I'm Using The Latest Technology... And It Rocks
No more fecking wireless.Having fucked around with the Xbox/Wireless/Laptop/DVD Burner to watch an episode of Heroes, I'd had enough.
So I invested in 2 Solwise 200MB "homeplugs" - the network connections that use the mains. £120 from Amazon. Yes, another £100-odd quid spent on networking gear. How many times is that? Let me think. ADSL. NTL. ADSL+wireless. NTL+wireless. Now this. Enough already!
And the transfer speed from laptop to desktop is phenomenal. Unfortunately, the Xbox network adaptor seems to be goosed, so I can't test that, but when I get it fixed, it'll stream slicker than Flyguys' patter.
Alas, with Battlestar, Heroes, The 4400 all off at the moment, there's no urgent need to get it fixed.
