whats your internet connection right?
im actually using High Speed Internet at work. Right now the ports are open for internet access, dont know how long this will stay open, if time comes that we wont be able to use the internet to check other websites except our tools, i wont be able to do mylot anymore and need to access it in some net cafes...

I am accessing the internet through a shared connection over a wireless home network of which the modem is connected to my brothers pc. No wires is a big plus and im soon to add a third pc to the network and get a router.

if youre already able to connect through wireless using that home network connection throigh wireless right, why add a router when adding a new pc? are you using a 2wire modem?

we have a similar connection but it is a router which we are using rather than the modem. there are supposedly three computers around but the laptop was ruled out to be not of much use anymore. another one is coming up next week to take up its place.

yeah, coz there are actually modems that are now capable for networking and thats 2 wire modem...if youre using a dumb modem as we call it, it needs to have a router connected to do a network.

I am using the wireless connection available in my country. Pakistan Tele Communication Limited provides a wireless connection naming vwireless. This is working well but there are still some problems we are facing and here are some needs of improvements and we hope that the problems would be rectified in just future.

really? like what kind of problem..wireless is good and convenient, you can get to bring your laptop anywhere right? the set back only is that, when its raining, youll get disruption on your connection..

I am currently using dail-up, because it it the cheapest internet connection on island. I would love to get DSL but it is $75.00 a month...lol..But the dail`up connection I have is not too bab! I use an TCP optimizer that makes it "high speed internet"

a router is actually what we use if you have multiple computers that you need to connect to the internet...

speed varies actually if youre on a network..pc already shares the badwidth so its going to a lot slower...

I use DSL, but I won't lie, I loved getting Cable connection through Comcast; When I went in to check out the new Iphones, a rep told me that although the cable connection is good, folks could come and take your information with that connection. Is that so? I like the DSL connection but just want some confirmation.

iPhone is good..but its exclusively distributed for ATT members only..cingular so to speak...for the year though...you can use it with your other ISP but there are compatibility issues that comes with it...so you might be having trouble with the configuration, but you can give it a try..
comvast is good too! :)

are you having intermittent connection more often then usual? because if its does, there migth be something wrong with the line outside..most of the intermittent connection is due to environmental problem too...like EMI and stuff like thats affecting your modem.

yeah...thanks!
for residential accounts, its usually using dynamic ip addressing...unlike business accounts that they use static ip to connect to the internet.

Hm I thought I answered this, but I dont see my response anywhere! I am currently using broadband cable internet, with a wireless connection. I love it, and just drag my laptop anywhere I am, because there are no wires, yay!

I'm using a smartbro connection. By the way, can i use a switch to have internet sharing if i'm gonna have 3 pc?
@daryljane (3406)

22 Jun 07
hmmm...im not sure if you can use switch, but what i know you can use a router to have 3 pc's connected. if your modem is wireless capable, you can install wireless adapters to your pc you can do wireless connection. i just dont know whats the set up for smartbro.

Not good enough but it works fine seldom i am using Cable networking LAN from and the speed is maximum 120kbps so i am happy to have it just for 10$ a month now planning to upgrade to get more better service by different company ..........they will charge me 17$ for each month a big difference i hope i will be able to afford it soon .......

120kbps is still slow..its really best if you upgrade and enjoy your service even more. have fun!
