I am the same way, I use a ROM that fits my usage perfectly and gives no issues with all the modding I have done to it. My signature says it all. Once you have it right where you want it, I would leave it alone unless you have SPB Clone where you can make an exact copy of the phone and go off and play with it and screw it all up and restore it in less than 10 mins.

1) How does the ROM install/uninstall programs or files and not need to be defragged? Or are their defrag programs for WM6?

2) Next question, there are like 6 or 7 network adapters listed on the connection adapter tab. Which one controls the internal 6700 WIFI?

3) I tried to set the DNS per Ran-O-Matic and Computercarl on the one that said WLAN but it had absolutely no effect on the WIFI connection.

4) Lastly, as far as security is concerned, is MAC filtering just as "effective" as WEP? I thought that I could activate that pretty easily through the Network Magic program I'm running on the laptops if the WEP happens to be the problem.

5) Oh, and I do get an IP address issued to the 6700 192.168.1.47. Don't have a ping utility for the 6700, though.

Ok, well lets try this again……

1) You can defrag, I use an app called Pocket Mechanic located here.

2) Because I use a custom ROM mine isn’t setup like yours so I cant give you a good answer on this one. I can get you some screen shots of mine if you want but they are different from what you look at on your. What are you trying to find or do?

3) 3) I didn’t think it would be a DNS issue because usually when you cannot resolve DNS you will not be able to surf. To confirm this you would be able to go to Goolgle.com by typing its IP address of 64.233.167.99 and for instance you can click on the two links below and they will both take you to the same site. So since you could surf, I didn’t think it was DNS related. You can usually surf faster by IP than you can DNS because it take some time to translate an alphameric address into a numerical.

Google.com
64.233.167.99

4) Neither MAC nor WEP is really effective but it all depends on who is trying to hack you and in most cases that’s no one because no one cares about you. They would rather go hack bigger connections, databases and businesses. However, you could disable WEP and go unsecured and setup MAC filtration in the router and limit your DHCP IP addresses and hard code all of them to better secure your network. An example is below.

1 network with 5 devices would have WEP/WPA(2) plus MAC with a DHCP range starting out at 192.168.1.100 (default for Linksys) and ending at 192.168.1.104 and this would give you ONLY 5 IP addresses to be assigned to those addresses. Also those limited addresses must be assigned to EACH device ‘statically’ for firewall configuration or LAN port priority management in the Linksys.

Desktop – 192.168.1.100
Laptop – 192.168.1.101
Xbox – 192.168.1.102 + MAC (if wireless)
6700 – 192.168.1.103 + MAC
iPhone – 192.168.1.104 + MAC

This way you are somewhat protected in 3 ways (network connectivity-wise). You have WEP+MAC+Limitied DHCP IP addys.

5) That IP of 192.168.1.47 may not stay the same the next day or next week as they are set to release and renew every 24hrs. Only if you statically assign them will they remain the same. As for a ping utility, I have Pocket LAN, WiFi Companion (which comes with (Ping and Traceroute)
