Anyone who has Network wired thier house/flat - in here please!

If you need a small patch cabinate (dont think i have any patch boards left) or lengths of cat5e cable (uncrimped) then drop me a line (email in trust) and we can sort somthing out as i have 5x305m of cat5e for some reason :)

Cheers I will drop an e-mail :D

Edit: I was trying your e-mail all night yesterday, and tried it today morning. It's not working. Something to do with your SMTP server for Nildram?

Edit 2: I tried a different mailboc, and still got this same error message:

The following message to was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:

All the wires are going through the loft incase it's not clear. OT, but the reason for the mains power cabling (generator + wap extension lead) being messy (i.e. non permanenent) is due to wiring regulations meaning it would have to have it done professionally to allow direct connection (instead of to existing sockets).

Until recently the two PCs in the study had been wireless clients but due to the naff cards in them kept dropping out and so my parents got me to wire them. So now the WAPs only get used for my brother's laptop, my laptop, and my sister's pc.

Don't have a patch panel and unfortunately since wiring my parents PCs the switch is at full capacity meaning my laptop is limited to 54mbps (had to sacrifice its wired connection). Hopefully will get a bigger/additional switch soon. As it is the cabling is marginal in terms of the standard of tidyness I would like but then it was all done on a limited budget so meh.

Thanks for that! It really did help. God knows what you're running though, I mean an extranet server...and UPS!! ;)
Really good setup though. What I might do is where you've got your Cat5e cables showing, stapled to the wall going to the study, I'm going to feed it through some trunking to make it seem a little professional :)
 
Hehe it seems bigger than it is, 'extranet server' just runs a few small websites, e-mail server and hosts things like my sig and then some for Team OcUK FAH. The UPS was about £50 off an auction site, and the generator was installed years ago when we moved to the house; so I recently decided I may as well make use of it (along with some lighting circuits).

Trunking for cables is a great idea, would have done so myself but my dad was paying and didn't particularly care, but then the cables are covered by curtains high up and then a filing cabinet further down. I made a right mess of the clips leading to the outlet though :o

Using loft space is definately a good idea though for keeping things tidy :)
 
Okay here is what my setup is going to be like:

Internet -> Router (non wireless) -> Switch -> Patch Panel -> Various Network Points in the Flat

Now one of the network points in the living room is going to accomodate for a wireless access point. The reason I didn't opt for a wireless router is because it is going to be in a cabinet with the switch and patch panel thus resulting in poor quality.

Question is, can I have a wireless enabled network with just a wireless access point?

Thanks

As a follow on of my previous post i'm talking about these:

Also, is it possible to get a module with an "in built" ADSL filter?
Otherwise i'll just "build" the filters into the face plate by stripping the filter of its electronics and shoving it in the faceplate :D

You need a filtered master socket (I have one installed)

FYI: The official name is NTE5 master socket.

Not just yet as i have been unable to get into the workshop. But as soon as i have them i will mail them to you (aslong as your mail addresse in your trust works :))
 
Thanks EVH for the info. Thanks BigBoy for your help too.
Thanks for everyone else contributing to this thread as well.
I should have this mumbo jumbo up and running after my exams :)
 
exsBass.

Your network setup souds like the way I have mine setup. I am currently using 2 AP's one upstairs and one downstairs and it works without a problem. just make sure your AP is compatable with your router and dont go buying a cheep one as it will do you no good.
