| 192764 | 2003-11-18 00:49:00 | Attn: Agent No I don't have any firewalls operating -- often considered it but concerned it will intefere with/degrade my onling gaming experience so haven't bothered. Got good anti-virus protection on each PC though as well as running Adaware Pro. Attn: Murray P With the D-link card and having cable for my broadband internet access -- would it be possible to only use the Realtek card?. For my internet setup I have a desktop COM21 modem from which the cable (coming in from street) connects to. An RJ45 like piece of cable also runs from the COM21 modem to the D-Link PCI card at the back of my PC. There are no other connections left free on the COM21 modem so don't think it can function as a router. Would it be possible to run that cable direct from the COM21 modem to the realtek card but then how do I connect PC1 to the network switch??! |

| 192767 | 2003-11-18 02:37:00 | Additionaly, who is your ISP and connection provider. Is it cable as per Teltra/Clear/Saturn or ADSL as per Telecom? (hope I haven't missed some pertinent point further up the page). AFAIK cable does not connect via an RJ45 plug so, if you've got cable the RJ45 is to connect to your Lan via the switch and then to your ethernet/Lan cards or a 2nd ethernet/Lan card in the gateway PC if you use ICS (windows & messy IMO) Cheers Murray P |

| 192768 | 2003-11-18 02:42:00 | Can't find that modem yet. Are there any other identifying features or numbers on it, does it have a USB connection as well? This from the net: Com21 has recently sold a number of its product lines to other companies. * ComUNITY system ("ATM system"): HS Data Solutions * DOXport cable modems: CastleNet * DOXcontroller cable modem terminating system (CMTS): ARRIS All other products are discontinued and support/service are no longer available from Com21.

| 192769 | 2003-11-18 03:23:00 | Nah No USB connection. Apart from the model number it just has a serial number. Its really just a modem by the looks of it - it has the 2 connections that I previously advised on the back and 5 LEDs on the front labelled PWR RF TD RD LNK I have had it for at least 2 years now and yes, my cable plan is through Paradise (via Telstraclear). |

| 192770 | 2003-11-18 08:45:00 | Ok. I don't think you can use your browser to access the router settings, (not quete correct, you can with certain of the router's firmware revisions and the right piece of sofware but Paradise would be most unhappy plus, you could alter your overall connection speed) confirm the router's IP or whatever will work as such for your Lan and if the router will work as a gateway (I assume it does because it has an ethernet uplink port, LNK), thats if you want to drop the 2nd lan card from PC1 and run your lan and internet connectio through the switch. the take it from there as per above. I also take it that the router is leased/rented from paradise? They don't seem to be supported any more by the manufacturer. Cheers Murray P |
