Hi all Not sure about this! Colleagues laptop has 2 versions of IP Protocol listed under the properties of his wireless connection. IP Version 6 has addresses set to "obtain automatically" IP Version 4 has fixed adresses. Which protocol will the wireless connection use by default? Why are there 2 IP Protocols?

A provider who will let you connect from ANY adsl-enabled line? Or are the lines always tied to a single provider?

Hello I recently changed address and cancelled my Freeserve broadband account. Applied for and eventually got the Home Hub box. It would not connect to broadband and after a visit from BT engineer was informed that broadband was not possible due to the distance from exchange, abt 6 miles. Am now on dialup and it is painful, slow and dropping every 5 mins. The only solution seems to be satalite....

Hello, I'm using the Orange livebox to access broadband - no major problems - but I cannot find where my internet password & username are stored ? I don't need to change them, but I'd like to know where they are ? Are they on my pc somewhere, or stored in the livebox itself ? Thanks for all advice

Hi all Please bear with me I'm a wireless virgin! A colleague of mine cannot connect to his home network. This is a wireless setup with a Linksys router - is there such a thing as a "standard" NTL wireless install? Anyway, he was working away from home and someone changed some settings on his laptop to get him onto their wireless network (some hotel I think!).

Does anyone know how much RF power comes out of a DG834G (in mW) ?? Thanks Googled all over and found nothing that states a figure for this. Thanks Ray

As a Sky Digital subscriber, I am considering switching my broadband subscription over to them from AOL. I will be interested to know of other peoples' experiences of this service, and if they have found it reliable. Thanks in anticipation.

Wondering if I'm about to do the right thing? All I really want is to save some money per month. I pay £14.99/month now for Plusnet and that is with an 8Gb monthly download limit. I seem to regularly go over that limit (not by much but enough to sometimes add a fiver on to the end of that monthly fee) I can get Sky Broadband for a tenner a month and that is unlimited (I know they say...

Hi all Another newbie 834 question. I would like to run a VPN into my workplace and connect to my desktop. At work we have CheckPoint Firewall1 software and to get through to that I have installed SecureRemote software on my laptop. The connectivity works fine across a dial up connection, but obviously speed is not acceptable I don't get error messages when syncing to the works router with...

A friend has been suffering poor ADSL broadband performance of late, low SNR, frequent line drops. It transpires that the flat recently had double glazing fitted and as the telephone cable passed through the window frame, the window fitters just cut the cable before the NTE5, refitted the glazing and quote "stuck it back together with gaffer tape". I'm guessing that this bodged cable joint...

Thanks for helpful comments with regard to long line problems. after a further 12hour resync this week I have finally put the BT Voyager on its own UPS....hopefully that will keep it connected slightly longer - I have been pointed towards the Draytek2600 as a good longline router . but doesnt support VPN....all the later products the 2700 and 2800 support VPN but the firmware doesnt support a...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the L8NC tool, I've passed this on to my collegue at the moment as I'm on holiday. Though I've installed this myself to monitor my home connection.. ....and I'm seeing some pretty interesting results here at home myself !

Copied from the ISP review forum: 1. Go to the Broadband Dashboard at http://supportcentre.talktalk.net/ 2. Login as normal with your Master Account username and password (i.e. for your landline number) 3. Look at the status bar at the bottom of you Browser whilst hovering over 'Connection' or 'E-Mail' or 'Webspace' links! You will see your authentication...

A customer has just got broadband and the Voyager 2091 router than his ISP supplies. I've noticed that it keeps disconnecting and doesn't reconnect automatically even when his browser or email client make external requests. However he can reliably connect if he goes into the router's config page and presses the Connect button. I've confirmed that it's set to "Aways On", so it shouldn't even be...

Hi group, A friend has a single desktop PC running on XP & connected to a Netgear DG834G router via the Ethernet port. He is looking at also buying a laptop which runs on Vista & connecting wirelessly to the router. Q. Will the router work with two different operating systems ?

Hi, I'm thinking of moving from Zen to ADSL24 but am unsure of the process for doing this. I would like to make sure I don't end up without a net connection, so it would be great if ADSL24 could take over straight from Zen. Is there a best way for going about this. Can I just call ADSL24 and sign up (or do it on the website) and they will take care of everything? Or do I have to go to Zen...

Hi all Daft question - all routers of a particular brand have the same setup instructions and the same ip address. Doesn't selling thousands of these things with the same address etc make life easy for hackers? Phil
