Broadband Internet & computer networking tips, guides and product
reviews for Aussies.
Comments and suggestions are welcome, or if you find something
missing from here that you'd like me to cover please email
me and tell me about it. (No more tech support requests please.
Besides not having time to answer these lately, I'd much rather
see these go to public forums where a lot more people can help with
the answers and other people can benefit from the discussion too.)
You'll often find me in the Whirlpool
Forums and BigPond Broadband newsgroups
where lots of other people gather to share information and tips,
or if you need a quick answer to a problem, take note of the error
message and type it into google.com.
It is amazing how many times this will find the necessary answer.
