So he will need to have one computer on the whole time? Can you use a router instead?

A friend of mine is going to get ADSL soon. The Telecommunications company is going to provide him with the modem. He has 2 computers on different floors of the house and I thought HPNA would be the easiest way to share the internet connection. What equipment (apart from the ADSL modem) is...

If i add more than 3 items in the quick launch pad not all are visible at the same time. Is there a way I can have 4-5 items showing there?

No reply from USR yet. I believe the temperature of the surface of the router is around 55-70 degrees Celsius.

Well, as i said it is not imposible to leave your hand on it, you can't get a burn. But its only barely posible. I emailed usr, but since today is sunday I don't think they will reply today. Should I just leave it working until i get a reply (its working properly) or should i unplug it (and...

Yesterday I bought a dsl router (my first one). The US Robotics 8000A (8000-02). The case of the router is black metallic and it seems that it runs VERY hot. I haven't mesured it exactly, but its hard to touch it for more than some seconds(but not imposible, you can't get a burn or anything.)...

cool, then i might not even need that 200Mhz PC. I will just run knoppix on one of my windows PCs

clicknext, how much ram did you have on that 200MHz PC? I am looking at knoppix now, seems interesting. So i can just put the CD in the tray and run Linux right away without any needs for partitions etc?

Ok, thanks. I now have a software firewall (Norton 2003), and sometimes I need to adjust it, or turn it off entirely. Will the routers firewall be as flexible?

i thought a small hub is cheaper from a router. Will I need a router + hub, or just one router?

Currently i have 2 win xp PCs conected with a crossover cable and using win XP internet connection sharing. Now I need to add 1 Labtop to my network(it already has a network card). How should I go about it? Will it be enough if i get a 4 port hub, or will I need a router? I don't ming leaving...

With win2k you can have both?

I need to have Internet Explorer 5 on a win XP system (for website testing). Is there any way I can have either both IE6 and IE5, or at least only IE5 on a win XP Pro system?

I am using ICS (internet connection sharing) with one computer directly connected to the internet with adsl (640 up/128 down) and one client computer. While from the "main" computer I can download with speeds over 65Kb/s, from the client computer I can't get more than 25kb/s (for the exact same...
