BT are being suprisingly honest on their website about the limitations of their satellite offering. They say the long time delay to/from the satellite causes...

I have just switched from ISDN to broadband and have bought a Netgear 108 Mbps wireless Firewall Router (WGT624) and a Netgear ADSL Modem (DM602) to allow me to connect 3 computers to the Internet, 1 using a wireless connection. I also have an existing Netgear 8 port switch. I want to setup the following network: 2 PC's connected to 8 port switch (as they currently are) Router connected to 8...

I have just installed Broadband at home which works fine. The only problem I have is that when I try to automatically download the updated virus files from Norton the PC looks for a dial up connection and as there isn't one can't complete the transmission. Just wondered if anyone had experience of this and a work around? Thanks in advance

Let's say that I was to go house-hunting. A nice house that I find may be in an acceptable postcode area for ADSL, but without a line-test I can't be 100% certain that I could have a 2MB connection. Do BT allow checks on lines that you don't yet own? I would of course be willing to pay for the line-test. In choosing future houses, I suppose this is a consideration for an increasing number of...

BT has announced a series of trials to deliver rural broadband internet access without the need for wires, in a bid to reach its target of 100 per cent broadband coverage of every UK community by 2005. BT has set up the trials as part of the company's efforts to deliver high-speed broadband services to rural and remote communities that cannot currently gain access to broadband using more...

Im looking into migrating from my current provider (internet central) to another, can anyone explain the procedure of initiating a migration, i.e I know I have to get the CBUK number first but do I then pass it onto the prospective provider and then cancel my current connection straight away or does the new provider handle that end of things??

I'm not all that clever with bb but I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem for a friend who uses telewest broadband, using a Cable modem - Model: Surfboard SM4100 (I think). This modem connects to a WinXP laptop through RJ45 network cables. The network cable goes from the laptop LAN port into a small hub, and then another RJ45 patch cable goes from the hub into the back of the cable modem and this...

Hi, I have a netgear FR114W router that I am trying to setup with my NTL cable connection, however I'm having a little trouble getting it working. I've setup other routers (like the draytek vigor) with ADSL, but cable seems a little different. In the setup there was PPPoA, where as this only has PPPoE or PPTP. It asks me if my connection needs a login, I didn't think it did, but I seem to...

Have any BT broadband users been able to get an answer out of BT as to when they will be supporting a 1M service through BT Openworld? Thanks and Merry Christmas. Chris.

I hope to become ADSL enabled the end of Jan so am running around in ever decreasing circles trying to make decisions. I use the internet for browsing, mail and P2P, not interested in games. I will only be connecting the one PC. What is the best hardware to do for: Modem/Router and Internal/external. Any help gratefully received. TIA John T

Hi All, I have a Pipex connection, DLink DI614+ Wireless Router and 3Com HomeConnect Dual Link ADSL Modem, and I've now (I think) realised that the combination doesn't do what I want it to, namely wirelessly share my Pipex broadband connection around the house without having any specific PC switched on. As I understand it, the DLink router is the main stumbling block. I'd like a situation...

The subscribers to this newsgroup may well be aware a problem that has affected several UK groups over recent months. These groups have been subjected to huge amounts of extremely abusive trolling plus pointless cross posting - and the problem is spreading; it may only be a matter of time before all groups become so infected.

What is the current distance limit and is there likely to be an increase in it anytime soon. Also whatever happened to Rate Adaptive broadband ?

My Draytek ADSL Router gives me the option to be always on or to dial as necessary. Just practicing I have played around with the settings, it appears that if I am offline it automatically connects if I use any internet service so I am wondering what is the advantage or not of having an always on setting, is it just to safeguard against incoming problems for computers that are left on for long...

Hi All About to order the above router as this support vpn, but looking at the documentation I noticed it saying about forwarding ports for game playing. At the moment on my DG814 I don't need to do this as these ports are opened by the game, does anyone know if this will be the same for the draytek as I have 2 pc's running medal of honour. Thanks

I have a Netgear DG814 router/modem, 3com 10/100 NIC card in the desktop and a Netgear WG602 WAP. I have recently upgraded to a 1 mb link with my ISP. The speeds i Achieve are the old .5mb. I have checked with my ISp and BT who say everything is in order. It seemed to be the DG814, so I swapped for a new one, same problem. This is mystifying as when I put my old alcatel speedtouch modem in I...
