I've been helping my neigbour with his office. He has a windows 2000 computer on broadband with a usb frog and kerio firewall, virus checker all patches etc and also his main office photocopier/printer. This then has a network hub so a second computer can surf via internet connection sharing as well. All his other computers are seperate from the internet but sometimes when he has a lot of...

I have a Netgear DG811 modem/router with a Belkin 54G wireless access point plugged into it. My main PC is plugged direct into the router. I've just built a new PC which has WiFi on the motherboard. It sees and connects to the wireless network with no problems, and it can see shared drives from the main PC. However, if I try and copy large numbers of files across to the new PC, I only manage...

Can anyone explain on how to set up port forwarding on the Zoom X5 router. The manual is not clear at all on setting this up. I have already set up PF for P2P file sharing and this works fine, but have had no success with remote desktop. Both pc's I will be using have XP Pro with SP2 and using Windows firewall.

Hi, I currently run a Netgear DG834G as my router connected to ADSL and running my desktop and laptop over the wireless network. My question is; I also have a Netgear DG824M, which is a ADSL/LAN/Wireless router, can I set this up as a second access point on my wireless network to run a small wired network in my garage? Obviously the ADSL modem part would

Hi there I want to set up a home network, with access to the internet. I want my network to have several cabled outlets (say up to 8 spread around the various rooms in my house), and also wireless access. I am not quite sure exactly what network equipment I need to buy to realise this. I will either use an ISP which delivers via cable or one which delivers ADSL

Hi There, I have a PC that is running on a local area network, that I use as the main server. I connect to this regularly and use it as my main stay PC. It has all my documents and files, etc etc on there. Just recently I have been advised that other people on the LAN may be able to access the Remote Desktop of my server. I've done all the obvious stuff like use a password that is 'hard...

Hi, Has anyone managed to get MSN to work via CCProxy or indeed any other proxy software, as I have tried many times to get MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger to work via proxy and all have failed miserably. How come microsoft can't make a version that works via a proxy server? Seems daft to me, when everything else under the sun works just fine via proxy.. Does anyone know how to make MSN...

Wonder if anyone can help me, I have a DG834G which is set up as 192.168.0.1 on my network, this presumably makes the default gateway 192.168.0.1. Is there any way of making the default gateway something else, without changing the IP address of the DG834G from 192.168.0.1? Is the default gateway always the address of the modem/router? Can it be changed? If so, how would I do...

Anyone got this working fully? I don't seem to be able to configure long (40 character) key phrases. If I do then I never get a connection. I'm using DG384G v1.05.00 and WG511 v3.00. Also, any idea why the WG511 (supposedly) allows 8-63 characters whilst the DG384G allows 8-64 (63 vs 64!). Thanks, Paul DS.

Hopefully someone can help me here. Just visited some friends and returned an XP box that I have cleamup etc etc - Viruses / spyware etc. I have advised them to get a hardware ethernet modem / router for their BT Broadband, not the USB Speedtouch they are currently using. But in the meantime they have just got a s/h iMac G4 !!!! So now I have suggested a wireless network.

Hi I've a SOHO with 4 PCs 1 Win2K and 3 Win98 I've put a dual boot option onto one of the 98's and it now has XP on it as well. When running in Win98, I can connect to my wireless router and surf the web. If I boot in XP mode, I can see the router but I don't get an IP address allocated (I do in Win98). I've tried static addressing but it still

Just thinking about adding a wireless facility to my home network. I find Wake on LAN a useful option. Do any PCI wireless network adapters have Wake on LAN - via PCI bus, or WOL cable? My current PCs use WOL cables. -- John Blundell

I have just bought a new PC fromTiny, unfortunately the instructions are not very good. It has a MSI 'Wireless Software Router' which is really confusing me. It can work in AP Mode or Gateway Mode. If I try to check its properties, everything is greyed out and a message says that Windows is looking after it. I have tried to set it to Access Point mode to just connect my laptop to my

My homebuilt media centre PC is wired to my DG834G router and I connect to that from my laptop over a wireless connection. Several of the drives/folders on the server are shared and I have permanent drive mappings to these defined on the laptop - e.g. M:Music, P:Pictures, S:Software, V:Video etc.. But access to these drives seems to appear and disappear at random and I haven't a clue why....

I am just wanting to know, as I have recently started using WPA-PSK on my home network, and would like to know whether the key I entered is automatically changed by the system, or if it remains the same all the time? Thanks Shelby

Further to my posts of yesterday, is anyone out there connecting to Virgin ADSL using a BT Voyager 2000 Wireless Modem / Router. Trying to get a mate up and running on Virgin, but he is on a tight budget, so got a s/h voyager off eBay for him. Tried it on his Virgin ADSL line - no connection.
