As per topic - assuming you don't need it for fax comms of course. Any ideas ????. Would prefer expereinces from real life though :) Craig Henry

I got BT wires only, then went out and bought a USR 9003. Its about £110. The 9003 includes a "proper" firewall (most "ADSL routers" only have NAT, which means you ALSO need a software firewall on your PC's) The 9003 has 2 ethernets and a USB: all 3 can be used at the same time, and by default, they can all talk to each other. In my case, I already had a hub (I used to have a dialup-router) so...

Would I have to have an ugly white box bolted to the front of the house? Can I just opt for the broadband service as a stand-alone (i.e. no TV channels)? Does this affect my BT telephone number at all? cheers, Neil.

Hi All Sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for someone who would be interested in writing an article or two about broadband in our new magazine - nothing too technical, more of a beginners' guide. Anybody fancy giving it a go? If you want to see what the mag looks like, you can get some free sample copies by registering on the website at: http://www.livtech.co.uk/

Hi, I'm still trying to find the locations of BT exchanges in Hampshire for use in a broadband marketing campaign and hope you'll forgive me if I ask the group for a little help. The following is a list of exchanges in the Test Valley local authority with the location information (postcode + OS National Grid easting & northing) that I've extracted from OS Address-Point data. Can...

Thanks for the initial feedback. The modem loses sync with the exchange but recovers within 30 secs normally. (I am a good distance from the exchange but it has worked fine for a long time.) I've only swapped the 2 filters I received with the modem. Is it worth disconnecting all phone equipment and trying it without any filters? I have a Via chipset motherboard but it is a very recent one...

Any thoughts about what I could use instead that is reasnoable, ie moving towards super power user on xp not bog standard zone alarm.

Has anyone in the group used Bulldog as their broadband isp, and if so, are they any good? Many thanks Richard --- NO HOTMAIL EMAIL ALLOWED

Hi all I recommended a neighbour to join pipex and got a free month. Great I thought but then started thinking am I cutting my own throat by having to share the 50 to 1 contention will this make a diff when we are both online together.

Any thoughts about what I could use instead that is reasnoable, ie moving towards super power user on xp not bog standard zone alarm. What do you want - a "super power user" firewall for free ? ZA works fine for me. Is there anything specific you dislike about it ? -- Please add "" in the subject of any personal replies via email or you are likely to be spam filtered :-}

Does anyone on this NG use Nildram. I would be pleased to get any feedback. TIA - Peter James Change AT to @ to reply

I have just joined the broadband revolution with my old ISP UkOnline (part of the Easynet Group). I am very happy with the service so far but wonder if anyone else has signed up with them yet? The Actiontec wireless router seems to do the job well with 3 computers connected wireless and 1 via LAN.

Or if none do just a decent ethernet ADSL router with built in modem and possibly more than one port. Been looking at the cheap ebuyer one but not too sure....

Have been using Pipex for about 18 months, first 15 months via a USB frog and bar a few hiccups the service has been spot on. Few months back I bought a Netgear DM602 ADSL modem (connected via RJ45, not USB) and a WGR614 wireless ADSL router - since then periodically the service becomes unavailable. All the lights etc stay green on the modem and the router and I can ping the router but not the...

As subject.... TIA
