when i called my company help desk, they said it should be fine.... Is there an issue with wireless security then?

Thanks for the extra info. Using the connection at home, so not for business. Also realise now about traffic shaping but generally do not do anything to fancy with the connection. As I am expecting to get about 1Mb - 1.6Mb speed max anyway they can only throttle me back so far. I have loved Newnet service but and £17.95 for 12Gb its just to expensive now... I was paying £49.95with Nildram in 2001 though!

what make of laptop ? try their download site for an updated wireless driver and/or utility. http://www.gallien.org/serendipity/uploads/wlan_acer... is for an Acer, if you're reasonably competent you could try it and reverse out if no good.

An old PC running linux and two network cards will do the job, and a bit of research will probably do. http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&... is one way I think.

In reply to a post by philippercival : but it the lines can take vary different routes from the exchange If they were to the same premises, it is highly unlikely they would take different route. BT will only have ducting a certain way and the majority of all houses come with at least 2 pairs, for additional lines. This will follow the same path back to the exchange. If however, you need a new pull from the ground/pole, they'd simply...

In reply to a post by Backpack : Not too difficult. The hard part is getting cards with native Linux support. Zoneminder is now in the Ubuntu repositories so its as easy as "sudo apt-get install zoneminder", or click-click-click-zoneminder-click-click if you have the desktop version. Thanks

Warm to the point that it disconnects. I suspect that it is just faulty and she is convinced the fan makes a difference, when in fact it makes none at all, she is not to tech savvy but lives too far away for me to inspect it. I think it is an old, Speedtouch Frog from her description, totally obsolete.

One of the forum members is doing the same sort of thing, manually sharing two ISP lines between several PCs. I think its jeff1106uk and you could try asking him about his experience.

Hi, make sure you have the latest driver for your laptop wireless connection device. Configure your wireless connection with a static IP address, you tell it where to connect. On the taskbar there will be a small grey monitor icon, click on it with left hand mouse button, then click -> Properties -> scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) -> click on that, then click Properties. You should now be at 'Internet...
