Computer Networking - June 2007

I'm currrently paying for Comcast Internet service @ 8 Mbps for $52.95

I can get Verizon DSL @ 1.5 Mbps for $31.99

I've heard that a lot of things affect the speeds and they aren't always as they seem (i.e. Comcast 5 times faster). Many things can affect the speed (how many other people are accessing the internet on your cable line or how far you are from the Verizon central office). Are the speeds really that different between the two companies?

Can someone shed some light? Opinions appreciated.

I've made it clear to him that I'm going to start taking measures to remove him from my home if he doesn't pay up. My first step is to kick him off of the internet he isn't paying for. How can I remove him from my network without getting on his computer? (Mine had the original connection). I have a Linksys wireless router.

Hi people,

For the past few days I was searching over the internet as well as through my friends, but I was not able to get the info.

i connect to my neighbors open network. the name of it is call linksys. sometimes i connect to it, and it has a great connection. but more than likely, i cant connect to it for some reason even though it shows up as having great signal when i search for nearby signals. why cant i connect to it, even though it says it has a good signal? i use it from the same spot at around the same time everyday.

I have a wireless router that I connect to with remote desktop web connection. I type my IP and my port # and it all works fine. The router I have uses a common IP address for the router. How can I change the IP or change settings to allow me to use my true IP address. What if I set up the same setup and port # on my parents network so that when you connect the address would be exactly the same.
