O K,

hangover has gone,

I set my router to only use the MAC from my wireless pci card, and from no other cards as far as im aware thats safe ?? If not then ill encrypt it.

I dont think theres anyone else in my street/range that even uses wireless ofc, im not 100% sure but im semi confident its ok. They are mostly older couples no kids, no 1337 hack0rs

Ive come over from ADSL, and im not exactly sure if i have set up my router correctly.

I set it up as DHCP,mixed mode wireless, tbh there isnt that much i can see on it that is worth changing. should i enter the MAC of my router in there somewhere? Has anyone written a guide how to set up ntl using a WRT54G?

the NTL street cab. is about 20 meters away from my house and i live about 2km from the telephone exchange, does that make any difference?

I noticed today when i switched on my PC a box appeared saying synching with server 12343/7039393 or something crazy.... is that these local cache things? As i say i have no real idea how DSL works compared to ADSL.

can i unistall this Broadband Medic utility its really getting on my nerves!

I think i may format the entire system and start from scratch and see if its anything on my end causing a problem.

IF i was just experiancing some weekend contention then, well, hmmm It may be ok but if its still a bit pear shaped after trying all these things. Oh deary me.
