My present faceplate has the BT Piper logo, but between it and the line, there is another terminal block. It is about 2-3/4 inches X 1-1/2 inches, slightly rounded in shape. I think it was the original terminal before BT added the 'new' faceplate. If I were to 'legally' fit a new faceplate, could I replace the present one, seeing that there is another block before the outside line? Allan

hi i have a d link dsl 300t ethernet adsl modem, and i cant seem to access its setup pages. the manual tells u to plug it in, and type its ip into iexplore, but i just get the message "web page unavalible whilst offline" also if i set my tcp/ip settings to "automaticly detect ip address" i get the bubble kindly informing me that i have limited or no conectivity. So i have set the ip, subnet mask...

Is there any electrical difference between a "central splitter" which is connected to the master socket with two outlets one giving adsl and the other giving a "clean feed" to ALL the other phones in the house, and a normal splitter as given with a broadband router? Is there any reason why I should not install a single ordinary (good quality) splitter at the master socket and then use its...

The web is unusable tonight - pages are loading more slowly than i recall they used to on a 14.4 modem connection! I have logged into the BT Test page, and get a speed of 1873kbps, so i guess the problem is not my own network (tracert to router confirms that) but that of Plusnet. Logging into Google groups and Plusnet's own portal was like wading through treacle with lead weights attached to...

Hi all, new to this forum after doing a bit of research on the dreaded Plusnet service! Now is it just me that is still restricted on my usenet allowance after 00:00 when its supposed to be "free". Its now 00:27 and im gettin 0.84kbps. SERIOUSLY thinking about jumping ship - fast! I have mailed Plusenet but they have given the "we're currently not experiancing any problems" rubbish. Btw i have a...

Virgin offers a 512kbps (3gb monthly limit) with a wireless router for £70 set-up and £14.99. Seems like a good deal to me. Just a quick sanity check - is that a good deal? It is for a relative who will not be in the least bit demanding (very light user) and is on a limited budget.

Hi, Im thinking about buying a WL-500G Wireless Access Point Router as I am buying an asus notebook and this will be cheap if bought together. My problem is that I am on Cable (NTL) and they dont recomend any routers so I have no idea what kind of wirless router to buy. I know and ADSL modem one will be no good but what about this one? If any of you are on NTL and already have a wireless router...

HI A non-newsgroup-savvy friend of mine (yes - honestly !) has a Broadband connection through Pipemedia (who now seem to have morphed into something called 'Legend'). He's been having terrible reliability problems for some months now - which the ISP claimed was a local problem with his BB router (supplied by them). He's returned the router, they've lost it, and now 'rediscovered' it - a week...

Has anyone had trouble with wanadoo server connecting through a BT line . i.e. cutting off while emailing. Ann

Hi, Which of the technologies (VPN or VNC) can be used for debugging a software in a hardware board (Hardware board is more than 2000 KM away). Which of the above two technologies will enable me to port a software / operating system into a hardware from a remote place ? Could someone tell me advantages / disadvantages of VNC and VPN w.r.t

I'm due to be conected to Pipex on the 19.04.2006. what are the chances of being connected before then?

I just want to make sure that i have the following information correct I have a Netgear DG834Gv2 modem router Does routers that support DHCP such as above, give out ip addresss to computers based on which one was the first to connect to it following a reboot of the router, if so does the router assign ip addresses based on the MAC address of the computer that connects to it? I have gone into...

Evening Everyone! Would somebody be kind enough to calculate the amount I can download an hour with a 4mb connection, with 448 upstream. Assume conditions are perfect, I just want to know the maximum. I know this never actually happens, and many factors effect the speed etc etc. I just want to compare the "maximum" with my "actual" speed.

I took a new broadband connection.....like to know wht is the normal amount of downloaded data if i browse for 4 hours daily.....

How long do ISP's have to give you a Migration code? Clive

Fast 24 provide me with my (very good) broadband connection. I am getting tired of their help desks though as their numbers are eternally engaged and have been for the last 10 days. Is somethoing going on there I wonder and does anybody have a way of talking to them on phone lines that work? Any help welcome John

Had an email from Plusnet this morning saying my product had changed name, but more importantly they are kickstarting the upgrades. I will upgraded to adsl max up to 8mb in the coming months. They don't give a time frame or upgrades, anybody know if there is a set time frame for this?

Hi all, you anyone tell me if there are any good providers out there taking orders for adsl max yet as BT don't seem to mention it yet? Many Thanks
