Hi

ever since i built my home network more than a year ago there has always been a problem with my brother's pc been able to use the internet, i've tried different NICs and bought new cables and nothing seems to work.

I was think perhaps with the cable going through a wall(dunno whats in the wall meanin cables etc) TV, Hi-Fi, PS2 and other electronic appliences close to his pc and therefor being close to the cable maybe hes getting interference and maybe an STP cable could possibly work better.

anyone got any solutions?

thanks

Dan

New router?

I doubt anything in the walls will be your problem. Are you using your computer as a gateway or do you have a router?

yes i do have a router and no i don't need a new router....it did it with my last one too

aw... hmm......

gimme time to think and ill get back to ya

Ok you remember the problem i had with the router yesterday well i found a site which offers a few tweaks and tips for the router and so far so good.

thanks

Dan

good do you use cablenut?

no

Oh i would get that just for a boost. Probably wont help in our situation but just a tip.

And have you tried to re-do your home network?

Hi

Do you mean like starting all over again reseting everything back to default?

if so then yes i have hes.

Im building him a new pc sometime this week so i'll see if that makes any difference but i don't think it will just seems to be one of these things...

thanks

Dan
