My parents have been persuading me over and over again to do something about our wireless internet
connection. No, its not that the router has any problems connecting the computers to the internet.
My problem is that i want to connect my computers together to enable the sharing of files,
programs, and most importantly, my printer. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use the already set
up wireless connection to link all the computers together. I've done networking with cables yeah
but never with wireless. I've tried the wizards Windows XP provides to create ne...

In some cases, a single layer 2 switching device configured improperly can cause serious
connectivity problems, especially on a large network. Problems of this nature behave similar to
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks but are slightly easier to track. Most intranets serve a central
location where other internal networks are connected. Whether it is a remote off-site location or
only accessible by taking an underground railway, it's usually the best place to start
disconnecting backbones to find out which physical subnet is causing the problem. Broadcast storms
are ge...

From time to time, my internet connection falls out; It's been happening since i installed XP
again. In the beginning it was 2 minutes after you started up the pc. Happily, now it's jsut
when you download a big file or so. Does anyone know how to solve my problem?? Thanks, Michiel...

I just purchased a D-Link wireless router, a DI-524. On my computer i connect through dial up to the
internet. I have been trying to figure out how to share this connection through the router, but i
haven't been able to because the router is made to hook up to an external modem through a WAN
port. If there is a way to share my connection through this router, please help me with how. ...

So i have 12 computers i just bought, all with XP Pro, and i need to connect 6 of them to the
internet, and not the other 6. but they all need to be on the network. so how do i go about doing
this? i've not recieved clear answers on this from anyone i've asked. how can i prevent some
of the computers from accessing the internet through the always on connection, but permit them to
communicate with each other over the network? is there a program available, or is it possible to do
it simply through the registry and windows settings? any help or advice is much appr...

So..in the picture below you can see the schematic I made. The internet enters in the first PC thru
the DSL box , and I wanna connect the internet PC with the other PC's with a giga lan speed. For
that I think I will need a second Lan card because the internet PC only has one lan port. Next I use
the Dlink 8 ports Switch. But I don't want the internet go from the internet PC thru the Dlink
and to the other PC's. Because I don't wanna put firewall and stuff on the other PC's.
But maybe with this setup, the internet will just naturally stop at the firs...

Hi, I am running a Broadband cable connection on a sb5100 modem on a desktop windows computer and i
am wondering if i could share the internet connection between it and my Apple Macbook pro running on
Mac OS X v10.4. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated....

Hi, I've been thinking about getting a dual wan port router for awhile. It is my understanding
that I will beable to plug in 2 cable/dsl connections and beable to use the combined bandwith as
long as I download with multiple connections (i.e. 4 connection newsgroup servers). Is this correct?
What inexpensive 100$ router would you guys recommend for this. Thanks, ...

Is there some way that I can use remote desktop without it locking the user's screen? As if
i'm trying to troubleshoot a problem over the network i want them to be able to see what i'm
doing to their machine so they can learn, but I can't figure out how to do it. I don't need
it to have dual keyboard and mouse input, I just need the monitor on their end to be enabled as well
as mine. Possibly a third-party program is available for this?...

Just took a look at one of my user's computer and found a very strange problem. For some odd
reason, he must sign into AOL in order to use his internet. I would understand if this is required
if he is using AOL as his main connection, but he is using a dedicated cable service line. The same
thing is happening to his other computer (requires him to sign onto AOL first before he can
connect). After playing around with it for a while, Internet Explorer connected without
AOHell's assistance. I made sure AOL was completely signed off and tried a few more websites and...

I have a Linux box with three ethernet ports (NIC cards). I could easily give it more. I have one
ethernet connection to the outside world at college. College's ethernet policy is amazing, as
they give us IP addresses that in theory are fully routable from the outside world (haven't had
a chance to try it out). Unfortunately, I have another computer, my primary laptop, that is
connected to the internet, and no switch or router. I was wondering how to use my Linux box as
either a switch or router. What I want to do is the following: 1) Connect the Linux box ...

Since I haven't had any luck with my internet connection sharing problem which i posted
previously, due to the terrible quality of service here, i've decided a second connection may be
the answer. I won't give up the cable because i also have 2 phone lines on it, plus cable tv,
but I will get a 256K DSL connection in addition to my 128K cable. The benefits of this will be that
it's double, plus i'll get the full 256K connection for myself without having to share it
with other users. (I explained previously about the 10to1 ratio used here in pakistan)...

I just came around an interesting article about vdsl, the next generation of connection speed you
can read it here ...

I have been experiencing slow connection on my WiFi network. There are 2 AP's (accesspoint) 1 is
connected to the router upstairs, and the other is stand alone downstairs. Both the AP's are in
WDS mode (bridged). I noticed when they are in WDS mode, the connection speed at the downstairs AP,
slow down alot. But the connection to the AP upstairs is quite fast. Modem --> AP 1 (WDS
mode) ~~~~ (WIFI) ~~~~ AP 2 (WDS mode) ~~~~ Notebook The AP1 (upstairs) is set as the master AP, &
AP2 is the slave AP. So why is the connection slow??? the signal strenght of ...

Hi, for some reason I can't connect online to my wireless router in a Power User account. I
have to fiddle around with it a lot to make it work (disable wireless adapter, uncheck box so
windows won't configure wireless...then set them back again and again...). I don't have any
problems connecting in my Administrator account. Is there a setting in Group Policy that is
affecting this loss connection? Again, it seems to happen a lot in the Power User account...because
I got it working and even restarted to log back in the same account - still online, so I sa...

i just got a free wireless access point from work...it is a measly 11mbs access point and i have a
wireless 802.11b card in my desktop...i plugged an internet connection into the access point and the
three lights...one for power, one for network, and one for wireless connection...all lit up...the
power was steady...the network blinking when the internet was plugged in and not when it wasnt...and
the wireless blinked steady...actually geting more steady as i got closer to my wireless card in my
desktop...so everything is working so far...i go to my desktop and search for ...

I'm trying to share the internet connection with no success. I have Internet with CableAccess.
I'm using a SB5100 Motorola Modem. I have a hub, and old one (but working really fine). I
connect two computers and the modem to the hub. I have proof some configuratiosn, but none of those
works. I set the two computers using dynamic IP (thus my ISP config uses DHCP), but just one
computers has internet Then I tried to set one as a default gateway, and config the other with a
ststaic IP, first with and IP in the same range as the other IP's machine, then tried 1...

Hey i was just wondering is it possible, since i have two computer (looking at buying my own, the
other two are family owned) and a ps2 all wanting to be connected to the net, i bought a switch. It
is a 5 pot switch and i have one port spare. See my adsl modem is connected to the switch and then
my two computers and ps2 connect into that becuase they are in the in the same room. Ok now to my
question i was just wondering since, i want to have my own computer in my room and able to connect
to the internet and network ( i live in a two story house, my room is upstairs so i...

Hi, I'll put it simple but if you need more info on this, please ask. I have this problem with
the intranet of one of my cousin's clients. Suddenly, out of the blue (AFAIK), the PCs connected
through the ICS host cannot access most of the websites, but some of them can. For instance, they
can access Google, but no Yahoo. The host computer can access all sites. Mail works OK, and I could
ping and trace any site, even the ones which doesn't work in the browsers. And by the way, the
browsers do resolve the IP correctly, no error message is displayed on any co...
