Hi guys, just hoping that someone could advise me about a technical problem.
I have applied for an on-line job, they asked me to do a system check to make sure my equipment is up to speck.
They told me:
that I must have a local router between my comp & the internet to run the workbooth software. It seems that my IP address is a direct connection to the internet. Either disable the connection or place a router between it and the internet.
How do I do this?
Also I do not have enough memory I have 383 mb and need 512 mb.
Can I increase this by deleting programs that I don't use? Can I buy more memory for my laptop? Its a Compaq.
This may seem like a silly question but I have no idea about these things and I don't know who else to ask.
I appreciate any ideas.
Thankyou x x

You will need to get either an adsl or a cable router, depending on whether you have a bt or virgin media line.
deleting programs does not increase the available memory, you will need to buy more, I recommend visiting https://www.crucial.com/uk, enter your system make and model and they'll tell you which ram you need to buy.
hope this helps.0 -
Who provides your internet? (BT, AOL etc)? Some of them provide a free router, otherwise they can get quite expensive.I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right0
