[jaws-uk] Re: Wireless Protection

I must confess I have never looked in My Network Places but I would doubt it.  
MNP here at work just shows the network drives I have access to.  I don't have 
a BT hub myself but on my Netgear router, I enter the IP address of the router 
in IE and this gives me a log-in screen, which after logging in, displays a 
'Show Connected Users' link, which when activated, lists the names of the 
computers and their IP addresses using the router.

Cheers
Chris

If someone logs on to your hub, would it not show you in My Network Places?

There should be an interface to your hub that you can log into and once in 
there you can display a list of connected users.

Hi George,

I am currently paying for option 3 which is supposed to be up to 8 megabites.  
Is there anyway of telling if someone is tapping into my connection? Anyone 
know just how secure the BT home hub is?
Thanks
 
Dave

Hi Dave,

The only way I know to check out speed issues with any degree of certainty, is 
to run some tests at decidedly nasty hours of the day or night, when there are 
likely to be fewer users around.

I think some providers are pushing the "contention ratios"
just too far, and what may have been 50 to 1 when you got it installed may be 
more like 75 or 100 to 1.

For example, I find that Saturday midnight to Sunday 8am, my download speeds 
are close to 2MB, yet by mid-Sunday morning when all the kids get on line, it's 
down below 1MB

George.

Hi all,

I have seen some posts concerning wireless protection on wi fi etc I currently 
use a BT home hub with my main pc wired to it and my wife uses her works laptop 
pc wirelessly.  In the last few weeks, the internet download speed has 
seriously reduced and I have had concerns about the security of my system.  
Could someone be using my connection and causing the slow connection?  My wife 
had to load a security code onto a memory stick and transfer it onto her pc in 
order to connect to the hub.  Has anyone else noticed a general slowing down of 
broadband connection speeds?
Thanks in advance.
 
Dave
