Wireless Network

Re: Wireless Network

Re: Re: Wireless Network

My broadband is going to be through Telewest though, cause BT isn't in my area yet.....

Re: Re: Re: Wireless Network

hmmm...our networking won't work with teleset cos we ain't cable....

try ringing telewest to c if they have a networking department if not try pc world & the likes to c what their crack is.....

its a right pain in the arse Lister. I tried to set up a wireless network at Little Daves house.

you need a router, wireless, like juski says. and you will need to register the MAC address with telewest etc...

your best ringing their technical helpline, they will tell you eveyrthing you need to do.

Ok thanks chaps.....

you can get an ADSL wireless router. I bought one of those last August when I got b/band. Its the whole lot rolled into one. Was about 120 notes when I got it. Took me about 2 hours to set up. Was on straight away with no problems. I would recommend it

What make/model you got??

a quick question... can i share a broadband usb modem connection, just using the 'internet connection sharing' option in windows? using 2 NIC's a cross-over cable

it'll depend on the modem u have

question:

I'm gonna be living with a few mates next yr and we intend to get a 2megabit bb line, and set up a wireless network, what would be the maximum amount of users you could have sharing the connection?

5 (i think i read somewhere)...

as many as you want. but it will get really slow..

dont think there is a maximum limit of users, but wireless bandwidth is only 11mb unless u can get higher one now. so u would all be sharling that 11mb line
i maybe wrong though

Anyone know anything about these BlueTooth dongles??!!

I heard ya could use 2 of them to connect 2 comps?

it depends on the networking equipment that u have...


bt do a modem that can network 10 pc's to broadband but like revel said it'll slow rite down but even with a few of ya's on line 2gether it'll still b faster than dial up!!

yeah, well theres only really gonna be a maximum of 3 of us that are gonna be using it at any given moment, so if we do get a 2 megabit line, it's still faster than normal broadband even when all three of us are on it.

canny, jobs a good 'un!!

I'll make sure to ask you if it gives me any hassle when I get round to doing it
