right,

I know absolutely nothing about this Purchased some bit of kit off of ebay.. was about 30 quid and is basically a wireless network kit

Question, will someone of my little knowledge be able to set this up?

Got broadband downstairs, and want the laptop to be able to go on the net

 

yeah I bought A netgear router 54mbps wireless adsl firewall thing took back to the shop today they said e-mail the company and they will phone u up and tell how to do it.

 

just leave everything default as all other peeps do ..
so anyone in your neighboorhood can use your connection aswell

then when you connect your laptop .. it will display a list of found networks... connect to any open network that says:
Default
Linksys
thomson

all networks will provide you with an ip adress from the built in DHCP server and you can surf the net..

also .. your neighboors will be able to view all stuff located on your pc when youre as smart as i understand from your post

 

so anyone actually know how its done.,..??

is this a difficult thing, or wait for a PC bod to come round and fit it?

 

it depends an the brand but I have heard it can hard

 

well gents, if you live near westy you will get free internet access

so i will have to lock the network down... cant be too hard?

why's everyone so touchy about it..? I dont care if people use the connection as long as I can

I'll read the instructions then should say, just didnt open the package up as had to rush to work

 

Mine was a nightmare to set up , but aol were very helpful and send me a set up email ,step by step . I have a netgear wireless router , which has been great for the last four months , even when the desktop and laptop are both online

 

cheers mate...

cant be that difficult can it

 

wireless coverage is adjustable 802.11b and dg834g

 

Who's your broadbad with.. makes and model of router/cards etc??

 

bt

 

didnt attempt it... open the box and there was this unit, with lights and holes at the back for wires...

wait for the pro's i think
