RE: Wireless Internet
March 5, 2009 at 3:04 am
Well I finally have it all set up. A Belkin router physically connected to this PC and wirelessly to the other.

However, I'm still confused because after a couple of hours of frustration with the stupid thing and several threats to 'throw it out of the window' it suddenly started working.

I'm used to things following a logical process and if I had installed drivers or some other installation software I could understand it it, but, I did none of those things. As far as I can make out, my main PC has suddenly decided not to look for the internet via the old usb broadband modem and has suddenly decided to go through the LAN port to the new router. How did it know when nothing was changed on the PC?

Another strange side effect is that my broadband speed has gone up from about 4MB to 6MB Dodgy

But thanks anyway for all your help Big Grin
