How is a computer tracked using Internet?

Every computer connected to the internet has an IP address (such as 1.2.3.4) that is shared with the other computers on the same connected through a router, modem, gateway, etc.

Then when you use your internet connection that IP number is like you online number and is completely unique to you so things can be traced back.

What type of wire is used for TV's or cable modem?

Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.

Can you hard wire 2 computers using a wireless router connected to a cable modem?

Maybe. I have a couple Belkin 54G v6000 and v8000 routers that can do this.

If the routers support "wireless bridging" (also known as "WDS", "Repeater", or "Client-Mode") then you can set up one in client/bridge mode and the other as a host/router.

You'll have to check the manual and see if this is supported, and how to configure it.

A decoder (dstv, hitv, e.t.c.)

A cable modem

Lan cables

A router ( to connect more than one sysytem)

and some little knowledge of configuring your network.

STEPS:

Connect the cable modem (with the splitter) to the co-axial port of your decoder

Connect the RJ45 cable to the LAN port of your system

Turn on the whole system

Open your LAN and configure with 127.0.0.1 port: 8080

Then start your free internet.

512Kbps to Mbps?

0.5 Mbps.
1 Mbps (Mega Bit per Second) = 1024 Kbps (Kilo Bits per Second)

What is normal latency on cable modem in millisec What does TTL stand for on ping test?

Normal Latency of a cable modem is ideally between 5 and 40 ms. For a DSL modem this is normally 10 to 70ms. For a dial-up modem, this is normally anywhere from 100 to 220ms. For a cellular link, this can be from 200 to 600 ms. For a T1, this is normally 0 to 10 ms.

Whereas,

TTL or Time to Live refers to how many routers your packet can go through before it expires. Usually a packet finds its home in less than 32 hops, but 64-128 is a good default

What would be causing the upload test to fail during an internet speed test?

maybe because of network problem..i.e. slow server response or overload depends on situation

If my internet speed is 54mbps why is my download speed only 54kbps?

Your internet speed is not 54mbps. That is the rated speed of the wireless system. (It never matches that, but that's the rated speed.)

The internet download speed can vary quite a bit depending on a number of factors. Find out from your ISP what what speed you are entitled to and compare against what you are actually getting. If it doesn't come close to spec, complain to your ISP.

What is difference between lease line and ISDN line?

Leased line is a permanent fast internet connection. Unlike ISDN If needed you can connect your company with a very fast leased line from 64k - 2MBs while ISDN maximum speed is 128 K.

A leased line is an ideal solution for a company who wish to trade on-line 24 hours a day.

For users with small capacity demands ISDN offers three distinct advantages over dedicated leased line:

Cost. Because ISDN is an on-demand technology, you only pay for the time each B channel is active.

How do you manage download speed with hughesnet?

There are two main factors that can slow down your HughesNet satellite Internet download speeds. The first is peak times and the second is FAP limits.

Peak times for HughesNet satellite Internet are those periods when many users are sharing the same bandwidth. Typically this begins when people arrive home from work (around 4 PM) and lasts until they all hit the sack (around 10 PM). Weekends are also consider peak time periods. Using HughesNet, or any satellite Internet provider, during peaks times is going to result in slower download speeds simply because of network bandwidth congestion at those times.

For faster downloads of big files, it's best to start them during the early morning hours. They'll usually go a lot faster.

The other issue is FAP (fair access policy) limits. If you exceed your allotted daily bandwidth limit, HughesNet will slow your download speeds to 56 Kbps (dial up speed) until the next 24 hour period begins. This is done to keep a handful of satellite Internet users from hogging all the bandwidth in a particular area and slowing down the service for everyone else in that area. If your downloads are particularly slow on any given day, you may have exceeded your daily HughesNet FAP limit.

Just FYI, HughesNet has a three-hour download period from 3 AM to 6 AM that doesn't apply towards your FAP limit. Again, it's better to do big file downloads in those early morning hours . . . you'll stay within your FAP limit and avoid the slow download speeds at peak times.
