Hi Recently I`ve bought a DELL INSPIRON 5100 laptop, that I wanted to be networked to a computer system that I built myself. Problem is that on the Laptop the LAN led`s only stay on orange, whilst on the base machine the LAN is both Green + Amber The Base Machine is running WIN XP Pro, the Laptop WIN XP Home & SP1.

Hi Is there a good bit of preferably free software that will allow me to sync files between my laptop and desktop over the network. I keep ending up transferring files between one or the other when I am away from home and have lost the latest version of one or two files in this way. Ideally it would allow me to select who directories to sync to the latest version of a file and perhaps even...

I am having the same problems on my home network and on another one which I set up for a mate. The two systems are exactly the same. i.e. Two computers, both running XP - at home XP Pro - at my mate's XP Home. Computers are connected by ethernet cards and crossover cables. I set up the internet connections on the Host computers. They work OK in both cases. Mine is BT Openworld with the Alcatel...

I know there have been many posts about this error but I cannot find any that solve my problem. Been looking for hours now and I am getting most frustrated. I am running Office Mail as a mail server on a Win98se PC. I use Outlook 98 to send/collect mail from a client PC (also running Win98se). I can send and collect mail without any problem at all - until I have to reboot that client PC (for...

I currently have a win2000 server running ICS which acts as a firewall / file server etc. The server does what it needs to and allows the 2 PCs connected via cabling to connect to the internet. The problem I have is that I want to add wireless to this setup. The server has replaced an old Wireless Router that stopped working however I would prefer it if the wireless connection came from one of...

hi i know this is illegal but has any1 tried cracking their modem? i heard sum friends talking about doing it to their NTL broadband connection? cheers

Hi, We just had cable broadband installed in our flat and we want to share it over the network. The network setup is 3 PCs connected through a switch, and the modem is connected too. At the moment, we seem to have two networks going, one PC and the modem can see each other and the other two can see each other. The one PC seems to be getting it's IP from the modem (82.x.x.x) and the two others...

Having a spot of bother with my Wireles ADSL Modem Router. For the past seven months I have been using a DG814 ADSL Modem router with two computers running W2K, connecting to my ISP (Freeserve) without any problems. I now want to add a Laptop(W2K) to the network. Rather than put in more cabling I decided to splash out on a DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem router and adapter. On installing the router...

Hi, Looking for advice on what gear to buy to achieve my desired result. Currently have a desktop PC with an Alcatel ADSL modem and 512k broadband from Pipex. Within the next month, we'll be getting two laptops - one will be a brand new company-supplied high-spec Dell Latitude 1.7Ghz Mobile Pentium, the other will be a second-hand lower spec machine.

My Netgear 54mbps Access Point shows two status options against connections within my stations list. I get Associated and Authenticated, trouble is they keep changing and will do so whilst I am actually viewing the Access Point configuration page. What do they mean and why should they change.

Hi all, I've got a bog-standard BT ADSL line. The nice chap at BT put in a little box above the main phone socket down in the hall, laid the cable along the wall, through the ceiling to an ADSL network point in the home office. The home office is now going up a floor into the loft. Moving a phone extension into the loft is easy, so I'm experimenting with a little ADSL microfilter...

Unlike most, it would seem, I have had no big problems with ICS. I run a host PC connected to BT broadband (Win ME), and two laptops (one ME one XP) without all the hassle that some have, and ICS does the job. However..... My teenage daughter has a liking for certain resource-hungry games, and she HAS to play these on the host PC because it has the best video card. Some of these games cause ICS...

I just got a Linksys PPS1UW 1-port USB print server. It is connected to a Linksys BEFSR41 DSL router. I have two HP printers: a brand-new OfficeJet 6100 ("all-in-one": printer/scanner/fax/copier), and a much older DeskJet 970 Cse. The intent of the print server is to share the OfficeJet 6100 between two computers (Windows XP Pro and Windows ME), and retire the old DeskJet.

Can anybody recommend an audio setup for my home office which would allow me to hear 5.1 audio from my PC, CD's from my PC, and radio? My PC has 5.1 optical output. So, I could buy a radio card for the PC, together with a 5.1 amplifier and have the whole thing controlled from the PC. Alternatively I could look out for a cheap home cinema amp/dvd player which has built-in radio, and just use...

The story so far: We have a wired peer-to-peer network of up to 6 PCs (running a mixture of Win2K, Win XP Home, and Win98se), installed in a home office. The network shares an internet connection via an ISDN router (we're not yet broadband enabled). The office is in a separate building from the house, about 5m apart. Walls of both are solid stone (house is a converted barn, office a converted...

Hi Just setup a small wireless network of 3 computers, all is working fine amazingly. One of the computers is left on 24 / 7 but lately I've noticed it's crashed and needs a reset to get back working. Is there any software that would monitor each computer on my network and highlight if they are working or not.
