I have set the network card address to 192.168.7.2 as per the instructions. If I type this address into my browser it tries to dial out on my ordinary modem. I am sure I am doing something obviously wrong. Please could someone tell me how to get it to look at the network card? TIA -- Regards from Peter Crosland Website www.petercrosland.plus.com

Hi, I wonder if anyone could give advice on where to place my microfilters. At the present time, my phone line comes into the house through the front, with a single phone socket on the wall. Out of this I have an extension cable which serves my internet connection to the study, which is upstairs. This extension also houses the Sky Digital TV connection (which I can remove).

My exchange is being enabled in April. So I'm currently trying to figure out a decent supplier to go with. With reliability being the biggest criteria I'm looking for, the next on the list is SPAM filtering. I am currently with Freeserve dial-up and have been for 5 years or so but the amount of SPAM I receive every day now is beyond a joke. I easily get about 60 - 70 per day. It's driving me...

My exchange goes live in two weeks - Woo! I've just preordered Home ADSL 1Mb from PlusNet - Yey! I'm going to order a Netgear DG834 Modem/Firewall/Router - Hoopla! One question that still vexes me is whether to keep the default dynamic IP address or to enable the Static IP support (at no extra charge)? I have heard that static IPs can be a disadvantage if you suffer from DOS attacks or hackers...

As I mentioned yesterday, I have had a check carried out on your line and I have since had the results back, however I would like to take this opportunity to explain a few things that may help clear up any confusion. In September/October time of last year, we had been trialling a new system which was used to measure lines to see if they would be able to support ADSL - this was not trialled on...

Hi I have just ordered the 1 Meg upgrade to my standard Pipex home account. I was just wondering if anyon had experience of how long these things normally take to happen?

Hi Folks Some help please, I'm currently using a btopenworld connection with a USB modem connecting to a wall socket marked v1.0 (no micro filters) I'm trying to get rid of the frog and use a Netgear WGT624 wifi router. I seem to have got the PC and router working together well they can see each other anyway but I can't connect the router to the internet.

I have just got B/B with Tiscali. My problem is that I have the (safely remove hardware ) icon in my system tray. If I click it will remove the modem. Is this normal or what. I dont think this should be there?????Thx
