As recently announcing in the IRC chat room, my home network is now totally wireless, from my 3 computers to my laptop.

I'm currently using my Draytek router, which even at around 48.0mbps seems to be just as fast as the wired network I used to have.

And once I get the new router (to enable 125mbps), it should be even better.

Oh, and I've updated my website at http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~nickk

Thanks...

The only problem I had is when the desktop machine's IP address was clashing with my laptop. Once that was sorted it was okay...
For some reason the new cards didn't want to use the old settings, and instead went for obtaining the IP address automatically...

Just me and my brain - its a template, most of which I dont change. Gives it a faux company-like look...

The router holds the ISP information already, so all I had to do was install the Belkin drivers, insert the card and set the static IP and DNS addresses.
Its a bit hard to detail it all without being there - I would suggest you left NTL (they aren't much good anyway), and go for someone like Nildram.

your behind the times - go with dynamic ip, much better

one thing you must remember is security, put encryption on your channels and change the password - for my netgear router the password was so original when it arrived, have a guess, you've got it the password was password
