Even if it is not a crime, it doesn't make it morally right to steal someone else's bandwidth (perhaps its different in the US, but here in the UK most ISPs have a max download lim…

Quote: Originally Posted by CharlesS I should hope not, since there's absolutely no reason why it would be necessary to do that. The router already has the encryption key - you …

Quote: Originally Posted by Chuckit That's true, but the bandwidth limit is high enough that I can leave my computer downloading stuff through BitTorrent almost 24/7 and not hav…

Quote: Originally Posted by Dark_Lotus No. Charles, your right, anything can be hacked. If I ran a wireless network and I didnt want anyone else on it, then I would have everyth…

Quote: Originally Posted by JKT That may be true for you, but many ISPs limit it to just 2GB here in the UK which you can reach just by farting. 2 GB? For broadband? That's …

Quote: Originally Posted by Chuckit 2 GB? For broadband? That's weak. For two years I was on a cable Internet plan which limited my monthly bandwidth usage to 6 GB. That was…

Just a theory about the wireless option in the MS Zune. I think Microsoft will use the wireless feature to create a “music” version of the mini networks that allow teenagers to se…

anyone Educated in firewire yet? i know it should theoretically be possible to make a network of firewire devices including computer-- but where do i go for the items needed? how m…

firewire is a buss. It is more an advanced SCSI (but this not technicaly seen, only in use), and less a network-system. Meaning: everything transported over the firewire buss is s…

Well, it certainly is possible, but you'd have to write a library so OT could handle it. Apple has already stated it will not do it, however. I don't see why you couldn't run TCP/I…

Think different - how about a "storage" network and a regular network? It's definitely possible for multiple machines to have access to a storage array via FireWire. Dave -------…

I have 2 iMacs and a cable modem I'd like to share. Typically this type of setup would require a Mac with 2 ethernet cards, one for the cable modem and one to go to the hub where t…

First, you need to get a unique IP address for each iMac from your ISP. If they are willing to do this, it becomes easy to get everything working. Buy a 4 port Ethernet hub (a 10…

I have an Ethernet hub already, but if I even connect 1 iMac to it and the cable modem as well, the computer doesn't "see" the cable modem. I assume I simply have to have the cable…

There is a software soultion: IPNetRouter by http://www.sustworks.com/ It will let you use on e IP address with one cable modem. The only backdraw is that the iMac running IPNetRou…
