are hubs available with their own firewalls?
   Thanks for help.

I have a Linksys WAP54G wireless access point and a   WPC54G notebook
adaptor.  The access point is mounted on the wall near the ceiling
around the center of my house. I often use the laptop at either end of
the house, around 20 feet from the access point.  I am getting around

I am new to this newsgroup and I hope someone can help me.   I have
installed a Linksys BEFSR81  router and we have a home network with 4, PC
and an Xbox  connected.   Everything works well,  and PC's connect to the
internet.

I have a little theoretical question that needs answering.
I'm trying to set up a wireless network, a quite big one. Therefore I
figured that I needed some access points to enforce the signal.
However, I believe that most access points cannot connect directly to

I've got an old computer (so old it's gotta run W95) with no USB, but I do
have a working Ethernet card for it.  I'm wondering if Ethernet to USB is
possible.  Every adapter I've ever seen is the other way around (USB to
Ethernet).  Am I S.O.L.?

I'm looking to hardwire two home.  What brand / style of crimpers and rj-45
connectors seems to work the best?  I'll be going through walls, so wall
plates will be used.
Thanks

This is a general and perhaps stupid question so my apologies in
advance.  I am new to wireless.
Let's say, for example, I want to make a 54g wireless network with a
54g wireless router and several 54g wireless cards.  Do all of these

Well, I got a laptop with both a Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port on it.
Usually I'm using Wi-Fi unless I need to do something really intensive
between two computers within my home network, such as printing or file
transfer when I switchover to Ethernet. Now although 100BT Ethernet is

I've been going crazy trying to figure this one out.
I have a Netgear WGR614 Cable/DSL Wireless Router 54 Mbps/2.4 GHz that I
bought in early 2004. At the time, I only had 802.11b cards in our laptops,
and everything worked fine.

I have a homebuilt XP MCE 2005 machine that doesn't seem to like any NICs.
The box is built from an MSI 865PE Neo2 MB, 1G RAM, 2 - 200 G WD hard
drives, Plextor DVD burner, Soundblaster Live, Hauppuage Win-TV PVR 350,
Nvidia 5900SE. I'm connecting through a hub and I've checked ...

Anyone know where I can see published a comparative study of the signal
strength of various routers?
I am having what I suspect are everyone's problems with transmitting a
signal through a few thin walls in an 80s building and (for example) Buffalo

Sorry for my inexperience, but I'm looking for some basic advice to get
started.
We are looking to add a Terminal Server and file server to our office (let's
call this NETWORK B), but want to be sure that any remote users terminal

I have a home network setup using an 802.11 B router and three computers.
I would like to upgrade the router with a newer 802.11 G type.
If I "swap" the routers and set it up to connect to the internet, would the
new router recognize and pickup the existing network, or do I need to ...

I need a router and explicit instructions on how to make a share the DIAL UP
54K Internet connection. Host is Desktop with internal modem. Client is the
Laptop with integrated IEEE 802.11b wireless. I have a BROADBAND Linksys

I want to buy a wireless router.  I am confused about the difference between
the 108 mbps routers and the linksys 54g with speed booster 35% higher.
It seems that this linksys 54g 35% speed booster is the faster they have,
but I see many other brand 108 mbps routers....  the ...
