That's my old car ...got rid of her in 2009....how is she?

Slightly off topic but similar.... Years ago my sister-in-laws husband had a 205 GTi and one night somebody put two bricks under the rear while it was stood at the side of his house and stole both rear wheels. He came out in the morning to go to work, jumped in the car and...you know what...

Flippin' 'eck that's a good price - Microdirect are selling them for £38-66

The main point is not so speed up the internet. I don't expect it to have any effect as the ADSL modem is restricted to 10/100 anyway. I want to put a NAS box on the network and it's seems a waste to stick it on a 10/100 network. I also backup the machines over the network so I'm hoping that...

Now that's saved me some money then. Thanks for the assistance.

But back to my original question - if I mix 10/100 devices and gigabit devices on the same network do all devices drop down to 10/100? If thats the case I buy a new gigabit switch, connect it to my adsl modem (with built in 10/100 switch - I can't change this it was supplied by sky) and it...

I cant change the DG834 - it's provided by Sky and the Broadband settings are locked into the unit. I'm still within my first 12 months of the contract so I can't start "hacking" into it to try to get the user/password out of it. This means I'm stuck with this and its 10/100 network. That's...

I work in IT and so I'm pretty computer literate, but networks aren't my strong point so I'd like to run something by people before I spend any money. I'm looking at buying a NAS box at some point for storing music etc etc and opinions on the web seem to be that NAS without gigbit network is...

Mine had exactly the same problem - Renault dealer fixed it under warranty.

I have to make trips to Rotherham for work and I dont use Woodhead any more, it's always full of lorries. The road over Saddleworth and through Holmfirth is always quieter (and quicker) - and the twisty bit going up onto the moors is a nice bit of road

There are 2 Trophy's in Stalybridge. I've got 64 and 74 belongs to a guy that lives up near Stalybridge Celtic. Its mostly when I'm walking home from the station that I see the CSL - if you see some maniac jumping up and down at the side of the road by the station it'll be me!

I live in Stalybridge.... ollie - is your CSL the one I've seen some evenings around Stalybridge Station? - sounds wicked!

My sentiments exactly - I use the train to go to work so the Clio is my weekend toy.

I'm 43 with a Trophy :)

Wednesday evening - just kept stopping, for no apparent reason, again and again. Then you don't know whether to stay in the fast lane or go into the middle lane, and whichever you choose the other ones starts moving while you're at a dead stop.
