Just got offered a job as a junior web developer in Manchester to start ASAP but I can't withdraw from my MEng year until December or I'll be in arrears with uni. >_<

I'd take a look at the config of the router. I'd be very, very surprised if that router didn't at least support 802.11G.

If it's one of the dark grey Sagem ones, it does support "g", but has a very low gain internal antenna, so it's next to useless.

Have done, I've got a choice of 54g Auto, 54g Performance, 54g LRS or 802.11b Only.

I'd go 54g auto tbh.

Why do Sky make it so ****ing difficult to do anything?

They provide you with a ****ty 802.11b router, which doesn't cover the house - even when it's right in the middle; don't give you the PPPoA details so you can use your own router (hell, they even put it in the T&Cs that you can't use your own router).

Protip: Don't get Sky broadband.

I'd look to see if there's a way of getting into the router to retrieve those details...

Have done. There's an online tool that didn't work and that's all I could find.

You might be able to telnet into the thing. You can with my crapp3h O2 Wireless Box, which is a rebranded Thomson.

Which router have you been supplied with?

Sagem F@st 2304.

Biggest piece of crap router I've dealt with. And I've had some real **** ones.

Doesn't help that Sky force it upon you either...

Quite. I have the same one.

That said, I still can't work out where I can assign local ip addresses on my router

Urghghghhhhhhhhhhhh.

I wanted the Air and now I kinda want the Transformer. But I can get a 20% "discount" if I buy the Air this week.

What do?!

Not sure TBH. Transformer looks very nice, although I'm still a bit skeptical of Android as a tablet OS (not that I've used it anywhere near enough to judge).

That said, have you guise seen this article? Very interesting setup, kinda makes me want to try it.

I could swear somebody is controlling my computer. I've seen the mouse icon move a few times and open/close windows by itself. It stops if I 'shake' the mouse icon.

I can't be that delusional.

You'd be apocalyptically stupid to buy a MacBook Air.

Are you taking a specification:price angle on the matter?

Yes.

I was looking for functionality.
And not a standard fugly netbook.

Thinkpad.

Thinkpad.

Quick look at Lenovo site leads me to think they're quite unattractive laptops.

Also I think it'd be redundant to get another Windows computer. Hence why I'm mainly considering an Air or Transformer.
