I've set up a home network which has two desktops, one using XP2 home and one using 98SE (although this will be upgraded soon) and a laptop running XP2 home. I use outlook express to access email everyone in the family has an account with the same ISP (all associated with the main account). Email is downloaded to the PC so only new mail is stored on the server. I've created accounts on the XP...

My home network is hooked up to the Netgear 834G running in 802.11g mode. I know want to purchase the HP Ipaq RX3715 but it only supports 802.11b - does that mean I have to 'clock down' to 11b to run all the devices or can I run my 2 PC's and laptop in 11g mode and the Ipaq in 11b mode? Thanks

Now my network is up and running ( 70 hours now ) and I'm a firewall expert :-) I have been transferring some files. The wireless connection varies form good 48Mbps to excellent 54Mbps, however when I transfer a 90Mb test file XP reports a network utilization of only 10% and the files takes around 220 seconds to transfer between computers. -- Muzz reply to uglyduck NOT spamfrog

I am planning to connect a desktop (winXP home) to a laptop (win98SE) using wireless 802.11g. I have found several adapters made by ASUS that fit my needs and price range. Does anyone have any experience with these? are they a) reliable b) easy to set up and use? Thanks in advance

Hi, Can anybody advise me on the nest place to learn about network installation in Lancashire/Preston area. I don't need to know about the software side of it, I'm a programmer by profession, but I need to learn about the actual CAT5 installation, conduit routing and crimping the plugs etc. Finally, is any sort of formal qualification required to install networks (hardware) for businesses? My...

I'm another person with a problem with my ADSL/Wireless connection! I haven't yet found any relevant answers on Google so here's my question... I've been trying to set up someone's new ADSL connection so that it works on multiple computers (all WinXP). The ISP is OneTel. OneTel supplied a modem which is connected to the computer via USB (the only option - no LAN direct from the modem). I...

I have a ADSL router modem at home, I have a couple of PC's hooked up to this with IP address of 192.168.9.10 (W2K) & 192.168.9.11 (XP), how can I access both of these systems from work or elsewhere? I've been told I could use VNC or Remote Desktop but how I configure this, advise or links would be great. Regards

My Netlimiter 1.30 isn't recording any stats for the most programs. Some like Teamspeak and Teamspeak server only show stats for upload but not for download. Any ideas how to get this to work since this would be a very important feature for me

Hihi, I've set up quite a few wireless networks now and am really happy with configuring ADSL modem-routers & connecting to them under Windows XP (I prefer SP2) and Mac OS X. I prefer Netgear kit where possible, as I really like the web-interface on their routers & I like to use WLAN cards from the same manufacturer when I can. However I seem to be having some problems with the WG511 card...

I know this was already discussed, but the problem happened again, and the instructions that were left by phoenix have expired. What is the correct order to turn things off/on and wait for testing, etc. If you didnt read the last topic I made on this, then I will enlighten you. I have got a working network, but my router is unable to connect to the modem. This happened before and somebody...

I've got a small problem logging on to my home network since I have enabled WEP. At the moment I have four WiFi connections, two laptops running XP Home, a handheld running PocketPC2003 and a TV connection (Netgem) which I understand uses a Linux OS. Since I decided to tighten up my security and enable WEP I've had the problem with one laptop;

Hi all, I have 2 machines running WinXP and Win98SE. The 2 machines are networked together with Actiontec wireless LAN cards running in AdHoc mode. The XP machine is connected via ADSL to the net. I recently reinstalled Windows XP after my HD died on me. I've decided to use the SP2 firewall instead of my old Mcafee one. However I have a problem. The XP machine can browse files on the...

Hi group. I've just started having a dabble with TightVNC and I can see how this is the answer to a maidens prayer when I get called by mates. (Being the one who knows 'a little bit about computers'). Well I do only know a little bit, and virtually nothing about the black art of networking. Anyway, it's a little OT but here goes: TightVNC works great here at home, I can connect to a machine at...

Hi, No, this isn't as easy as you thought it would be.. :) I have tried wireless, have a Linksys WAG54G-UK broadband Wi-Fi router but for some reason the upstairs PC has a very intermittent connection and I have tried different channels and positions and nothing seems to help.. So I am looking for an alternative..

I got a D-Link DSL-G604T router from santa ! I have one PC wired and the other one wireless. Both machines can connect to the Internet no problem, but they cannot seem to see the shared files on each machine. I have got as far as being able to search and find each other by right clicking an 'My Network Places'. The only folders listed underneath 'My Network Places' are the ones on the machine...

Wife just got me a Netgear Dg834gt adsl modem wireless router and wg511t laptop card for christmas. I am totally new to this game but have managed to get the internet connection on the laptop and on the main pc but cannot get the 2 computers to see each other at all. The main pc is connected by cable to my lan card and laptop via wireless. I have run the network setup wizard but to no...

Got the wireless network going using no encryption. Accesses my router to change to WPA and got this error: Privacy type is set to WPA. Multiple SSID support will be disabled. When I click OK it deletes the PSK string I have entered thus invalidating the WPA. Help -- Muzz reply to uglyduck NOT spamfrog

Hi had 2 PC's that were setup using a crossover cable. ICS worked fine, no problems. I then built another computer. This PC has the ADSL PCI modem, and connects to the router by a patch cable. Another PC also connects to the router by a patch cable. All the lights indicate there are no problems with the cable itself. When I turned both PCs on, they couldnt see each other. I delved into the...

I wanted to move my ADSL router further away from my computer, but wanted to amalgamate the Telco cable and the Ethernet 8 way cable, by inserting a splitter between the wall socket and the router and the other end. All the cables in the Ethernet cable are not used, there are 4 spare ones. 1 twisted pair up, 1 twisted pair down, but I want to know if there would be interference between the...

Although I am over the moon of my newly completed network, I am a little upset that the signal seems to fade from 100% to 80% after moving it half a metre. I have done a little research, but i'm still unsure which is the best solution. As I see it, here they a 1.) Get a signal boosting box that sits with the router and sends out a
