Hi More questions on broadband wireless routers from this broadband newbie. The information I have gathered on wireless security is saying that WPA or WPA2 encryption should be used in preference to the older WEP which is less secure. I am considering BT option 1 (plus £30 extra for the Hub) so downloaded the userguide for the Hub. The guide only mentions that the

I've recently moved to BT broadband from NTL. Wasn't unhappy with the NTL service, I just wanted a cheaper internet connection. Now I've got a BT Home Hub. One of the issues that I have, and BT say is not caused by them, is that I cannot seem to setup a web server that is accessible from the internet. I can see the server on my local network and I've tried setting it to ports other than 80 but...

Can any one recommend a good ADSL modem that we can plug into our hardware firewall. Looking for something reliable over cost.

I am having trouble telling whether that phone cable in my house is twisited. Could somebody leave some links to Twisted and untwisted phone cable. Also what problems i could have with a Untwisted cable.

80kbps all morning. Is this just me? Ken

Hi all Complete broadband newbie so please be gentle. Our one and only ISP (Karoo in Hull) have a starter service which includes a 2Gb download limit (per month presumably). My understanding is that, as you surf, pages that you view are effectively "downloaded" temporarily to your PC. Presumably this traffic counts towards your 2Gb allocation along with any files that you explicitly download...

Does anyone know of a VPN site that has a guest account? I'm trying to test my PC/router/ISP(Nildram) with a VPN connection. It has been working this morning, but now it will not connect properly. Other users are able to connect so I am suspecting my ISP (unless the router has decided to throw a wobly).

Hi I have signed up for Sky BB, router came today. Turns out my Sky email is the username I used to register on the Sky website. It is not the ideal email addy, can this be changed? Thanks

Hi all it's me again lol. For those who didn't got the news, i just wanted to share with you this website which i find great. I can get all the news i need onto 1 single place and my brother even found a job from it. Looks like it pulls the latest Jobs around London. You can even submit your website Free but seems that for the frontpage, you need to pay :-( Cheap ringtones (sexy ringtones as...

Hello ........... I am about to buy an ADSL router that has a firewall built in. DO I still need the software (Kerio) firewall as well please? Thanks Brian (Huddersfield)

Received my Sky router today. In it they include a cd rom. Is this for proprietary connection software? I use Vista so it may or may not install. Don't really want to setup any dialling software in the style of BTYahoo.

What (if any) type of email account do Sky provide with their ADSL service? Is it pop3 etc?

That's one of the options when you call Virgin Media :o)

(I'm migrating from Namesco to Sky and my direct debit was taken around about 5th of each month. I requested migration about 21st February).......... This is what I sent to Namesco as a query..... I have just paid £15 for cancellation of my ADSL service within 12 months AND £24.95. I understand the £15, but if I was paying in advance shouldn't the £24.95 I paid at the beginning of February...

Been with Virgin on 8megADSLMax since September and although it started reasonably poorly, its went well downhill since then... Speed can get as low as dialup at peak times, but the one thing that is steady is PING times to ANYWHERE on the net of 240ms plus... For me, playing online games (Americas Army) is now impossible. Even as late as this, 11.23 at night, I cannot get a server with a ping...

Hi, I have a Zoom X5v ADSL modem configured to forward outside connections on port 22 to a machine on my internal network. This configuration works fine, except that idle SSH sessions time out (as in just stop sending packets - no TCP FIN appears) after a minute. This behaviour doesn't appear on outbound connections, nor on connections within the internal network. I suspect the modem's...

We need upsteam bandwidth of above 1mb, so would like to bond two 8mb ADSL Max lines together. Does anyone have any suggestions of suppliers of bonded lines?

It is no use complaining here about ISP which do not live up to their advertised claims, go To the Advertising Standards Authority who have a lot more clout than newsgroups. It is best to have an absolutely waterproof tale for them. http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/how_to_complain/ The Advertising Standards Authority works to keep advertising legal, decent, honest and truthful. The ASA resolves...
