If you can tell us who your host is we might be able to help determine where to put your files and if there are any other issues. Otherwise you could call your host's tech support and have them help you out. Most of them are good about help with these types of issues.

Do you have the index.html in the public_html folder or in another subfolder?

Who is your host?

Those wiki articles are talking about connections within your local area network (inside your home) not the wide area network (your connection to your ISP).

Specifically they are talking about increasing your connection speed by using two network interface cards (this is what you plug into on your computer) on your computer. This way you can increase the amount of data you can send to other computers within your home. This will not affect the speed you have on the internet.

No you will not be able to combine two networks to increase speed. unfortunately you are limited to the speeds the your ISP provides. You could try to switch to a better provider in your area.

Here's a comparison on most of the major browsers. http://lifehacker.com/5352195/browser-speed-tests-chrome-40-and-opera-10-take-on-all-challengers

For myself, and general everyday surfing, Chrome is the winner. It loads extremely fast, handles JavaScript better that any other, and does not have the memory leak problems that seem to plague Firefox when it's open for long periods of time.

If you have Windows 7 professional, enterprise, or ultimate and a processor that is capable of virtualization, then you might not need to downgrade. Windows 7 has an add-on called XP compatability mode. http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/08/04/windows-xp-mode-rc-now-available.aspx

Vista does not support 16bit applications, but you can use DOSBox.

Download DOSBox

Setup Instructions

That product is not compatible with Vista http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=OmniPage&v=Nuance%20Communications&uid=11&pf=1&pi=7&s=Omnipage%2011&os=32-bit

You could try to run it under Compatability Mode, but it might not work under it either.

Using Windows Vista Compatibility Mode:
Windows Vista, like any new operating system, will have problems running some older versions of applications. This is especially true in Vista, considering all the changes. Thankfully there is a compatibility mode that can be easily set per application.

To configure the compatibility mode for an application, just locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe, selecting Properties from the menu.

Select the Compatibility tab:
Click the box:
Run this program in compatibility mode for:
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

You can choose to run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode, or even all the way back to Windows 95 compatibility.

There are different types of licenses for Windows. At the most basic level there are three types: Retail (FPP or Full Packaged Product), OEM (what vendors like Dell and HP use) and Volume License.

Windows OSs are not available to purchase as volume license to begin with. You have to either purchase a machine with Windows preinstalled (OEM) or buy a retail copy. After that you can purchase upgrade OSs under Volume Licensing, this would allow you to have one key that could be used on all machines.

As far as product use rights for Windows OSs -- You can only use it on one machine per license.

Windows applications, such as Office have different product use rights. They usually allow for use on one desktop, one laptop, and one remote connection used by the same user, but these rights can differ depending on product version.

Yes, you can use a second router as a WAP. But, do not use the WAN connection, give it a static IP outside the range of the DHCP on your other router and disable DHCP on the WAP.

Here is a picture explaining it: http://www.burchwords.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Linksys_-_Router_to_Access_Point_final.jpg

and here's a further tutorial if needed: http://geekness.eu/content/how-turn-wireless-router-access-point

Just for further clarification. Most home "routers" are actually a combination of a WAP, router, and an ethernet switch.
