Everything you need to go wireless should be in the kit!Originally Posted by rosiemac
My new broadband kit was delivered yesterday so the computer guys coming tomorrow morning to have a look at what other bits i need because it's probably going wireless, so hopefully i'll be logging on at home soon
SKY who i'm going with have said i would need a wireless adaptor?. A couple of people have scared me about this wireless as well by saying people can easily tap into your computer from outside, so i'll have to have a word with Keith otherwise i'll get a socket installed.Originally Posted by Sar

I'm 99.9% certain that theres a firewall in with the SKY package but i'll double checkOriginally Posted by AbbysMom
Yes, if you do go wireless, people can tap in. If you have a firewall installed on your computer, you should be OK
Oh, how odd that they provide you with a wirless router but not even a USB WiFi dongle!Originally Posted by rosiemac

What a good idea with the paintball!Originally Posted by AbbysMom
A friend was telling me that in his city, people drive around looking for the wireless connections. If you have one that is easily accessible from outside, they hit the curb with a paintball, so people know!
Thanks, Karen! I've done as much of my MOT pretest as I can (without my Haynes) and it seems everything is ok, so hopefully all will be good without a big billOriginally Posted by AbbysMom
Good vibes for you car Sarah
Oh now hang on!, SKY did tell me about one of those dongle thingies as well!Originally Posted by Sar
Oh, how odd that they provide you with a wirless router but not even a USB WiFi dongle!Our Wireless (Freeserve/Orange) provided one USB dongle - the issues came with me connecting my macs!
Ah yes, you do have all the bits!Originally Posted by rosiemac
Oh now hang on!, SKY did tell me about one of those dongle thingies as well!This is all because i havent got a BT socket in the room the computers going into so they mentioned the dongle or the wireless adaptor.
I must make sure i go through all of this with Keith tomorrow.
It's either go wireless, or have a BT extention cable running from downstairs up to the girls room where the computer is going to be ( which i don't want ), or pay BT themselves £150 to have a socket installed!. £150 for a tiny socket!, pfffft noOriginally Posted by Sar
Ah yes, you do have all the bits!The Dongle will attach to your computer and speak to your wireless router!
