How many networked devices do you have?

Apple, Linux, Technology, Web Add comments

I currently have 9 devices in my house capable of communicating across a network:

Device Wireless Wired Web access
An Apple MacBook running Mac OS X (which is currently being repaired) 11b+g Gigabit Yes
A desktop PC running Kubuntu Edgy Eft 11b+g Gigabit Yes
An old desktop PC running Damn Small Linux None 100Mbit/s Yes
A Sagem Livebox which acts as an ADSL modem, firewall and router 11b+g 100Mbit/s Yes
A Sagem IPTV decoder None 100Mbit/s No
Three Nokia mobile phones (6021 / 3020 / 3021) GPRS USB Yes
A Sony PEG-SJ20 Clié organiser Infrared USB No

How many do you have?

Special appeal to those living abroad: please don’t make us salivate too much…

    Home 1:

    Apple MacMini - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Netgear DG834G ADSL Router - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Belkin Wireless Repeater (wireless + lots of concrete = not good) - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.

    Home 2:

    Dell Desktop - 802.11b/g - 1000MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Shuttle SN51G2 - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Sony Vaio T1XP/L - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Netgear DG834GT ADSL Router - 802.11b/g - 10/100MBit/s - Web = Yes.
    Sky Digital STB - no wireless - Modem - Web = No (walled garden perhaps).

    Mobile Devices:

    Nokia 770 Internet Tablet - 802.11b/g & 3G/GPRS via bluetooth to phone - Web = Yes.
    Nokia 6233 - 3g/gprs - usb - web = yes.

    I’m not convinced those living abroad will have devices that will be that much more advanced to what is available in Mauritius. Just more likely to have more of the same.

    A Sagem Livebox which acts as an ADSL modem, firewall and router
    +A Sagem IPTV decoder
    these i guess form part of the MyT package.

    + a prolink adsl router(was using that as modem before myt. now acts as central hub) 100mbits ethernet for everyone.

    + 3 desktop computers and 1 laptop(my brother’s).

    + a number of cell phones (i don’t have one so i don’t know the exact number)

    + one hell of a lot of cabling…
