    I have the same problem. With both faxes sharing the same phone line they are then tethered together. When fax one sends, fax two sees the electronic traffic as it is on the same line. Fax two will immediately see the ringing tones from the call and will answer after the number of rings it is set for have completed. So when you place a call from fax one if the remote point you are calling doesn’t answer fax one before fax two answers then fax two will receive the fax. If the remote point fax and internal fax two are both set to answer after four rings, which is the default for many faxes, then it’s a crap shoot as to whether the internal or remote fax will answer the call. With circuit delay I’d say odds are the internal fax will answer the call.

    I finally found what was wrong. I went to manage wireless networks, right clicked on my wireless network name and clicked on security tab. Security type was set to No authentication (Open). I changed it to WPA2-Personal and problem fixed. What threw me before was that when No authentication was in security box, the encryption type below said WEP, so I confused that with Security type. Anyway, thanks for all the input.

    A quick look online tells me the switch you bought is a simple, unmanaged, switch. It should be plug-and-play. Therefore your setup should work.
    The first thing I would check is whether or not the switch itself is malfunctioning. The simplest way to do this would be to connect two client computers and statically assign them IP’s in the same subnet. Something like the following:
    PC1:
    IP: 192.168.0.10
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    PC2:
    IP: 192.168.0.11
    SM: 255.255.255.0

    Then open a command prompt window and try to ping each PC from the other. If you’re not getting proper replies, chances are the switch is no good and you should take it back and have it replaced.

    If the clients do reply properly to pings, try moving the uplink cable to a different LAN port on the router.

    You have two things going against you, wireless and the fact that you live in a rural area.
    Wireless is not the best way to connect to the Internet, especially of you are are some distance from the router . It can be erratic and the further you are way from the rioter, the worse it gets.

    The fact that you live in a rural areas is a major factor. DSL speeds are dependant on the distance you are from the local telephone exchange. DSL is only go for up to 5 km or about 3 miles. After the that the speed drops of rapidly. This may be your problem

    Try connecting to the router by wire and see if that improves things.

    If you are more than three miles from the telephones exchange then there is not a lot you can do except move to an urban area.

  6. My ISP seems to have fixed the issue as my speeds are back where they should be. But the bit error rate has gone up to 1.2% on one channel and 2.3% on another channel. Is this something that is going to cause issues or is it nothing to worry about?

    You shouldn’t have started a whole new thread. You should have continued with this question in your other thread.
    But, since you have….

    If I’m reading this, and the other thread correctly, you already have a SOHO Router in place that provides bother wired and wireless access to the network. You wish to connect a second router to the first via wireless. Is this correct?

    If it is, then one of the two routers in question will need to be connected in “bridge” mode and the second router configured with TCP/IP settings that are in the same subnet as the first router.

    If this is what you’re after, do not come back here and ask us for a detailed guide to doing this. That’s what manuals and your brain are for. The chances of any of the regular helpers here having done this setup with the exact equipment you’re using is somewhere between slim and nonexistent. So you’re either going to have to figure it out yourself, or if you can’t, hire a qualified professional to help you.

  9. I guess, you're dealing with a firewall problem. The WinXP clients, using Microsoft Client for Netware uses IPX protocol, but PXE boot needs TCP/IP to boot diskless from the network.
