Re: Lan Wifi Network

Thx for such an amount of info.

Well, I study finance and accounting and computers and what's left goes
to computers...(www.good2know.freesurf.fr)

Anyway, I'm not too litterate with wifi terms, network and stuff, so it
should take a while until I get to understand most elements of your
answer.

What I'm trying to solve with my questions in this forum is all about a
small wifi network I'm somehow setting up using very basic tools such
as a belkin modem and USB/PCI Wifi keys. For now, there are 4 users
connected on the network.

One of the user, since I had to configured his comp, I "forecast" he
might do some downloading legaly or illegaly. The thing is that I don't
want the other users and myself to suffer from his use of the bandwith.

There also one strange thing that happen not long from now, he bought
the same USB Wifi key I'm using (a belkin 811.g key) and his key kinda
of turn down the whole network, I couldn't connect to the Internet
being 1 meter away from the modem. I figured it out after I used my key
on its computer then he could surf the web and I could with ethernet or
my internal 811.b Wifi surf the web as well.

As a consequence, I told him to change his usb key. It was quite
strange to have a simple device such as a usb key, maybe in bad
condition that could mess up the whole network from his place...when my
key (the same) was far from acting like his.

That's it for tonight, I have such an amount of work that I'm kinda
crazy to spend time now on a forum.

Hope to hear if you have some more diagnosis, but keep it simple,

Pascal

nb: I've experienced the dhcp thing, that unless I don't reboot the
modem, I see people connected on the network when their comp are at my
sight "turned off". I blame it on the cooky!

=> I took a tour on you site and I find it a bit messy but very
"consistent" which is essential after all
