Networking made easy with Belkin

Advantages: Quick and easy to install | portable | works
Disadvantages: More expensive than internal card | lead could do with being a bit longer

...When I bought my newest computer, I decided to set up a mini network using the new computer as a host and then linking the old one via a crossover cable, which connected the two through their network cards. It was then that I realised that I only had one Ethernet port on the computer, which was already taken up by my cable modem. I was therefore faced with a choice, I could either buy a network card that would need to be fitted into my computer, or I could buy a USB to Ethernet adapter. Well seeing as I really didn?t want to open up my brand new computer, I decided on the adapter, which wasn?t really all that much more expensive. ---What you get--- The adapter comes supplied with an installation CD and instruction booklet, all securely packaged in an slightly oversized box. As this is powered by the USB port there are no power...

Speed up your network

Advantages: Fast excellent buld and drivers
Disadvantages: Price

...Recently Ive become involved in an armature computer games event which means my computer is oft used for high peen LAN games I felt it might be worth increasing the network speed a bit by upgrading the network card. Generic Network interface cards (NICs) seem to have taken over recently however I always have a soft spot for 3com's card the 10/100 3c905 range was the among the most stable fast range of PCI interface cards ever I thought I would try out the new breed of card. I bought my card "new" from ebay for £10 plus delivery, generic 1000mb card can be bought for around this price new from most PC resellers. The Package ************** The package arrived sealed in a 3com cardboard box inside which was the NIC in a plastic wrapping the driver cdrom and a warranty manual. It also had a brief guide swing how to insert...

Xbox 360 network adapter, to buy or not?

Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless
Disadvantages: very high price

...i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had a 30m ethernet cable running down my stairs which is not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the network adapter. THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360 theres a light which is green if its working and red if its...

Neat Netgear 5 port gigabit switch

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, simple to use
Disadvantages: None.

...about anything other than configuring the devices themselves. I would recommend this switch to anyone who has a few machines on their home or small office network, that way you can upgrade the speed critical machines on your network to gigabit speeds. I bought my two to allow me to use one with my media server and file server, and the other in my living room to connect the laptop, XBOX and so on... By having a gigabit switch, it allowed my machines with gigabit ethernet cards to network at full speed with each other, so that transferring video and large files between them was not constrained to hundred megabit speeds you find with most home and home office networks. I think the 5 port switch is pitched at the right price, and has the right number of ports for the average home user who will usually have one or two computers and a games...

Xbox 360 network Adapter

Advantages: Cute,Compact,Attachable
Disadvantages: Weak signal,Very expensive

...Microsoft and their proprietary products are poor performance,and too expensive.This adapter detects the same network my pc adapter detects but only 1 bar of signal.My pc adapter has 5 bars on the network.The xbox adapter must not have an omni antenna and the gain is probably 1dbi.I tried to opened this crap and put a higher gain antenna but the connector is a sub micro connector specially made for microsoft to screw us.I still could have rigged a better antenna,but i accidentally lost an ic chip trying to pry this thing apart,now there goes 70 bucks,never again. Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

Very fast, very impressed.

Advantages: Fast transfer rate, reliable
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapter came built in to my pc, and I wouldn't want to replace it. It provides a fast, reliable connection. Was easy to connect to and set up a connection with other pc's, laptop's, etc. Great for gamers or business' that require wired link up between machines, servers or both. Felt like the data transfer was instant, so was perfect for backing up data from one machine onto another Driver's are very easy to get hold of, just download them straight from the manufacturers website. Which also has very good support, if any problems should arise. Very fast if needing updating due to new driver releases. I would highly recommend this ethenet adapter to anyone. Especially gamers or small businesses....

Cartoon Network.co.uk

Advantages: Fun and entertaining for children
Disadvantages: None

...NOTE: I am writing this review on Cartoon Network's website. I used to check out Cartoon Network's website when I was a lot younger. I checked it out again recently and I have to say, it has lost its enjoyment value. This website would be a great way of entertaining your kids and keeping them entertained for a long time at that. It is full of great, fun games that your kids are bound to enjoy. The games are all based on the cartoons that are shown on the TV channel. The website is so easy to navigate around too, so even the youngest of kids, that have little computer experience, will have no problem playing and enjoying these fantastic games. Some of these games can not only be fun but also very educational which is a huge bonus, as it helps the kids learn whilst doing something they really enjoy. Overall, I think that Cartoon...

Belkin wireless G USB Network Adaptor

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not enough information on software or packaging.

...I recently bought a Belkin wireless adaptor when I went into a house share and needed to have the internet. I use the internet but I know little about the technical side of things. I paid £19.99 for the adaptor in PC world who only had Belkin at the time which I thought was not expensive. However installing it was a nightmare. The 3 easy steps on the box seemed so easy; Install the software, plug the adaptor into a USB PORT - start networking! If only it was that simple. Every time my computer searched for a network it crashed. I phoned the Belkin company who took me step by step through the technical part and still we could not get internet. Eventually the Belkin assistant told my for some reason my computer was not recognising the new network. Being increasingly frustrated I considered taking the adaptor back for a refund...

A-F's Underground Network reviewed.

Advantages: Powerfull, fast, Lyrics.
Disadvantages: Similarity of songs.

...songs it do the main job, its fast, loud and sounds amazingly with the rest of the instruments. You can hear that the boys from A-F used lot?s of techniques, and have bring new things to their sound, making themselves even more original than they were before. Lyrics are really good, again they are from heart of people who resist the tyranny, who are tired of being slaves, who want more from life than tv channels etc. Underground Network is one of the best Punk albums I?ve ever heard, the only minus might be that the songs sounds little bit too similar, but what do you want from a Punk band? If you like to listen to punk, or want to get know more about it, if you already listen to punk and needs some music to keep you going in fight against tyranny this album is your best shot!...

To network or not to network????

Advantages: can get you a very well paid job!, world wide
Disadvantages: alot of info to take in, can get very confusing!

...First of all, What is Cisco? Cisco is a networking course, which is split into four parts, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 1, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 2, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 3, and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 4. In each CCNA, there are around 15 online mini tests which helps you to pass the final exam. In my Cisco class, we aim to do 1 mini test a week, and on the final test for each CCNA part, we must obtain, 70% or more, for a pass. Cisco in general teaches you how to connect two or more personal computers to each other and enable them to communicate, which can be used to share a internet connection, share printers, to send files, or even have a massive game, against all your mates! which is also known as a LAN party! Types of networks There are many types of networks...
