Open Question: Mobile broadband dongle or home internet?

Hi guys, I was wondering: I'm moving out soon to live on my own. In my new flat, I don't want/ need a phone line but I use the internet several hours a day for my job and was wondering what would be my best option. Should I get one of those mobile broadband dongles or should I just get a phone line and home broadband/ wireless (bearing in mind I will never use the phone and have limited funds)? I would get a dongle as I'm the only one who'd need to use it but does that mean my usage is limited or it will be slower? Any advice will be much appreciated! xxx more

Open Question: How much will it cost to live on my own?

Hi guys, I'm 25 and (finally) planning to move out of my parent's house and live on my own. I'm just wondering how much this would cost per month with bills, internet etc. as I've never lived on my own. To give you an idea of the situation, the rent will cost £450 and I work mostly from home (although I have another job at weekends) so will be using my computer and internet a lot. I live in chilly Scotland so I'm guessing heating will be quite hefty. I also have a car which needs to be insured, diesel to pay for etc. Council tax is band D which is about £80 a month for a single occupant I think. Does anyone know if I'd be able to claim council tax benefits and how much they'd be? I'm on working tax credits as I'm on a low income. Also, I don't really want to have a phone line so will a dongle be sufficient for my internet use or would it be better to get proper broadband/ wireless. Sorry for all the questions: any input would be much appreciated! Thanks xxx more

Hi all, I have a Dell PC, just put in a Linksys wireless adapter card (WMP54GS), and am trying to add it to my Virgin wireless broadband network.

Open Question: How do I find out all the info I need to hook up my router,like I.P.Address,Subnet,Default Gateway,etc.?

I bought a Tenda Router today and when I followed the instructions it asks for things I don't know. For example Step 5 is Please select Broadband Type Is it Ethernet Broadband Get IP Automatically (Dynamic) or Ethernet Broadband Fixed IP (Static) If I select Dynamic I first see a screen with MAC address I then click NEXT Taking me to a screen with 4 lines SSD (Name of my network) Wireless mode BGN MIxed or Wireless mode BG Mixed Channel Selection 1-13 (are my choices) SSID broadcast ( Checkbox to either broadcast my network name or not) On the next screen I get: Security ....choices are disable,wep,wpa,wpa2 (I selected wpa) WPA Key IKIP or AES WPA KEY (Password I decided on) Key Valid Time (30s to 9999) Seconds to type a password in I gather.?

If I select the 2nd One, I have to put in I.P.Address Subnet Address Default Gateway Primary DNS Secondary DNS If I leave anything blank I get a Dialogue Box saying Invalid Entry. But if I do the 2nd one,then where would I get all those numbers from? It said to contact my I.P. Provider,but there has to be a location on my computer to get them from. Currently I'm switching from using the router to not using it,in order to get online to find out the info I need. I'm running Windows 7 32Bit on a Hell,oops I mean Dell Computer ((Now when I click next it saves the settings,but when it finishes it shows all zeros and can't connect)) If I select more

It will connect to the internet when using a hotspot supplied by a major telephone company. However, I am unable to use WiFi with my Netgear connection at home or in any other equivelent location. Even sitting beside my desktop with it connected to the internet I get a "waiting for users to connect" message even with a 100% reception The NETGEAR on the "Connection to a network" screen says "The settings saved on this computer for the networks do not match the requirements of the network" My Netgear is a Wireless ADSL Modem Router DG834G v3 I have been in contact with Netgear and my broadband supplier and with the Acer technical team.

All I know is that I cannot get WiFi connections, which is particularly awkward as I spend a lot of time away from home. Can you advise me?

i was trying to connect my phone to our broadband router. as i remembered, a computer technician (whom we wrongly trusted) changed it's password. as i was surfing for possible ways for acquiring the new password (i guess it's WLAN?) so that i could connect my phone, one suggested that i press the button on my router for 30 secs. that was what i did. but after that, my laptop, which was wirelessly connected to the router, lost connection. how could i reconnect my laptop? :(( please help me. i badly need internet. :((( i tried opening the url for my router but i don't know my username and password. how do i get to know those? help me please. :((( i am pretty sure that it was not the reset button. it was in front of the router. and oh, my router is a Linksys WRT54G. i pressed the button on the lower left front corner of the unit. it has the bridge logo unit of cisco sytems. what's the effect of such pressing of button to my connection? what did i do wrong? how can i get my wireless connection back? help me please? more

Open Question: A question about wireless broadband internet.?

Thank you for reading my question. If you could leave a brief answer it would be most appreciated. I am wondering how ISP's send and receive data. With wireless broadband internet, your ISP sends/receives data to an antenna on the roof of your house which is connected to a modem. My question is what is stopping someone from intercepting the wireless data sent between your modem/antenna and the ISP? Is this connection encrypted or something? How does your ISP even know you exist on their wireless network? I am guessing it must have something to do with the modem that the ISP supplies but I could be wrong... does it have to do with the modem's MAC address or something? Am I even close? more

Open Question: Am I doing something wrong with my wireless connection?

I've looked at many posts on this and no one seems to be having quite the same problems as me. We got BT broadband about a month ago and got the BT Home Hub 2.0 with it. We're able to connect our desktop computer with wires but I cannot connect my laptop wirelessly. I say I cannot connect wirelessly but it depends where I am in the house. I can connect in my hall but not in my bedroom (which is at most 10 metres away, if even that, from the hub). I've tried restarting the hub, redoing the connection on my laptop and I've spent time on the website to try and find out how to fix it. Am I doing something wrong or is the laptop too far away to get a signal? My friend can get on it on her laptop in my room so I thought I was doing something wrong but I've tried everything I know to try and fix it and it just doesn't seem to work. I'm completely confused. Can anyone help? more

Voting Question: Why do I have to keep resetting my router?

I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router and my internet keeps disconnecting. What's happened is that I have a computer downstairs where the router and modem is. I have two (recently bought the second) upstairs and they are directly wired to the router. We also used a splitter for the two upstairs computers. The thing is that my internet has been working perfectly until I installed the upstairs computer and hooked it up to the internet. Now the internet randomly shuts down on all computers and we have to reset the router to get it working again, but sometimes it only works for 2-7 minutes. The strange thing is though that the internet on the browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) stops working, but if I'm playing an online game or downloading something, it works fine. Also most of the time the wireless on my Ipod Touch works perfect, but all the other computers don't. So do I need to buy a new router, install new firmware, or something else? Help!I just remembered, sometimes the internet works perfectly until somebody else gets on another computer and then it crashes.The second computer upstairs is clean from viruses because I just purchased it and haven't really downloaded anything yet. The other two computers are also virus-free; I just ran an antivirus scan on both of them. more

Open Question: why wont my desktop computer's internet work?

i've got our broadband with Virgin cable and the internets been fine but now my desktop PC wont connect with the Internet? it has a wireless PC card or something which i needed to setup the internet in the first place. every other computer in the house works fine though, but it this one i use/need the most. thanks in advance :) P.S if something like this usually happens i just right-click the computer screen in the bottom right corner and click repair but because this is with Virgin, i have to go through its task manager which is useless. and im running it on XP if that makes a difference. more
