*not for me - hold the flames* ;-) Just been asked if AOL can provide broadband on a non-BT line, and I thought I spotted something recently about them having an arrangement with cable companies to use their lines for an "equivalent" service over cable. Have I lost the plot completely ? --

How nauseating! Installed Speedtouch 330 software, plugged in the modem, restarted - no lights on the modem! Various attempts to find the modem result in it (and my USB joystick, which was fine previously!) not being recognised. Anybody else had these probs? And more importantly, how did you fix em? I've got XP with SP1 installed

Is there one offering over 50MB ?

Hi, I have the above motherboard, please could someone let me know is it 'broadband ready' or do i need a different modem ?? Thanks

Hi, I've just got me the above router - wow, how easy is this to install! I'm a newbie to firewalls though, can anyone give me some help on how to set this thing up, is there "standard firewall configuration" that anyone can send me - or a "firewalls for dummies" tutorial available. TIA

i would like to have a 2 way (up+down) connection via satellite and not involve telephone connection. I live in the UK, and am looking for a satellite operator that does this service, but i am confused by the services available. I am hearing about something called EBIRD, just sent into space and available in November, can i use that skysurf package that is offered, and do they do a 2 way...

OK, a buddy called me tonight regarding his new connection to BT Broadband, haveing just realised they provide him no kind of email. A little research later and I discover that they do not even provide an SMTP server. Obviously he could use Yahoo / hotmail etc, but that is not ideal. If he wishes to use Outlook Express, how can he do it? He can still receive his former ISP POP3 account, but...

I am using BTOpenworld broadband, which has now been redesignated as BTYahoo broadband, or so I believe. Ever since using this service, for the last week, I have been unable to access my email account at Yahoo. I am constantly re-directed, automatically, to the BTYahoo mail service. This happens whatever I do. Even when typing in mail.yahoo.com in IE exactly the same happens. I am completely at...

ISP. Virgin.net Exchange: Littleborough Connection : 2 PCs via combi router modem Can anyone give me any advice , procedures to follow in order to check whether I'm correctly setup eg how do I ping to tell what speed I've got.

I have a few questions I need some help on as im on the verge of signing up with Nildram's basic service. Firstly, there is no SMTP server included and Im not sure I fully understand what this means. I know its related to sending out emails but how important is this? I have a POP3 email account and as far as I know I can still use Outlook Express to compose and send emails so it shouldn't make...

My local exchange gets ADSL in December and I am now in the process of choosing an ISP. I use P2P networks such as Kazaa and WinMX but I believe some ISPs block the ports used by these file sharing programs. Does anyone know where I can find a list of ISP's which prevent file sharing. Any comments on ISPs in general are also welcome. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG...

Hey Guys I have just ordered Pipex "solo 2 go" and am getting an Alcatel 330 usb modem as part of the deal, I have 2 PC`s and want them both to have independent access to the internet. I used to have them connected using 10/100 network cards and a crossover cable, but this caused problems as I had to have both computers on to use the second one online with ICS. If i got a cheap USB 4 port hub,...

Nildram have just announced that they are ceasing access to their only decent binary news feed. I have 5, possibly 6 dsl accounts to shift to another ISP, either one with a decent feed or a cheaper one in order to get feeds from elsewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions ? thanks, dee

What is the max size of an email and what is the size of the storage?

I've just received my modem connection pack from Freeserve and it came with 2 filters for phones/fax connected to any socket. As I'll be using my laptop in my bedroom with no other phone devices, do I still need to use the filter between the modem and phone socket? Your comments will be appreciated. Cheers

Sorry if you guys have heard this question before. Just got broadband looking to download stuff especially movies. Have seen talk about Supernova. What is it and how do i get it or similar apps to dowload stuff, Thanks Macca
