netBook (64mb) on broadband WiFi

Can anyone help with the best default settings for Opera 5.14 (36) and the above?
I've looked at mobileopera.com for advice but there are a lot of choices. Have used Psions for 10 years but am new to the netBook.

Also, with all the Psion expertise using this forum couldn't some Psion programers take it a further or am I being naive?

Thank you in advance
Richard

Hi Rick,

Happy to help, but what settings are you referring to?
Kees vd Straten

Hello Rick,

Go to the control panel and choose Ethernet.
Make a new setting

Show connection dialog: yes
If idle: 30 min.
On exit: 0

Push then edit
Service
Configuration: DHCP
Divice: Lucent WaveLAN / Orinoco Card

Options:
Basic
WaveLan: Here your network name
Advanced
AP: high
Transmit: 11.0 Mbps
Power management
Card power: yes
Receive: yes
Maximum: 65535
Encryption
Enable encryption: Yes
Key1: your wepkey (till 64bit, 128 bit it's to high for your card)

Advanced
ARP: 1800



Go to your router
Enable the MAC-filter, the WEPKey and the IP-Filter



This is the way I work.

Preferences in Opera 5.14 with 64mb netBook and WiFi

Thank you Kees,
My ethernet settings for the card are similar and I've changed the ones that were not.
What I'm most interested is how ALL the settings in the Preferences of Opera should be done.
Cache; Disk, Ram, Misc.
Connections; General, Performance
Documents Preferences; General, Performance
Multimedia settings
Plugin settings
In other words - everything please!
Thanks!!

Hi Rick,

IIRC, not all the settings that you can set within Opera's menu will 'stick'. The only way to change some of them is to manually edit the Opera.ini file (not as difficult as it sounds). I have a copy of this file already optimised which I picked up somewhere. I'll post it on my site later this week (and please remind me if it hasn't appeared by Friday!).

Cheers,
Martin

Rick try our own settings.

I have enough memory on my netBook (extra 32MB)
If Opera is slow open your cache settings.
Preferences - Cache

Disk cache
Disk cache - I have 5000 kb
cache documents yes
cache images yes
cache other yes
Empty on exit yes

Ram cache
Documents cache size 1500 kb
Images cache size 1500 kb

Misc.
check redirect documents and check redirect image: yes


This settings will speed up your Opera

To all,
Thanks for the advice (keep it coming!)

I agree with Kees about the settings though I would also check 'cache rendered images' and I have my RAM cache set to 2000, but all in all I doubt it makes that much of a difference, but as Kees highlighted -- empty on exit! lol Smile

Hello Matin,

I can't find the ini-file in the Xtra page
MartinG

I uploaded it last night Kees and just checked this morning on my work PC - it's definitely there.

I think you need to flush your cache. Wink

Yes, I think so Smile
but I can't find it on the Xtra page even with my PC
I see:
- MagicKeys
- OandX
- Othello V2
- PhoneManPro

There isn't a file named Opera and I can't see the Opera-icon.

Please help me Laughing
MartinG

It's there between OandX.zip and OthelloV2.zip - Icon and description...

Thank you for the link.


Stange, I can't see the item with FireFox.
I wipe the history in FireFox, but no result.
With IE there is no problem.

Strange, strange, strange.

Then I switch the PC off and on,
and now I see the item Wink
Kees vd Straten

There is one thing I don't like.
In these settings I identify myself as a IE surfer

See by Menu - Preferences - Connections - General --> Identify as

I change that into "Opera"


And the cache up to 5000

Thanks to all

I'm getting there!

Kees,

Thanks for your information. From your settings details, have managed to finally get my netbook working through my wireless card.

Really pleased, to have joined the online netbook community

Very Happy Very Happy
