Todd & Bill's posts are spot on. I'll just supplement with Scientific
Atlanta's WebSTAR line (DPC/EPC2100), sometimes rebadged "Comcast":

<http://192.168.100.1/_aslvl.asp>

Access Level: 2 Password: W2402

All,
I have been having nearly daily service interruptions with Comcast.
They've had a technician to my house twice (when the service was
working), and when I call in for service, they note that they cannot
see my modem. They have downplayed the downtime. Here is my
question:

Is there a way to monitor the availablity of service using a program
running on one of my computers?

Thanks,
Chris

After 15 years of 2-3 kbs download speeds we finally have the option of
getting cable internet through Charter in St. Louis and instead of renting
the modem and router for $10 a month I would like to purchase my own but I'm
new to this equipment and looking for suggestions.

I checked on Newegg and I think the Linksys WRT54GL router along with the
D-link DCM 202 modem will do the trick but not sure?
I plan to have my computer as the main and the wife and daughters pickup
through a network card and not sure which network card to choose from.
Also if it makes any difference on the equipment I would like to play around
with the DirecTV on demand feature sometime in the future.

My system consist of a Asus P3B-F MB, Intel slot 1 P3 1gig CPU, 512 MB PC
133 SDRAM

Any input would be appreciated.

Q: How do I get the maximum possible DSL or cable modem speed?

Sorry if this is off topic for this group, but I know a lot of the folks
who read this group are familiar with wireless routers and their setup.

A nearby lightning strike appears to have disabled my PC's hardwired LAN
port. But I can still access my cable modem via the Linksys WRT54G's
wireless feature.

I had several PC's wired to the router via the switched ports and was
using netbeui to share files and printers. But now that I am going
wireless, I don't seem to be able to see the other PCs on the home
network. Is this not possible with wireless? Or is there a setting
somewhere that I am missing.

I am using XP sp2.

TIA,
