    Help! Wireless noob in peril!

    Download netstumbler and run it to see how many other networks surround you. Pick the channel that has the least number of networks on it given that the networks on the channel you pick don't have high signal strength. This will give you a start to knowing how much RF interference you may...

    Multiple Access Points

    Why even complicate this with flashing routers. The standard firmware is fine for the use. Odds are if a person is asking a question like this they don't even need any of the few additional features that other firmware would offer.

    Security on Gaming Only PC

    If you think your going to have problems with your "performance" PCs due to antivirus....... Your really in for a treat if you don't run any antivirus. Nod32 would be a great choice. Be sure you don't have it set to update the antivirus definitions every hour. This can be set to be done at a...

    506e Pix replacement

    I take it that 10 maximum users means that only 10 of my devices on my network would be able to access the internet? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833120135 In that case this 50 max would mean I can use 50 devices behind this ASA...

    Remote Desktop via SSH and error message

    ohhh this is fun stuff. I had a great guide for this once. It looks like that guide you were using isn't too bad. I didn't read it the whole way though. Make sure that you use the right source and destination ports. You can also replace the destination computer name with the computer's...

    LAN Party Networking

    Ditch the hub. Hubs repeat all traffic on each port when it comes in from a port. This is probably a huge part of your performance issue. Thats quite a load for 2 wireless routers, not to mention that if you have both of them on the same channel then they are interfering with each other. If...

    Thats strange... I'm using win7 on my desktop and have had no issues using RD from XP home or XP Pro. When I get a second computer with win7 I'll have to see if I can recreate that issue. Edit: Upon further testing from a remote location... I can only seem to somewhat recreate that issue...
