The Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance, now known as the Wi-Fi Alliance, was formed specifically to test 802.11-based wireless network products from different manufacturers to ensure interoperability.

What Makes Wireless Networks Different
Posted by Mumyls on May 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Wireless networks are an excellent complement to fixed networks, but they are not a replacement technology. Just as mobile telephones complement fixed-line telephony, wireless LANs complement existing fixed networks by providing mobility to users. Servers and other data center equipment must access data, but the physical location of the server is irrelevant. As long as the servers do not move, they may as well be connected to wires that do not move. At the other end of the spectrum, wireless ne...

Google and Your Privacy
Posted by Mumyls on May 2nd, 2009 at 8:11 am
If people fear one thing about Google, it's that Google might invade their privacy in some way. That's a natural fear. As Google creates more and more services, it can gather an increasing amount of information about you. And there are also worries that Google tracks all of your searches, and it could then easily create a personal profile of you and sell the results to the highest bidder. If you want the whole story of Google's privacy policy, head to the Google Privacy Center at www.google.com...

Installing the Wireless Router

To create a wireless home network that includes a connection to a broadband Internet connection, you need a wireless router.

Backtracking EMAIL Messages
Posted by Mumyls on April 6th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Ask most people how they determine who sent them an email message and the response is almost universally, "By the From line." Unfortunately this symptomatic of the current confusion among internet users as to where particular messages come from and who is spreading spam and viruses. The "From" header is little more than a courtesy to the person receiving the message. People spreading spam and viruses are rarely courteous. In short, if there is any question about where a parti...

Create An FTP Server On Your PC With Serv-U
Posted by Mumyls on March 25th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Quote: Step 1. Getting a static IP address. Get a static address for your FTP server. You will want to do this as opposed to using your IP address for several reasons. First, itâ€™s easier keeping up-to-date. Imagine having to change all of your setting every time your IP changed. With No-IP, the No-IP service runs in background on your computer and updates your current IP address with your FTP serverâ€™s URL (for example, you get ftp://rkchoolie.serveftp.com). Second reason, you ...
