I'm an NTL cable modem customer have also posted the following on an NTL discussion group: I am using a Netgear WGR614 wireless router connected to a Motorola Surfboard cable modem. I'm connected to the 1MB service. During the last few days I have noticed that the Internet activity light is flickering away even when none of the networked PCs are switched on. I have also had to reset (power...

I'm from the UK but am going to France for a few months where an ADSL subscription has been purchased from France Telecom complete with the boxed hardware waiting for me to unpack and set up and apparently no one english-speaking there to help. My french is poor so having never used anything other than modem I wonder could someone give me some clues as to what to expect and possible problems...

Hi, I have an ADSL router with an ATMF-25 port on the WAN side and ethernet ports on the LAN side. I'm guessing it was designed for use in another country - but is there any way I can get this to work in the UK? I think that I need some sort of device to transform the ADSL signals into ATM cells, but I'm not sure. The set-up diagram for the router shows a "network terminator" box with both an...

I've been trying to get Wanadoo broadband for four weeks. It took them three weeks to send my ADSL modem, and although they say it should only take 10 days after ordering before activation the line still isn't active. I've called their customer care and technical support lines many many times, and I've been told three separate times that my account has been closed and needs reopening. I've had...

I've had my Pipex account for a few weeks now. Registered for my DSL webspace the other day and am having trouble connecting the the dsl ftp server. I'm connecting from a Windows 2000 PC behind a D-Link 504 modem router. The firewall filtering is off on the D-link hardware. I really can't see anything wrong on my end as I'm able to connect to other FTP sites. I find it strange that I get...

Once you've set up the pipex mailboxex how do you set up outlook express with them its a bit confusing

Hi my internet connection slows down and drops every 5 minutes if i have my tv set on. The tv set is on the other side of the home and does not share any cables/wires with my computer or adsl. It uses an external antenna. I made some tests. When i turn off the tv set, adsl connection works at maximum speed. When i turn it on, adsl slows down and drops in 2/3 minutes.

The net is closing on the Wanadoo spammer For the past few weeks, BTYahoo subscribers have been subject to both a severe delay in receiving e-mail, and an even worse amount of one particular spam e-mail. Today good progress seems to have been made in resolving the issue. http://snipurl.com/6oud --

Hello, I've just got a BT Voyager 200 ADSL Modem/router today and Im having problems. It works fine on my conputer running XP but I cant seem to get it to work with my Laptop which is running Windows 98se. Can anyone help?

Hi, I've recently put in a new motherboard and now when I'm on the net the ADSL connection sometimes switches off for a few seconds then back on (same effect as clicking the 'stop ADS connection' button) ?? There seems to be no pattern as to when it does it, sometimes a few times in a minute sometimes ok for all the time I'm on ( can't remember if it switches off when I'm offline). I'm with...

BT announced today that it is trialling a new wholesale service aimed at service providers that will enable end users to set up voice calls from their telephones using their PCs to select contacts from web-based directories or telephone numbers on web-sites. Users will be able to call to numbers from their phones simply by using their PC mouse and without dialling any digits. Known as Wholesale...

Could anyone advise me of the best way to check to see if the line has been upgraded for ADSL, my exchange is due to come on air this Saturday and was wondering if there is a number or something that checks the line to confirm ADSL is working. Many thanks, Jon

Hi, I have finally decided to install broadband at home. In principle, I could have either cable or ADSL, and while not biased, I think I'd go for cable (Telewest), as I then get the telly channels, phone and what have you. However, there seems to be a clause in all of Telewest's contracts which states that the minimum contract length is 12 months, which is 6 months more than I wish to commit to...

Hello, Will BT launch a 2meg broadband service anytime oris that to much to ask for?

Consumer broadband bills will be itemised from this summer, offering a breakdown of not only the amount of time spent online but also the amount of bandwidth used in individual Web sessions. As the price war for 512Kbps broadband services escalates, itemised billing will help ISPs cut their losses by enabling them to put bandwidth caps on their sub-£20 products and bill for extra capacity. The...
