Hi All, I was around a mates the other evening and their nephew came round with his Dell laptop and suggested he was still connected to his neighbours WiFi network (not his own strangly) some 1/3 of a mile away (acording to my GPS mapping software and as the crow flies)? This was across a pretty std new housing estate .. was it likely? If not he was probably conneced to (and using) someone...

Evening all Quick question (on behalf of my sister) - does Nildram support outwards migration via MAC? Looking to go from a Nilram Surf500 to a Plusnet Premier 2MB. It looks like she will be hit for a £14.99 regrade fee but have I missed any other additional charges etch. Cheers

Hi, Looking to get a wifi game adapter with WPA security for my Xbox. I'm getting mixed messages on whether the WGE111 has WPA or not. Some newgroup posts suggest it has, but many retail/review sites don't mention it. Even the manual which I downloaded from the latest firmware page on the Netgear site doesn't mention WPA. So, has it got it or not? And if so, why are Netgear keeping so quiet...

We are in the process of setting up a network ready to go broadband. This is between a Mac and a PC with a Belkin router/modem. The Mac is talking to the router with no problems, but when we try to access the management page of the router we can't. Does anyone know why? Do we have to wait until we get the broadband information in? Is there a way round this? Thanks Jules

OK, so up to now Tiscali have pretty much delivered what I have been paying for, but recently (in particular since they upgraded all their 512k customers to 1mbit) the service has gone down the pan in my estimation. I have been testing the bandwidth regularly over the past few weeks and the average of my 1mbit connection is 250kbps, which is around a quarter of what it should be and not...

Hello I am still trying to decide which ISP is likely to be right for me. Having just had a query on my LL bill from BT I suffered at the hands of their "Overseas" call centre for considerable periods of time getting nowhere I have decided that I do not want an ISP under any circumstances who has or will have an overseas help line - either free or at my expense. So I rang my ISP (dial up) tonight...

Hi Is it a problem that some modems lock up when high data rates pushed through it. Have a 2Mb line and maybe 3 Usenet connections going at 60Kb/s each and then web browsing with occasional download. After about 15 mins router locks up, and then does it again immediately after a switch on/off so once warmed up seems to be a constant problem. Just web browsing is OK. Have another router (SEG...

I have a broadband connection to the internet which is usually on all day. How do I disconnect from the internet without switching off the computer? I'm having problems with noise on the line when I'm using the phone and until I get it fixed I have to turn off the computer everytime I use the phone. TIA Lizzie

Hi Anyone able to offer a suggestion here? My cousin just got Tiscali broadband. Had lots of problems with other phones connected at other sockets but finally got to testing with just the pc/phone connected via 1 filter and nothing else plugged in.

http://www.plus.net/residential/broadband/broadband_home_features.shtml I was looking at the above page and just realised PlusNet don't offer SMTP for people going on their £14.99 Plus packages Has this always been the case or a change in the last few days? They don't block any ports ...right? So I can still use windows software that does MX look ups or my web hosting company's SMTP server...

I'm currently using an ISDN connection, but Broadband will finally be coming to this part of Wales in a couple of months. With my ISDN connection we subscribe to BT's Home highway and our ISP is Demon. We have three separate numbers for the phone, the fax and the ISDN internet connection. We can use any two of the three at the same time, but if, for instance, someone was faxing me while I...

Therefore if you use up too much of either...
