Aye turn on UPNP. What model and make of router do you have?

Yeah i agree it's adequate but not the best method which is the point I make - wireless has it's pitfalls as you know. As you say, you need a good wireless setup in the first place but even then is sustainable to interference.

I think i prefer a full duplex connection over half duplex any day of the week ;) wireless should always be a last resort.

This, wireless sucks for pings.

Why not? everyone else does now :(

I've done about 30 windows 7 upgrade's and none took long at all really. It really doesn't matter how much stuff you have on the HDD.

Say what!

Dell are usually well priced - if they have over specced then just tell them what you want?

I enjoy networking ;)

I've used Microsofts DPM 2007 and found it was really good once you get it setup correctly on a dedicated server. http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/dataprotectionmanager/en/us/overview.aspx

How are you connected up? True 1080p video's you will struggle with wifi, in theory it should work but Wireless N isn't that great on throughput on equipment I've tested and also online reviews confirm this.

Wireless N still isn't fast enough for 1080p streaming tbh.

mine doesn't do it. What keyboard you using? Microsoft one? if so might be in the drivers for that.

Anyone use Freenet? http://freenetproject.org/ Welcome to the darknet ;) Anyways, any good for download stuff?

Anyone know where I can still purchase XP Pro Upgrade Edition? That doesn't cost the earth and is in stock?

Got any money to spend? do you have a data cabinet? with racks? Router -> 24port gigabit Switch -> Patch Panel -> Cat5e Network Sockets -> done. Fast, tidy and furture proof. no need for separate switches - one main swtich connected to the router.

I recommended you a decent AP on my first post that will do what you need. It runs WRT which is awesome.

Here is a reply from Sophos Tech Support when I had sophos login issues with my DC filling my event logs: -------------------------------------------------- Hello darren, We are aware of this issue and this will be resolve in the update to SUM due march 2010. Regards, Michelle...

I wouldn't worry about WDS (Wireless Distribution System) it's just used to link AP's together. Just go with the same SSID as above and make sure all the settings are right.

I've had problems in the past when roaming unless your using a WDS setup.

Yes this should work - the homeplugs are just a bridge device and treat your powerline as an ethernet cable. Speeds can vary but they will be faster than your broadband speed so you won't notice any slow down. You can also get a Wireless Access point for upstairs and I have used loads of...

Can't you remote to your home PC?

No i5 is socket 998 and t9600 is socket 478 which I pursume you have.

No it has 2 cores. They will be both completely different socket fitments. You'll need a compatible mobo for either of them.

The i5 is a much newer mobile processor and can carry out 4 threads unlike the T9600 2 threads. Also the i5 carrys many more features eg: Hyper-Threading. T9600 - http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35563 i5 - http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47341

Played this loads on my Amstrad CPC464!

I had the original and the manual was the size of a phonebook! good game though.

It's stand alone - just needs power and a Network connection (Cat 5 Cable) to your router and yes access it through your wireless.

Sophos here and I recommend/sell Sophos to all my Clients.

Yeah but if you clear the laptop you end up with one copy on an external HDD which if that fails you lose everything. RAID1 = Drive Mirroring - You have two HDD's Synced together if one fails you have a backup...
