Hi, When my Netgear DG814 died last week, I replaced it with a DG834. I got it set up and it connects to the Internet just fine. However, I can no longer see any of the other 3 PC's in the Workgroup. This means I cannot share the printer nor acccess the shared folder we have. I spoke to Netgear Support who said "No problem, just go into the router settings and tick the box for "Disable Port...

Apologies that this is slightly off topic, but I want to re-use my colleague's BT Pay-as-you-go account that's expired from not being used. Does anyone know how to reactivate an existing dial-up user id.? What's happening at the moment is that BT allows us to connect but won't transmit and traffic. I want him to use it because he's having difficulties with his ADSL service and as his...

Hi I am attempting to administer my daughters Linksys WAG354G modem remotely. The manual is quite vague. Any help would be appreciated. Manual says: The Administration Tab / The Management Tab

Uk.media.tv.sky, uk.tech.tv.sky Uswitch: Lists free Sky Broadband as best option for postcode, then Sky refuse to supply My friend went to uswitch.com to find the best value broadband for her area.

OK I've already read the posts that say AOL is getting out of the UK Broadband market but, despite these rumours they are still promoting their broadband packages. I presume they are doing this so they can sell their business to another ISP. I'm in a quandry. Because I Live in a remote area I only have the choice of BT or AOL. I am currently with BT but I have found I can get unilmited access...

Would this be because you want to restrict the access level this user has to the internet ? If so, this isn't a good way to do it. Anyone with reasonable computer

Hi My daughter flatmate uses her Linksys modem connected via rj11 cable. She has kindly offered to share her broadband with my daugther and other flatmates. Unfortunately she does not know her WEP key and cannot log in to Admin to set new wep key, Admin and Admin do not work, presumably she has changed it at some time.

Hi, Does the new BT HOME HUB (white box) work with standard BT Broadband or would I need to upgrade my package to BT TALK or simular? Thx

Hi folks BT Broadband was fine till their router packed up so I brought a Netgear. Although I can get this to connect 2.272mb/s I can't get to any web sites. I can however connect to a neighbours wireless BB, (not sure which isp they are on) and get web sites fine. Is there something different about BT BB that I'm missing... like will it only work with their router? Or their ghastly btyahoo...

The V21 website now sports Biscit T&C's in place of the previous V21 terms. Under 6 Term and Termination it includes something about a £70 termination fee and £35 for a migration code. Was Previously £30. I believe the old terms used to include a clause allowing them to amend the terms with either 7 or 14 days notice by posting the amended terms on their...

I realise I'll get no sympathy ! But I migrated to Talktalk £10 per month service at the beginning of the week. (plus transferred to Talktalk line rental) my exchange is not unbundled. I had been on a 512k offering with Talktalk for over a year without any problem (except the news server kept dying). Now my voip phone can't connect to sipgate server anymore, and I can't access sipgate...
