Networking - networking laptop to PC

Hi, I recently installed RealVNC so that I can look after a remote computer on my network. I have
installed the server on computer a and the client on computer b! The server is running in service
mode and has been setup with a password for authentication. My first problem comes when I try to
connect from B to A. I get different errors messages including Connection Timed Out and Connection
Refused. I have unblocked the ports on windows firewall (ports 5920 and 5820 (thats what im using))
and opened a series of ports on my router to allow access. Using command prompt and ...

I don't know if that is the right title but here goes. The computer I'm on is connected to
the internet via dial-up and has a printer connected to it. My computer has no internet connection,
but has many graphics programs and things that I would like to transfer the the internet connected
computer. I had the computers networked when I had highspeed internet and a cable modem, but
I'm not sure how to network them now that their both not on the internet. So my question is,
how do I network these two computers? (I know it's probably very simple)...

Does anyone know how I would be able to change my MTU, Maximum Trasmitting Units on a Wireless
networking router. In particularly a Linksys super-g Router. I need to know to connect my xbox

hey everyone...i was wondering if someone could help me with a problem we were trying to hook up a
computer to my home network and realized that the network on the computer was a domain while the
rest of ours at home were on a workgroup. so, i had the computer join my home work group instead of
it's previous domain. the join was successful but once the computer restarted, we can now no
longer log onto that computer! is there anyway to bypass the network logon? my father has
extremely important work files on that computer, and we cannot log on! i tried canceling ou...

Hello Folks, Long time since i last posted here. Anyways, I am having problems or rather having
issues about networking my PC with the MAC at home through a Modem+wireless router. I have been
using a normal DSL modem since i switched to broadband 5 years ago. A Lucent Cell Pipe 20A USB. I
finally decided i needed to change my modem because firstly the drivers werent updated any more and
secondly the product is discontinued. I bought a new Wireless ADSL2 + Modem router. This is what i
was told to buy as i had no idea of what i needed for the upgrade. Its a NETGEAR DG834G...

I have just installed a dual boot setup with Windows XP Professional SP2 and Ubuntu 7.04 on a DELL
Inspiron 1501. While I did the installation no cable was plugged into the NIC. After plugging a
network cable into the NIC I'm having the problem that Ubuntu recognizes and can work with the
NIC without any problems, but in Windows XP I can't get the LAN connection to show up in Network
Connections. So I have therefore narrowed down the problem as not being on the hardware side. I
tried running the Add Hardware wizard with the installation CD inside and instructed ...

Hi all, i have just recently upgraded my home network to a wireless connection. I have a older
laptop (maybe 2 years) that doesn't have a built in wireless lan. i am trying to work out what i
should do for a wireless lan adapter. Should i get a USB connector or a PCMCIA card? i borrowed a
friends PCMCIA card and put it into my laptop so see how the range was! it was really, really bad!
my friend also lent me his psp to test the signal sstrength. The PSP could get 100% strength while
the PCMCIA card could get nothing. does this mean that the PCMCIA cards are bad? al...

I have 3 PC's all XP, networked. All 3 have internet access and are part of the same work
group. PC #1 can access shared folders on PC#2 and PC#3. PC #2 can only access shared folders on
PC #1. PC #3 can only access shared folders on PC #1. PC #2 and 3 can't access shared folders
on each other. Any thoughts?...

Just bought a new Laptop and would like to configure it to connect to my PC for File Sharing and
Internet . My PC Details are as follows : Connects to the Internet via a ADSL USB Modem. Cellpipe
20A USB modem. PC has 1 Dlink Network Card (Internal). My Laptop Details: Its a Compaq Presario
V5233EA with a built in network card and wifi. I am completely new to the networking scene so

the computers and it connects. Just that the first time it showed me that it was u...

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)...

What Im looking to do: Hook up 2 computers (one upstairs and one down) and my xbox live. 1) Is
wireed networking significantly faster than normal networking? 2) Can't you get special adapters
and have your network only give info through those (to prevent network hacking)? 3) With wireless
networking would you have to buy adapters for each computer - I think some wireless routers require
it. 4) If I would need those how would that work with xbox live? 5) Any other info on these sorts of
products or if there is any you want to suggest? I use adelphia.net isp & when i...

Hi, I want to configure a laptop so it will work in both static and dynamic (DHCP) environments. I
have setup my home network using static IP addressing but the college uses dynamic addressing. Home
is using wireless and I guess if it's used at the college, it will probably be wireline. Was
thinking about this over the other day and just want to verify if this will work (since the laptop
doesn't belong to me...and I don't have access to it a lot of times). If I set the default
connection (TCP/IP Properties) to be automatic obtain IP and the alternate conn...

I have a laptop that can't see other computers on my network. I try to map a local drive Z: and
I go under My Computer > Tools > Map Network Drive > Browse > Entire Windows Network title > MSHOME
and it is right there it says that it doesn't have permissions and to contact the network
administrator (which I guess is me). I have ran the network wizard on it with no sucess either. I
know it is connecting to the network because I can see it on my router's connections screen. My
other laptop which hosts Z: connects fine and so does my other computer. That lapto...

I'm trying to set up a small home network between two computers. I have SUsE linux on one
computer, and XP pro on the other. I believe I have the hardware end sorted out, but I am having
much trouble with the set-up of the network devices. on the linux machine, it is asking for an IP
address for the computer. I don't know what I should put, can someone clue me in? On the XP
machine, it is trying to renew my IP address, but it will not renew it. It than says that it has
"Little or No Connectivity". I can't hook the computers up to a brodband internet to get th...

I recently purchased myself an XBox, but now I find myself in a pickle trying to get it networked up
without having to take it and set it by the router everytime I want to get on Live. The situation
is that there's two phone jacks in the entire house, neither of which by where I desire the XBox
to live, the router, Netgear WGR614v4, is hooked up to one and the computers all connect to it
wirelessly. I'm done trying to figure out a way to get it to work without buying any more
networking equipment, even though I still don't like paying $70 to $100, so I'...
