Looking for advice really .... I have my own setup * a mixture of Draytek and Netgear, all quite old and expensive at the time, but I am trying to help out a friend. I am looking for a wireless router * cheap is the issue. 802.11b * forget g etc as they¹ll never use the extra capacity Wireless interface plus one ethernet WAN connection for a local PC. The broadband connection is a Blueyonder...

Hi all, None to suprisingly Im back and stuck with my broadband setup. Having bought the Draytek Vigor 2600We I have attached all cables as per the instructions Im unable to access the internet. All the lights on the vigor are correctly lit and I even have a small symbol on my taskbar stating that a 100Mbps LAN connection is available. I have tried running the Smartwizard from the supplied...

Hi all, not sure if this is the right fora, but it's related to my continued 'fight' :P with my 510v4 so hopefully someone may have the answer. I've got 14 static IP's but and not sure what the subnetmask would need to be after the initial IP (the gateway) is added to the config file. According to Eclipses Multi static IP example 6 IP's have the netmask of /29 i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29

Hi all, I've got a bit of a weird one - so any insights would most definitely be gladly received :P The issue is this, got a Thomson 510v4 router PPPoA is set to 81.xxx.xxx.65 no PAT eth0 is set to 10.0.0.1 no PAT with the rest of my IP allocation added to the route table pointing to eth0 - source ANY - (81.xxx.xxx.66 - 81.xxx.xxx.78)

I'm using the 300G+ and Demon, no problems after getting the buffalo wireless router to accept its DHCP address. Very reliable now, not a glitch for months. Sounds like faulty modem. -- Tony Stanley ++Always Learning++ "Bob Evans" wrote in message ...

I'm looking for a site that archives newsgroup articles in a similar way to groups.google.com Specifically I need to pull some replies that were posted to alt.games.battlefield1942 a couple of weeks ago. Zen's server was still having delivery / expiry problems then. Oddly enough that group doesn't seem to be archived at the Google archive :(

Last week I bought a D-Link 504 ADSL modem. I set it up on my home network & it works perfectly :) How secure is the firewall using the default settings? I am not really a network person so I am unsure whether I should be considering making additional settings to make it more secure. TIA, -- HtH

I'm trying to extend my dsl-enabled lan using Zyxel g.shdsl routers and (existing, privately owned) telephone cabling. Re-cabling with Cat 5 or wireless are not options. Wiring distance is about 500m. Can anyone point me (relative newbie) somewhere that I can find simple directions for the physical set-up. Have tried googling but without success. MTIA Nick.

Leave it as it is, although it's a static IP it's assigned by the ISP (but it's always the same!), some routers won't work if you assign it yourself. DNS servers can be assigned if you want to use a different pair.

So ask the ISP what there future bandwidth plans are, how many new pipes have they accounted for in the next 6 months of there expansion. Time to get them to sell them selves. Hi,

Yes! at last someone else has the same problem as me. The only way I can keep my router alive is by setting my GF hairdryer to COLD and giving it a quick balst now and then. I dont suppose you have found a fix for this one??? please tell me you do. Cheers, StephenD
