My modem acts as a router and it hooked up to a switch, the switch it hooked into a patch panel. I can not move the modem away from that spot because it needs to hook into the patch panel. I would like wireless access in a different room, but how do I set a wireless router to do that without running into a double nat?

I'm thinking of launching an on-site tech support biz with advertising. Before I do, I need insight from you about what percentage of the time that I'd be getting in my car, fighting traffic, and entering a tech support situation that is either going to cost me more in time/hassle than it's worth or where I just can't help them (700MHz HP with failing PSU, win98, and spyware).
My initial analysis is that it'll be one in seven situations.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

We use Outlook 2003 to handle our emails at the office as well as calendaring and task lists. On one of our computers, calendar entries and invites to others will get stuck in the outbox from time to time. Doing a manual send/receive does nothing to clear up the problem. Regular emails will get clogged up and stuck behind the calendar entries. If we clear out the calendar entries, regular email operation resumes.

We are using POP3 services, not an exchange server. Our antivirus software is fully updated and we regularly run spyware scans.

Is there a way to get IE6 back and at the same time install IE7?

If there isn't, is there a browser i can install separatly that is exactly the same as IE6?

I need to know not because i detest IE7, but because i need to make my website cross-browser compatible.

Thanks in advance, 10 points for a best answer :)

For years I could use the D-link DI_624 (rev.C) with every computer in the house. All machines could access the internet and see each other. Lately I haven't been able to use my router to get the work laptop to the internet, but it could be seen on the network. It worked if I took the router out of the loop. Yesterday I re-set it to factory defaults and re-ran the wizard. Everything looked great, but before I could try the laptop I created the next problem. I got the current firmware, & that cut ALL of us from the internet, although all can still be seen on the network. Resetting to factory defaults doesn't get rid of the firmware. I tried a new DI-524 I had, but that didn't help. I have re-set everything multiple times & checked all connections. I'm willing to buy a new router, but I'm afraid it won't make any difference because I have some setting fouling things up. I can still get to the internet without the router. What settings should I be checking?
