On the plus net bandwidth speed checker I am getting 66 and 107 kbps have reported the problem and I know its not a fault with my laptop as its the same on my other pc. How else can I check speed, there seems to be hundreds of sites:huh: It's like being in the first dialup days when I should be up to 8meg.

Thanks for the replies...will have a go!

Largest city in Europe without an airport.
Herbert replied to Herbert's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
No one used it because it didn't go anywhere. It didn't go anywhere beacause it wasn't long enough for long haul or transatlantic aircraft. I still think for a city the size of Sheff it's a big negative when it comes to commerce and development, regardless of how close other airports are. -
Yes that's right, according to Look North of Sheffield AKA Look Leeds we now have this distinction. The council has agreed today that development can start on the site at Tinsley to turn it into an industrial estate. Isn't this a disgrace as far as the future of the city goes?

I want to send messages between the 3 pcs on my wireless network mainly as a bit of fun with my daughter. Any ideas of free software I could use, would msn work and be secure?

And there lies the problem, too many people are more concerned about the welfare of animals than human beings. -

What a fantastic idea!! It's amazing that none of the dog owners you speak to ever confess to leaving the sh*t where it was laid. If all were telling the truth there wouldn't be a problem. It's also noticeable that the darker colder months yield more of the stuff on the streets as owners are too lazy or nesh to take pooch for a jolly good ramble in the country. -
Once again you come to my aid, with audio grabber and audacity I have set up some cheesy comedy ringtones for my phone...cheers

Dear all Having done an extensive search on SF and google I am struggling to find a good free prog to do as it says above. Windows media player wont rip to mP3 as it says I need a compatible mp3 encoder. Any help gratefully received.

Nice one...I quite like it never used tabbed browsing before. Two things I can't suss out though. 1. Can you close all tabs at once, only way seems to be one by one or close ie and open again. 2. Want to move toolbar icons all to the left next to favourites, can't do that either

OH MY GOD I'VE DONE IT!! Can't believe that once setting printer to be shared, a few tweaks in the xp laptop firewall and temporarily disabling the win2k software firewall it works. Once again the helpful folks on SF C&TC have saved me money, hassle and time. I was all for splashing out on a wireless print server type thing. I am surprised that the ability to set up wireless printing with my router is not mentioned in the documentation at all. Cheers guys :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
I hadn't but now I have, still not working. Maybe my router isn't cut out for this sort of job. Laptop running xp sp2, desktop win2k. Thanks anyway
-
tried this but to no avail! add printers searches but the only shared printer that comes up is microsoft windows network, I can't click it or go any further. Please help!! It's asking for a network address. Wireless router is DG834G. This is wired to old pc which is connected to printer. 2 laptops are wirelessly connected to router. Cheers for any help

found a couple of ok sites for windows smartphone games and apps http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/ seems ok, any other recommendation?
-
Netgear router wired to desktop pc which is parallel ported? to printer. 2 laptops wireless. Can I really just go to add printer when the laptops and desktop are not seemingly connected?
-
Does anyone use one of these devices. Have a Hp deskjet 840 printer with usb port. Use laptop on wireless broadband. Would wireless printing be expensive and would it work?
-
Hey up Lots of great advice for good free full size programs for windows. Any similar recomendations and sources for free programs for the cut down cousin of windows on my phone?

I saw this but it didn't float my boat, not bothered about wifi and didn't like the idea of the pullot keyboard every time I needed to text or whatever.

uninstalled za, installed sygate, still wont startup even though box is checked:suspect:

Talking of zone alarm...I have just installed this firewall although I have one on my netgear router. I check the load zone alarm at startup tick box but it doesnt. Any ideas, not much in startup but avg and adaware. How could I add it to startup manually? through msconfig?
