i have been using the D-Link DI-604 ethernet router,
it has an inbuilt firewall but i have no software for it,all what was on the CD what come with it was the manual,
should i have some kind of software or dont i need to set up the firewall,

steve

scussy, the firewall will be running in the firmware inside the router. I don't know this particular router but normally you would type the address of your router into a browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.1 ), log in to the router and set up the firewall. Should be covered in the manual :-)) It will be worth however checking the manufacturer's website for a new version of the firmware before you start.

scussy, k has already answered this and I put some more in the other thread. You may well find that the firewall is on by default .http://www.adslguide.org is normally a good site to check for info on particular routers

7thF many thanks worked a treat :-)))

Some of you with long memories will remember I had a problem displaying stockwatch and level 2, as well as some other sites. Well, everything is now sorted after various emails with medion but I had to do a complete reinstall of everything to get there!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help :-)

Nearly a month since the last post on here. We must all be a right load of PC experts. :-)

My reason for posting? I wondered if anyone had bought the 19" TFT Monitor from Aldi at 299 recently, and if so, I wanted to ask "Are they any good? If so, could you recommend one?"

I read a bit about them here:

Following a computer breakdown,I recently had a new computer built by a friend,and installed Symantec Internet Security 2004. Since commission I have been unable to view streaming sharts on MAM. I had 2001 on the old machine and never had this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Roger.

Try re-installing Java.Cured mine

After my recent rebuild, almost everything is working well but I can't get my laptop speakers to work at all so I must have lost the sound driver somewhere along the line.

I am running Windows XP on a Tosh Satellite.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

This might be the driver you require:

I had that problem with my Tosh laptop you have to download a new soundcard driver from the Toshiba site.

Thanks Optimist, I'll take a look. G.

PS It is so nice and quiet here just now I wonder if it is a good move anyway. ;-)

What's a wild tangent web driver?

Thanks!
Now, how do I get rid of it?

If you do a Google search for "wild tangent web driver uninstall" it brings up quite a few links but nothing that looks like a one click solution.

It appears that it can sometimes be removed using Add/Remove programs so you should check there first.

Some people regard it as a hijack so it is worth running Spybot S&D to see if it recognises it.

Cheers Optimist - I ran Spybot and that's how I found it - it's been pretty busy since Wednesday, when it appears to have installed itself in the start-up menu. Hmm, it threw up 37 bits of spyware in total...but I've just installed adaware, and it found another 300 of the darlings. Oh, and I tried to zap the wild thing with the add/remove thingy, but it won't budge. :(
