    Boosting a wireless signal

    I should add that I am using a laptop with built in wireless functionality. It picks up the signal but is weak so I have to sit right by the closest window to her property - not going to bore you with a layout of our villa but lets just say that is not the most convenient position! :happy On...

    Boosting a wireless signal

    Ok, here is the senario. Our neighbour in Spain (holiday home) has an internet connection which we have agreed to share. Last week I attached a wireless router to her connection and I am just about able to pick up the connection in our property. But it's quite weak. Are there any products that...

    How do I know I am paying the right corp tax?

    Advice Advice What has the accountant done wrong? All he has asked the OP to do is check their expenses. Nothing wrong with that advice. It was their contractor friend who advised creating fake receipts, not the accountant.

    Loaning money from the company for three months?

    I know that there are rules governing taking money out of the business (as a loan) and then repaying it, but I'm not sure of the rules. i.e. are the rules dependent on how long you loan the money for etc? We are in the process of buying a reposessed house as an investment and our plan is to buy...

    SAP Roles

    Hi SapGuru, We do use SAP HR but not for Payroll. Also we have a separate instance for SAP HR so it's not connected to our SAP ERP system. I moved into the PM arena as a natural progression. I went from abaper to senior abaper to SAP Development Lead and then SAP Technical Lead (same bloody...

    SAP Roles

    I'm an SAP Technical PM (ex abaper) and I'm lucky to still be in the same contract for quite a while. I still seem to be getting a lot of agents ringing me but as I don't really engage in a conversation with them I can't tell you if they are genuine or not. As a PM now I have seen first hand...

    Regaining control of Domain Name

    Thanks, I have no control over the database any more. The Whois still has me as the owner of the domain. We are not too fussed about losing the database entries since he took over. It will be a pain but the other members would be glad to see the back of him and if we reverted to the last...

    Regaining control of Domain Name

    I have a Domain name registered to me and I show up as the registered owner on Nominet Whois. The domain is used for a forum which is very popular. About a year ago one of the forum members offered to host the website for us as my server was starting to strain under the increased usage. So...

    Can you trust 'Windows Updates'?

    Had the little yellow shield icon on my PC this morning telling me there are updates to install. Windows XP SP3. I have started to install the update which is taking a while but I notice that Spybot is challenging quite a few of the registry entries which I guess is ok but I just wanted to know...

    Smartpay anyone?

    Received a letter from a company called Smartpay this morning offering a take home after fees of 88%. Anyone heard of this company or had the same letter? Looks dodgy to me! If it looks too good then it probably is as someone said. Their website is smartpaylimited dot com
