I have dial-up service through Earthlink. I tried opening a DSL
account with them and after a month of going in circles, they said
they could not activate the DSL because some other provider had
already activated DSL on that line. I have no recollection of having

I'm planning to go to DSL, and I'm also buying a new system. Would it be
useful to have a dial-up connection for backup, or is it just a waste of
money?

Here it is in the shortest form possible:
 I work alone in an office setting. They have DSL at my work, but
they moved it and It is LOCKED UP in now. I have no access to the DSL
modem of theirs.

I am using a D-Link DSL-604+ with my broadband account and am very
happy with it except that I cannot get a video+audio conference with
messanger working correctly: I get some audio and some video but not
all in both directions. I was hoping that uPNP would just fix all

I currently have a DLink 614+ Wireless Cable/DSL router.
When I connect to the Internet through it, I get a max of about 1
megabit in transfer speed when I'm connected by myself.  When I connect
all of the computers in the office, the speed drops significantly, even

I'm looking to put together a dedicated web server for a dozen domains that
I own.  Currently they are hosted elsewhere, with about 3 to 4 GB traffic
per month total with most of that traffic from two of the domains.  Many
dynamic pages using SSI and Perl CGI, plus SSL will be ...

I have had a frustrating month dealing with trying to get service in
the Atlanta area.
I had originally ordered service from Earthlink - this would be my
preferred vendor. After several days of trying, I was informed by

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.
I have been very happy with my Speedstream 3060 with Win-XP on Bellsouth
ADSL.  I now want to play with Linux and find there is no 3060 driver for

I wonder what's the difference (if any) between a plain Arescom 800
DSL router, and one with the "MSN" logo stamped in the case?.
I read the MSN units came pre-configured with lots of restrictive

I'm trying to set up a Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy dedicated server.  I
have all the tools necessary and can join the server when I type in
the IP address, but other's can't.  I use Zoomtown and have a Phoebe

If you are having trouble with speed on DSL you might try just
swapping your phone jack out for a new one.  I reccomend Radio Shack
cat. 279-448.  It has two jacks one you can filter for your phone and
one for a straight shot to your DSL modem with no filter.

Admitedly, I'm probably trying to do something strange, but surely I'm
missing something.
I just moved to the U.K. and own a Linksys BEFSR41 broadband router.
The question is, WHAT THE HELL do I plug this thing into? I know that

I have a DLink ADSL router setup on your typical (well, not really)
home network. The problem I have since moving to a router (previously,
it was an internal ADSL modem) is that I now seem to have a minimum
ping time of ~200ms to anything external. This created a major pain in

I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook computer with a Dell
TrueMobile 1400 wireless miniPCI card. Dell threw in a free TrueMobile
2300 wireless router. I originally thought that the router would be a
throw-away and planned on buying a LinkSys wireless router, but upon
