The BIOS is a setup program for your PC and is technically firmware encompassed upon the motherboard chipset. To alter this firmware, we need to 'flash' the chip with the new setup program data. What do you mean exactly? Do you just want to configure the BIOS setup program, or …

Why do you need two routers for the one LAN? Ditch the ISP supplied modem and utilize the linksys with the inbuilt modem configured with your ISP server access details. Modem addy should be 10.0.0 etc

Yep....agree with mechbas here! If your connection has been established, but you cant recieve any web pages through your browser, then something within your own operating system is denying this.

It's about a 5-7% increase in performance when you have two RAM modules of the same size and same frequency (MHz) as apposed to alternating sizes. It's nice to have, but not something you're likely to miss - processor, video card, or hard drive is almost always the bottleneck. If, …

This looks like a subnet route. Maybe you should ask the customer for an ipconfig/all from the host to establish the actual clients addresses to be forwarded from the network.

The use of a suitable networking protocol is what you need to look into to achieve this outcome. I would suggest a protocol by which a node could learn a MAC address without the need to use broadcast or multicast initially? Although the network protocol determines how address discovery works, …
