My Network

1)I have a cable connection with At&t. ISP SBC Internet Services

2)My download speed is 2.92 Mb/s and upload speed 85Mb/s

3)I think it is wireless because I can go about my apartment without a wire connection. I do have a modem that works with the outside router but I'm not sure if that is mainly for my tv or internet service.

4)From what I was told by the set up service man was that I had a password that someone would need to enter my network, so he told me to secure my password. I wonder if I need to change it periodically for a safer network. Is it possible for someone to figure out my password? I have a WPA PSK security and the only firewall I'm aware of is the Windows firewall that protects my system.

5)I need to backup my data for my laptops, asap. It's one of those things I've been meaning to do for a while now. I do have backup discs for my desktop computer though.

6)Yes, I just purchased a special computer cord to setup both my computer's to share information and items I had stored on one because I got tired of going back and forth between the two. I have an Epson printer/scanner that I got deal on when I puchased a laptop at Bestbuy. It is installed to both laptops and when I need to print, I put the Epson USB wire into the laptop and press print. My next thing to learn is how to print without using the Epson USB wire, similar to a libraries printing setup.
