Webuser Forums: Wanadoo wireless Broadband

This question might be better of being posted in the networking forum. Having said that, it was posted a few weeks ago, and I don't recall there being a solution.

If it's true that the Wanadoo service only works with certain products, then I think that it's terrible, but I doubt that it's breaking any competion rules, since there's plenty of competion in the market place.

I'm no expert, but I'm surprised that an ISP's servers can tell the difference between the connection from a stand-alone PC, the connection from a PC running Internet Connection Sharing, and a router.

When I was unfortunate enough to have an account with BT Openworld, it claimed that it wouldn't support connections through routers. What it actually meant was what it said - it wouldn't help me if I needed any help, but it didn't stop me going ahead and doing it myself.

Having bought my brother a LinkSys wireless router to go with his Wanadoo broadband connection, I'd like to know whether anybody has managed to get things working. He hasn't tried his own connection yet, because I'm still fixing his PC.
