Your with BTO/BT Broadband with your ISP right? (not that it makes much of a difference) but you have too choices.

Come October my local exchange is due to be ADSL enabled, so I have ordered a conversion from Home Highway to ADSL, however my setup is a little unconventional and I am looking for some advice. Our BT master socket is downstairs in the hallway, the HH box is in the back bedroom and a length of Cat 5e connects one of the digital ports to a ISDN card in my server in another room (cat 5 runs under...

Finally gotten round to the task of setting my buddies NTL up on a router but unable to get it to work. Here is the deal - Modem is a Terajet 210 - (currently running usb with a silly app called broadjump) Router is LINKSYS BEFSR41 OS is win 98se (None of these factors are choice.)

Hi there folks, Does anyone know how to find out which areas are covered by an exchange (Camrose, Pembrokeshire in this case). I'm putting together a sign-up campain for the exchange and can't seem to find the info anywhere. cheers Andrew M

Well, we've got a date for broadband... and it's *never*. The local exchange has 28 preregistrations, and most of the houses out here are beyond line of sight. I seem to remember there being a scheme where you could stump up a few ens of thousands up front and get BT to install the kit anyway. But I can't find a reference to the scheme. Anyone out there recognise this ?

Hi there. My ISP does not allow connections to Peer to Peer networks but a few of my PC friends have got round this by using programs called HTTP Tunnel or Hopster... Apparently they use SOCKS Proxy or something? Does anyone know of an equivalent program for MAC? Nick

Hi, I have a sar715 Router/Modem Nice Little Machine but It Will not Pick Up the IP Address for Freeserve Broadband using XP Home OS Any Info On this Prob Please Regards Jb

I understand that the router normally provided by Force 9 / PlusNet (Solwise, I believe) supports NAT (netowrk address translation) so it will route a single public IP address on the internet to a number of private IP addresses for each computer on a private network. But does it also support uPnp? I believe that this is necessary for MSN Messenger's Webcam and Audio facilities to work. Would...

Just took a working SAR 715 and loaded the latest software onto it as I need a feature in the latest release. Now the BT test account works (i get an IP address) but it won't log on using the @hg47.btclick account details. Any ideas? I have confirmed with BT that the account details seem to be correct - but the monkey on the phone didn't seem too bright

I have just started using Satellite broadband and so far it's pretty good. However, when I log onto Drumbeat or Acquisition's peer to peer network program, I can no longer download anything?? Can anyone think of a reason why this would suddenly happen? There was no problems on my ISDN connection but I can download nothing now. Thanks, Nick
