Hi I have a Sky Netgear router DG834gt which keeps disconnecting and I have to re-boot the router everytime I turn the machine on... it then works perfectly until I switch off. The firmware is version V1.02.28 ~ is there an upgrade... I have tried the 3 upgrades shown on the Netgear support page but when I try to instal them they say its not valid. (I previously had a netgear router and used...

Been asked by a friend about Talk-Talk BB and the modem that gets supplied. Looked at their site but cannot find straight answers to the questions. Does anyone here know the answers to the bits below? 1- If you do not buy the 'optional' modem pack at £29.99, do you still get filters sent or do you have to buy separately? 2- What make/model is the modem they refer to? Is it really special or...

Hi, can anyone tell me if i can by netgear wireless router or any other brand and use it on BT Business Broadband. Is it quite simple or there going to be capatibility issues or complications. At the moment i am using a BT Vogeger 220V Wired router. I want to replace that with a wireless router that i can pick up from most high street shops. Thanks, Ryan

Hi, Is it possible to connect to the ntl 250 router and configure it? I used to be able to connect to my BT router via a web browser, at address 192.168.1.1 (if i remember correctly), but this doesn't work with the ntl router. My connection is OK, I just want to stop amulebeing firewalled.

Yesterday saw another Openreach begging letter sent by it's CEO 'Steve Robertson' who famously blundered within a few days of his appointment by describing Openreach as an organisation that looked after the 'Last Mile of copper' to the customers premesis. The letter was sent to most Openreach staff but aimed mostly at it's already demoralised engineers. It basically is telling engineers how...

I just noticed Tiscali prices dropped again, so it is time to do your "upgrade" to save your few quid a month! Since Tiscali don't auto change your price, or email their customers, I thought I would remind you! Bob

hello all. I need your help. I work on a Mac with NTL cable broadband. I have recently fitted an Airport Card and purchased a Netgear wireless cable router. For a day it worked perfectly, i just plugged it in and the card found the network and off it went, However when i turned all my plugs off overnight and rebooted the next

Does anybody know whether NTL offer a static ip address, if requested? I don't mind paying extra for it, but NTL tell me that they cannot do this for me 'for technical reasons'. (I have the 10meg consumer package). Many thanks for any help. Regards

I need to completely block connectivity to specific user accounts. I know that with a domain controller one can do this, but this is a workgroup network. There are some 3rd party add-on which can do this, but I wonder if there is a way to do it within windoze. I can do parts of it, by changing that user to Admin privileges, logging in as the user, then using secpol.msc etc to...

Firstly, apologies if this one's a FAQ. Unfortunately I can't access the group's FAQ to avoid shooting myself in the foot :-( Anyway. For (goodish) reasons I won't bore you with, I've currently got both BT and cable broadband connections. BT goes via a D-Link DSL-G604T wireless router (with 4 Ethernet ports) , Telewest via their own cable modem (Motorola SB5100), which has one Ethernet and...

I just got a phone call from a non computer literate friend who has had the standard TalkTalk modem installed by their so called computer whiz kid nephew. The various line checking sites suggest that their line should support about 3Mb on a MAXED connection, but Windows XP reports a line speed of 1MB when they connect. The friend was warned not to do so but the lure of "free" broadband was...

Hi all, Sorry if this is OT but i have 3 customers who are all having 15-20messages a day starting off "Undeliverable Mail returned to Sender" or "Delivery status failure" etc and these are messages that APPEAR to have been sent from these PC's but in fact wern't. If for example the users domain is then the returned messgae will be from for something...
