Is the BT Broadband voice service good enough to use a fax machine on. Either in 9ks or 14.4k modes. I could just buy the fax and try it, but Argos might not take to kindly to me testing my line with their goods.

Hi guys, I have three websites on the Deenine network - www.cbams.net www.yggwyr.swansea.sch.uk www.wrenvalenurseries.co.uk Other broadband networks can see them, however neither I nor my clients can see the websites. All of use are using a Force9 broadband account.

I have been trying to get a BB connection for some 7 weeks now and my ISP has arranged three appointments for BT to do a managed connection from ISDN to ADSL. Each time BT has failed to turn up giving the excuse that they could not fit in their schedule in spite of my ISP checking prior to the time. The third time was to have been today, but when they checked with BT it now appears that...

Hi, I am in a university setting and would like to use Gossiptel Xten lite client. However, my Uni blocked all of the ports. I have success getting my IM to work using HTTP tunnel. However, can I setup Xten Lite client to use the http tunnel services using SOCKS5 configuration settings? Thank you.

I am moving to BT phone from NTL. Rang NTL to say I want to disconnect the Cable TV and BB (Set top box) and move to Sky+. Was told that they can supply me with Cable modem, free wiring and as a "new" customer, 3 months half price at whichever speed I want. On their 700k speed, this works out at £22ish per month. Is this a good offer or should I move to an ADSL ISP. Only problem I have is that...

Hello All, I am soon to go on ADSL via Pipex solo 500 (currently on dial-up) does any one have an opinion on their service etc..... -- Regards Ron...........

Hello, I have set up a friend's desktop with a BT USB Voyager 1010 by copying the SSID, encryption, channel etc etc settings taken from a laptop which connects to the Internet successfully via the BT 1250 router. But! Although the Voyager pannel indicates that it is "connected" and that the signal is "good", I cannot get onto the Internet using Internet Explorer.

Anyone know of a program that will measure how much data I up & download over a month? I'm not on a capped service but my ISP has just offered a 1MB line rate with a 3GB cap limit for the same price I'm paying now on my uncapped 512k Just a thought, I use a router for my three pc's, would I have to install the prog on all three pc's and total the three? One pc is rarely used and another is...

Moving to Linlithgow soon, did a check on the exact Postcode and the Telewest and NTL sites say no digital services and no broadband. But samknows says yes Linlithgow HAS cable broadband. I look on the linked multimap and it shows the very next street as having cable. Is it so tied down to postcodes? Another thing is the house I'm moving to doesn't appear on the post code database, I just...

When you subscribe to a plusnet package with a monthly gigabyte allowance does this allow you to use peer to peer and newsgroups or do you have to subscribe to the premier packages to get peer to peer and newsgroups. If one does choose the lite package over the premier can you see how much data you have transferred since you have last been billied? Thanks in advance du.

I have inherited a 'BT' 2Wire 1800 ADSL router left over from a 2Mbit upgrade (we used some decent kit instead!). The router is fine for home use and has a built-in Wireless Access Point. According to the 2Wire Web site all their 1800s have a 54Mbit Wireless Access Point but I can only connect at 11Mbit. Can anyone confirm the right spec? Does BT supply 'older' or 'knobbled' ones? Ta

After waiting eight days for the postman to bring my Wanadoo broadband gear and wireless pack, I rang them - and was told there had been such a rush on them they had run out and I would have to wait another week.

*Silly bit of fun question* So with all the ISPs that people have been through today. What were/are you faves? :)

My setup: * Broadband wireless router connected via cable to my "main" pc. Works fine, can surf the web. * Have laptop with the wireless card, that cannot surf the web. When running the networking wizard in XP, I am confused as to which profiles to select: Do both computers connect via a hub

Thanks to everyone who suggested things I should try to get my daughter's PC to connect to my home wireless network. But no success. :-( I have a Belkin wireless router/modem, serving three PCs - two desktops and a laptop. They're all running Windows XP (one vanilla, one SP1 and one SP2). Everything was fine until I had to re-install my daughter's desktop PC. Ever since I have been unable to...
