What they are not telling you in the above is that many health problems have a psychological *component*. There is no way of telling from their

New phone ring by NH
Just a silly little query. Since my line was changed over to DSL Max last week my phones now ring differently, one single ring with long pauses between instead of the usual double ring. Is this normal? I know its not that important, just curious.

exchange congestion by David Horne
I've probably mentioned this before, but what is the point of an ETA fix for congestion at an exchange when those times are constantly missed, then revised? Manchester Central has had the following: "BT is reporting that some of the virtual paths at this exchange are not operating within BT Wholesale's planning guidance, although they are still operating within the product specification."

ADSL VPN Router Recommendation? by BJH
Hi I've used 3COM, Draytek 2900 and a Netgear DGFV338 routers, with both the Draytek and the Netgear I have successfully set up a VPN connection. I found the Draytek to be relatively simple to set up as a VPN server, but the Netgear was, for me, a real pain. Draytek suppport was non-existent (other than the forum) where Netgear was absolutely first class, but then I needed it!

Please Virgin can I have my 10mb line back by Resident Drunk
Since the upgrade the performance has been awful. I am currently getting 36k/s download speed compared with the stable 1200k/s I had before the 'upgrade'. The only reason I pay 30 odd pounds per month is because I am some distance from an telephone exchange, at the moment though I would be better with a 2mb line from Sky.
