Hi Guys Queries that I would like to ask a 1) I know this is pretty general, but could anybody tell me what they think the best overall ADSL package for the UK is at the moment? Usage is relatively light (ie, min transfer rate 620MB a month and max 950MB a month) and would like something with:

Dear Chris, In a word....do not bother. My friend has a satlink, but we are pure Linux kinda guys, well he likes BeOS more also but that is offtopic. :) The satlink stuff is iffy at best, has periods of outages, heavily contended and the best portion of latency you will ever get, if large latencies is your sort of thing! SSH it is just about bearable, really only when there is some form of...

hi, i currently use a router with NAT setup. Do i still need to use a firewall aswell? Thanks Peter

Hope you guys have your antivirus programs updated and firewalls firm. Four emails with attachments were caught by mailwasher and were deleted and bounced. Also 3 new worms have been found. PHASERS ON KILL!

Hi All, Just thought I'd share something with you. I've just successfully installed an ethernet ADSL modem, but I'm part of the extended reach pilot scheme, i.e. 5.5km and (supposedly) 6km from the exchange. I installed the modem as close as possible to the master phone socket and used a single microfilter/splitter, the idea was to give the modem the cleanest and strongest ADSL signal...

In , Satans twisted little helper, spouted such drivel as: Anyone using freeserve broadband recommend a router? was thinking of netgear DG824M but some posts advising firmware unstable or is this still a problem and if anyone can point to router settings for broadband much appreciated had also thought of the BT voyager 2000 router but not much...

Hi Folks Can someone point out what this actually means. I know i need to cancel my Homehighway But it mentions that i am on the limit of receiving ADSL ? Does that mean i can receive @ most 2mb ?

The answers won't have changed since you posted the same question earlier.

Friend wants Broadband. No BT available but NTL in street. Is considering NTL cable for broadband. Does he have any other option re IAS apart from NTL and (I think?) AOL? Thanks, Pete

Help please on connecting two computers. I'm on broadband and need to connect my computer ('host') to a computer in the next room ('slave'). I know I can network them, but, should both computers be in use, does it slow down the doownload speed by much? Or is it best to buy another modem etc for the second computer and use them individually (i.e.one is switched off when the other is in use). Any...

I did the change with an Actiontec wireless router and Actiontec wireless PC cards for the laptops bought from Dabs. Thanks to help from this newsgroup I followed the instructions carefully in the router installation program, including 'cloning' the MAC address of the ethernet card to which the Telewest Cable Modem is connected. IT worked first time mike

Hello all, Subject gives you the gist: I have just subscribed to blueyonder's new wireless self-install. £35 gets you a Netgear WAP to plug into the set-top box and a USB wireless antenna. Sadly, attempting to connect fails (on two machines). The wireless LAN seems to be up with no problems and the box can see the WAP. However, the WAP doesn't seem to be able to connect upstream. As usual,...

I'm in the process of choosing an ADSL router for my parents who are about to get broadband . Their ISP is Force 9 who supply a Solwise SAR110 as standard for the "router" option. This may have everything that they need. The only debatable point is whether or not they need uPnP for making full use of MSN Messenger - for webcam and audio connections. I've not been able to find anywhere what uPnP...

According to various newsgroup contributors, my experience must be unusual to say the least. Last evening I rang the BTOpenworld broadband helpdesk. The call was answered very soon after the recorded announcements, the man who answered was courteous and appeared to know what he was talking about and the problem was sorted. I have rarely had need to call this helpdesk but have always been pleased...
