What do you use to transfer large files from linux to windows over your local LAN? If you have lots of very big video files use Bittorrent in LAN only mode. It's an extremely efficient and easy way to sync stuff. -- Kolmasaika |

Well, it simply means that the upgrade procedure is badly designed. Ie, it attempts the actual upgrade without having completed and verified the upgrade package in some local memory. Where I live, Internet itself could crash in the middle of any download, and come back a minute later on another IP. Ditto for those devices that allow starting the firmware upgrade with a half charged battery. Bad design. -- Cheers, Carlos. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Yes, I'd say the same. I wouldn't reject it out of hand, but I would reserve it for the case where wireless isn't practical or where you need slightly greater reliability than wireless can provide, especially if you ever need unattended operation. It avoid the need to run Ethernet cable round skirting boards, down the edge of carpets, under doorways and through holes drilled in masonry walls. Most modern houses can use a single router, positioned somewhere centrally such as near a convenient phone socket in the hall or the living room, and you can get wifi reception throughout the house. I've chosen to site out router in my study (with a ribbon-cable phone extension to feed it) so my main PC can be connected by Ethernet: I need that PC to be accessible remotely by Teamviewer and I've found that wireless isn't quite reliable, and if you are away from home you can't just reboot the PC or the router to restore the wifi connection. The problem comes with old houses. I've set up routers in old stone farmhouses with walls (even internal!) that are a foot or more thick. One of the worst had a satellite internet feed (because ADSL was so poor at that farm) and it was situated in an outbuilding which they used as an office (and it was not moveable except at great installation cost), and now they wanted internet in the main body of the house. I tried a wifi range extender but I'd have needed on in the middle of the yard as well as one in the kitchen and one in the lounge to get the coverage that was needed. An Ethernet cable would have had to either be buried under concrete or else flown from poles that were high enough for farm vehicles to get underneath. That was one of the cases where powerline networking was the least worst solution - fortunately both buildings were on the same mains phase and the guy was an electrician so he confirmed that there was a bonded earth between the two buildings. Two powerline devices, one plugged into the router, with wifi turned off and the other in the house with wifi turned on, were sufficient to provide coverage. |

That's an absolute no for me. I'd only consider on isolated houses with no neighbours. Sorry, I forgot to mention that the farmhouse I described with three-foot-thick walls had no neighbours. If you don't use powerline, what do you use instead? Do you daisy-chain wifi repeaters or do you run Ethernet cable along/through walls, either to each PC or to wifi repeaters that are not in range of the router? Are there wifi-to-Ethernet converters which can supply a network connection to a device that only has Ethernet and no wifi (eg our Sky box) and which are out of easy reach of an Ethernet cable (without drilling holes through walls)? |

Sure. Any wifi router will work. You run an ethernet cable from the one router to the wifi router (The WAN link) and then you have wifi.(You do this right beside the Sky box so no holes needed. Power is however needed, but then the sky box probably needs power as well, that that shuld be available) Now 3 ft think walls might be a problem for wifi to get through, so that would be my main worry, assuming that the sky box is on the other side of the wall than the computer. If you can run ethernet (up the attic and down the other side of the wall for example) you could put the wifi in an area where there are not walls between the wifi and the computer. |
