) another computer. That will make 4 including the laptop lol.
Methinks these isp's expect a lot of the average punter in setting up wireless networks.

Oh well I Lan'd up the 2nd computer, and bought myself a wireless card for the laptop.

Re: Broadband - how do you decide which?
Just a quick update on iinet.
There was a report in the Sunday Times about how they are overcharging their subscribers and making them go on slower connections because iinet reckon Telstra are ripping them off, they are just "passing on their costs," customers are voting with their feet and leaving in droves.
So add iinet to the "don't touch with a bargepole" file along with Telstra and Dodo.

Re: Broadband - how do you decide which?
Am thinking of chamging from Iprimus dial up (and lock out every few minutes) to a broadband with the 'free' telephone calls etc. I am trying to choose between GOTALK internet and phone or another broadband plus Skype
As a very poor computer user I need the pros and cons carefullyh explain ed to me (not too many syllables please!!)
Who knows what about these companies.

Bounce ....... I really do need you guys to advise me... value for money
