| 848209 | 2010-01-15 07:31:00 | oh yeah all 8 wires are used :clap :thumbs: One thing that makes networking "interesting" is having to go behind someone else to fix their balls up, or try and figure out what the hell they have done. Had to on several occasions, pull some more wire out ( as long as they left some slack) cut the plugs/wall sockets off and rewire them to standard. |

| 848211 | 2010-01-18 20:17:00 | I am guessing that we may need to drill a path outside to lay another gas pipe. The gas meter is at the other side to the now to renovate kitchen. Is it ok to lay a computer network cable along the gas pipe? :confused: The only sensible way to get Cat6 to the bottom floor other than pulling walls out or drilling between walls for a whole floor height. If it wasn't for gas, maybe wireless is the only sensible way for us. |

| 848212 | 2010-01-18 23:17:00 | Never laid cable on a gas pipe, but it should be ok. Just check with the gas installer. What I have done at a customers site once when they were laying power (and my own place) is lay some 20mm orange electrical conduit in the trench while its open, (about 30 Mtrs) then put through 4 runs of cable - At the customers site two were being used, 1 for the internet, and the other for the phone lines - with two spares or could be used as a pull wire if needed. If you go the electrical conduit way - thread through at least 1 extra run of cable, as you never know when it could be wanted and its easier to do with a trench open that after-wards, cables cheap. |

| 848213 | 2010-01-20 03:14:00 | Dang. Back to wireless. There is a pipe in the garage that is larger we can be branched off into the kitchen. That means no avenue to get a network cable to the bottom floor (ensuite bedroom). Maybe I am picky enough to install network cables to the top floor anyway. Dining room get it but no lounge again drilling a whole floor down from the attic. The bottom floor was added in by the previous owner(s), it used to be a single floor house only with the garage on the bottom and the front door then immediately the staircase up to the main room, there is a bottom trap door that you can access but due to the new rooms which were added that kinda introduces a new brick wall. The only way is really dig the concrete floor just for a cat6 cable, or use a wardrobe upstairs and drill a hole via the wall and put the cable outside the house going to the bedroom downstairs. Or put the network jackpoint on the ceiling :p well some offices do that. |
