Routers without wireless functions do not seem easy to find these days. I know many wireless routers allow the wireless part to be "disabled" but I am very suspicious as to whether it still leaks radiation when supposedly disabled. Short of buying an EMF meter and scanning it, is there any way to know for sure if the signals have truly been disabled? I realize all electrical items emit low level electromagnetic radiation, but I would like to minimize excessive exposure where possible. Would wrapping it in tin-foil block the signals, acting like a Faraday cage? 92.233.64.26 ( talk) 16:36, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
If you have the PIN of your WPS (it's enabled, and it's not push-buttom), how do you connect to the router? Do you need anything else? Is there an IP like http://192.168.1.1/ to change the settings? Comploose ( talk) 19:23, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
So, I want to attempt to host an online forum, maybe with some other parts attached too when I get around to it, however I'm not sure how. I was reccomended webs.com, but my site might have a little 18+ material at times, and it seems that is against their terms of use, so I'd need somewhere else. I do have a website, but I have no idea what I'm doing there at all, I'm not even sure how to get into the part where I say what I want on the site. So, what do I do?

Two computers: A with linux, B with windows 7. B has an internet connection, A does not. I would like to connect A to the internet via an ad-hoc network on B. This works fine if I set up an open (i.e. without password) ad-hoc network on B with "share internet connection" enabled and then connect to it from A. However if I try the same with a WEP or WAP protected ad-hoc network it does not work, i.e. I cannot connect to the internet. Is there anything extra I need to do in order to make it work? On linux I am running the following commands: "iwconfig wlan0 essid adhoc", "iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc", "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.137.5 up", "iwconfig wlan0 key s:secret", "route add default gw 192.168.137.1". I read that connecting to a WAP ad-hoc network with linux is tricky, but I'd expect that at least the WEP would work. bamse ( talk) 20:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
I already routinely use C++ and Java, and I have a good OO foundation. However, an upcoming project will require me to use C#. What is the best way to go about learning C# programming, without stating from a "novice programming" level? I'm mainly concerned with "How is this different from what I already know?" I'd prefer on online (especially free) solution to buying a dead-tree book, if at all possible. Also, this project will be done using Mono (which I will also need to learn), not Visual Studio.
