ok guys got a fun one here   just got 13 laptops for my company all gateway NC50A with Win 7 home premium we run Server 2008 R2 in our main office with wireless access points around the building.  I have opened 3 of these laptops and so far none of them will connect to the INTERNET using wireless or wired connections. I know they wont see our network cause they are not Pro OS's these don't need to see the server or be part of the domain we have a few computers in office that just hook up for internet and they all work fine.   

they don't even try to grab an IP from our DNS or anything.   these are right out of the box new. I have already ran the restore on one just to see if that would help it did not SAY issue also downloaded the newest drivers from Gateway for both LAN and WAN cards.

I can connect to wireless at my house and when i go out somewhere but just not at work with these computers. I am stealing someones wireless right now and it works fine.  I have 50 computers in this building that are all running off the same wireless and DNS server and everything they all work great just the gateways wont connect. any help on this would be great thanks
CliffIs the DHCP service running on the 2008 box?  When you plug one of the new laptops in with a cable and load up command prompt, what's the output from the "ipconfig /all" command?SORRY I didn't reply to this sooner but the PROBLEM was I ran out of IP addresses only had a pool of 40 and just ran out trying to put so many computers on the network at one time.Well spotted!

Hello

I have just bought a Panasonic KX-MB2000 printer, and am trying to set it up so that I can use it wirelessly by connecting it to my router.

I plugged the USB end of the printer cable into my wireless router, and then went to my PC to add the printer from there, thinking that it would be detectable, but I could not find it.

The "Add New Printer" Wizard had 2 options - connect a new network printer, and connect a local printer attached to the computer.  Neither accurately describes my situation.  I do not have any sort of Network (where computers can share each others files and so on - and would not know how to start one up), I just want to be able to use the printer from one of my laptops or my phone without having it physically plugged into whichever machine I want to print from.

I tried the install network printer option, but when the wizard browses for a printer, it does not find ANYTHING.  In the "Shared Printers" box, one item appears - "Microsoft Windows Network", but when I select it nothing happens.

I then tried the local printer option, but the machine was not listed in the menu that appeared.  I could have put the disk straight into the machine and installed that way, but I thought that the PC should detect the printer before I do that, and I had no indication that it had.

I went to My Network Places and got a list of connections (no idea what most of them were, but they were all still there when I switched off the printer, so I guess none of them is the printer).

Am I missing something here, or doing something very stupid.  I would have thought that it was relatively easy to set up a printer connected to a router.  Am I overlooking something obvious?

Thanks for any help....
I believe you need to use an Ethernet connection, and you need to follow the network setup instructions on page 23 of the manual. Have you done these things?
ST is ABSOLUTELY correct. Having done this very recently with a Samsung laser printer you initially will need to connect the printer to the router via an Ethernet cable. Then follow the instructions exactly as provided in your manual. By the way due to a dynamic IP address generated by the router. A condition created when a power failure occurs or the router is turned off you may need to do the process again each time it occurs as the link will be lost. Apparently this can be overcome by a process of creating a static IP system on the computer. I cannot advise you on that as i have forgotten the process. Don't be shy to contact the printer manufacturer if you cannot create the INSTALLATION initially. My Samsung instructions were impossible to follow.
truenorthI have a similar problem. I have 3 pc all connecting independently to the internet via a LINKSYS router and connected a wired usb HP laser printer to one of the pc. I had difficulty with setup having the other pc's to print on the HP laser printer. What step can I take to remedy it. My Hp is not a networked printer just a regular usb.

please help

Actually if his router has a usb port, then he simply needed to choose "add network printer" when trying to set it up from the pc...

???I am using a one year old mid priced desk top CONNECTED to a 4 year old flat monitor I BOUGHT with a previous computer.  My wife uses a laptop which gets wireless internet from a rented ubee modem which is connected to the internet with a cable.  My desk top is hard WIRED to the modem with a cable.
     The laptop works fine receiving wireless intenet from the modem--so the modem is working but I cannot get the internet on my desk top.  It worked fine until a few days ago when it quit when I think I did NOTHING.  Can anyone suggest what the problem may be?   Thanks

Been struggling with INTERMITTENT connection for about 2 years
Finally got some solutions that helped, maybe y'all can add some too.

First I called my ISP, they did some "tests" and "fixes" which did nothing and actually
Slowed my iternet more...got that taken care off
Next they sent technician who changed the switches, cables and even modem,
Did nothing
Then they recomenddd I sign up for their elite tech support for 15$ a month (with one year contract)
WAIT what??

Giving up I googled like crazy and found these solutions.
Disabled Dns caching, start menu, run, services, then disabled dns client
Also went into my routers firewall and disabled ip flooding, "apparently this
Is necessary for gamers as when we play we connect with lotta other people at once"

That helped for a while, then again it came back!
But noticed this time it was with my iPhone...sometimes when it's conected via wifi,
I get intermittent connection...

Still searching for a solution, but for now I just keep wifi off

Can anyone recommend solutions?
Or even more solutions like disabling dns cache and ip flooding?

Being a tank, kinda important to have a reliable connection
And tbh, we pay for Internet, so we are entitled to it
Google > att tech supportGoogled and turns out this is a common iOS problem,
But didn't find any solutions yet
Do you have DSL or Cable? I had intermitten signal loss with my DSL at one time. Phone company check found no problems with their outside lines. Said it had to be somewhere inside of my home. I checked all the CONNECTIONS and filters but could not find any problems. Some how the DSL signal was being weakened. I finally fixed the problem by installing a POTS splitter and running a dedicated CAT 5 cable to my modem. A POTS splitter works by removing the DSL signal from the inside HOUSE wiring.

Hello

I have a new Win 7 PC and I have now created a homegroup - there are no 'members' in it as yet. What I now hope to do is get my Win XP PC to join the new homegroup and this is the stage I am up to now (please see attached screenshot).

The screenshot refers to creating a homegroup with other Win 7 computers, but I wish to share files with my Win XP PC. Do I need two LAN ethernet cables plugged into the same router to do this (neither PC has wireless) with both PCs switched on at the same time?

Thanks.

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Try going to Microsoft links 1 or 2Hello Jason

Thanks for that.

I thought there may have been an easier way - that document is 33 pages long!

Cheers

High1I imagine the main problem is that Windows XP doesn't have a concept of "homegroups". Since "homegroups" are a Vista/7 feature.

However, you can do it- you have to make the Windows 7 Machine also support the previous NETWORKING protocol. (Additional note to others that may read this too: This is also helpful when configuring a Linux SAMBA network share)

First you have to make sure they are part of the same Workgroup. This can be found and changed in system properties. In Windows 7, that would be accessible using Windows Key+Pause/Break, and then clicking "Advanced System Settings". On XP, Control+Pause/Break will take you to the right dialog. In both cases, you want to select the "Computer Name" tab, and confirm that both the computers are set to the same workgroup. XP I believe defaulted to MSHOME, which is sometimes part of the problem when people try to network XP and Vista/7 machines, since Vista/7 default to WORKGROUP.

Next, you need to change settings on the Windows 7 machine so it knows how to talk to the XP machines without sounding condescending. Go to the Network and Sharing Center. You can right-click the network icon in the Notification Area and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center" to do this. Once there, select to "Change Advanced Settings". Make sure everything is turned on. (You can turn off password protection if desired).

Shares on the XP computer should be visible on the Windows 7 machine and vice versa now.Hello BC Programmer

Your reply gave me some hope, but I am still having difficulties.

I posted a message earlier TODAY about me getting a 'duplicate name' error when I logged in to the XP computer, so I have changed its name from WORKGROUP to XPWORKGROUP and now that error has gone on restart. However, I am still unable to see the XP files when logged in to my Win 7 computer. The state of the XP computer now looks like this (please see the two XP screenshots).

I will need to continue this post in another message as I am only allowed four screenshots per post.

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]So, I changed the name of the XP computer to XPWORKGROUP and then logged on to the Win 7 computer and tried to change its name also to XPWORKGROUP, but a pop-up informed me that a duplicate name exists on the network, so I have had to leave it. Again, please see the Win 7 screenshots to see where I am up to at the moment.

I suppose I am a bit confused by the concepts of Computer Name and Workgroup!

Thanks for any advise.

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Do not change or make the Computer Names the same. Only the workgroups.Hello BC_Programmer

Thanks again.

OK, I will ensure that the computers are all assigned to WORKGROUP.

At the moment, one PC (wireless Win 7) is called STEVE_OWNER-PC; the wired Win 7 PC has the full computer name of don-pc; and the XP PC is called XPWORKGROUP (I don't seem to be able to change that EVEN as Administrator). All three computers have: workgroup: WORKGROUP.

Does that sound OK so far?

CheersHello BC_Programmer

I have uploaded three screenshots to give you a better idea of what I can see on each computer.

As you will gather, the My Network Connections screen in the wired XP computer is divided into Internet and Local. The Win7 wired computer can see the wireless Win 7 PC, but not the wired XP computer, while the wireless Win 7 computer can see nothing.

None of this has anything to do with creating a Homegroup, and all three computers now have:

Workgroup: WORKGROUP and are called dfifferent names. The XP computer is called XPWORKGROUP; the Win 7 wired PC is called don-PC; and the wireless Win7 PC is called STEVE_OWNER-PC.

Incidentally, the wireless Win7 PC (STEVE_OWNER-PC) is showing a BELKIN N wireless router; I am not sure where that came from as the router we all use is the Sagemcom router - that's probably besides the point: I was just hoping to get all three computers to 'see' one another first.

Thanks for your patience.

[year+ old attachment deleted by admin]Have you done this? It looks like neither of the windows 7 machines have Network Discovery turned on.

Hello

I am getting a 'Duplicate name exists on the network' WINDOWS error although I think each of the three computers I am trying to connect have different names. The wired Win 7 PC is called Don-PC, the wireless Win 7 PC is called Steve-PC, and the wired XP PC is called WORKGROUP (please see attached screenshot).

Two wired computers (XP and Win 7) are CONNECTED through a new router (which works), and the wireless Win 7 PC also connects through the same router. All three computers can access the Internet.

Thanks for any advice.

High1

[year+ old attachment deleted by ADMIN]Name can't be Workgroup if workgroup is named Workgroup.I have changed that now, Computer_Commando, so that the wired Win 7 PC is called Don-PC, the wireless Win 7 PC is called Steve_Owner-PC, and the wired XP PC is called XPWORKGROUP.

Should that be OK?

I think so.  You can name the PC's whatever you want besides "Workgroup".  I have never seen this particular problem before, so am making an educated guess.  Let us know.

Full Description:  (Any name here, even blank)
Computer Name: (Any name here, but not Workgroup)
Workgroup:  WorkgroupI solved this Commuter_Commando. The computer that gave me the 'duplicate' message was XP but it alloowed me to log on to Windows and then I changed the name. SINCE then, the error has gone.

Thanks.

I want to move my computer upstairs, I have a compaq presario sr2019uk desktop computer with a G wireless modem router. This is connected via a cable to the phone line. How do I connect to my router without any cables? any help WOULD be appreciated.
Does your PC have wireless capability?

I just sunk $460 into repairing my tower, I brought it home and attempted to connect to my houses wifi which was called linksys. When I did it asked me for the 8 digit security code on the back of the router. After I entered that information it created a new network somehow called linksys001. The tower said it was CONNECTED to the internet, but it did not WORK.

So I went to my laptop and my laptop could see both the linksys and linksys001 networks but neither one works now. How can I delete the new network I created and restore my OLD network to working condition? What linksys model and have you tried changing security encryption or resetting the router?

Found a manual in seconds on google.

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet on my laptop. It has been saying limited or no connectivity. I talked to my internet provider, and they did EVERYTHING they could do. They couldn't fix the ISSUE, they said something about a hardware or software problem. I can't renew the IP address. Since about Wednesday last week I have been following tips I found on different tech websites. I have tried some ipconfig solutions, Msinfo32, fixing Winsock corruption. I'm just following instructions I figure you all know what i'm talking about with ipconfig and that other stuff. Nothing has WORKED yet. I really don't have $65 - $80 to pay a repair store. That's why i'm trying to get advice and try and fix this sort of on my own. I have tried netsh winsock reset. It said to restart the computer for the changes to take effect and I still couldn't renew the ip address. I have seen  posts similar to my issue but they were not quite the same. That's why I went ahead and made this new post. If you need any more information, let me know. Any advice on anything I could do would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you seen this page?

What has changed since it last worked? You really need to get an Anti-Virus program if only to rule out a virus infection.

 I have tried the solutions on helpdeskgeek.com. Nothing fixed the issue. The only things that have changed is that when I run netsh winsock reset, the signal strength says good or low sometimes and says that it's connected. But then it goes back to low signal strength and limited or no connectivity. I downloaded Comodo Internet security before I lost my connection last week.  I don't even know if it  was working or not, so I tried to delete it because I was told it might be the problem. Either comodo is the problem or using my REGISTRY cleaner to much could be the problem. I don't know.

Hello everyone,a few months back i made a post about a PROBLEM i had with a wifi usb adapter,well i  bought a new adapter (pci this time) and for some time it worked just fine,but now its starting to do the same as the usb adapter,wich to my eye means the problem was not the adapter to begin with,thing is that sometimes it goes terribly slow,from downloading at almost 1mb\s to 50kb\s,i had a friend come to my place with his laptop and when he connects to the network it works perfect,i formated my hdd and installed a new os and it will still go slow whenever it wants to,i dont think my net is being stolen since i live "in the middle of freaking nowhere" and there is no one around to steal it,i dont know what to do anymore.
The "TP link wireless configuration utility" shows that i have around 30% signal strenght wich has always been more than enough,what i find strange is that the rate is always changing from 11mbps to 1mbps,shouldnt that be 54 mbps all the time?im kinda lost here.
Could this be a psu problem? the psu i have right now is a generic one and it has gave me problems in the past.
Maybe a problem with the hdd? both of my hdd´s are quite old and are starting to show the age.

here are some of my pc specs
SO:win 7 ultimate 64
pci wifi adapter:TP link TL-WN851ND
MOBO:asus p5kpl-am EPU
CPU:intel q6700
GPU:gtx 550 ti

i have the latest drivers for EVERYTHING installed.
and i dont know what else to say,thanks in advance.
Router specs?
DSL or cable?Wireless problem are seldom. if never, related to the hard drive. The drivers are loaded at BOOT time and remain in memory.

In some cases the motherboard itself generates interference to the wireless connection. Let's hope that is not your case. If so, you have to move the antenna away from the computer. And make sure all the shields are in place on your computer, including the I/O shield.

Your PSU haws to give +12 volts, +5 volts and + 3.3 volts to the motherboard. Plus another +12 on a separate connector.  I have never heard of a PCI witless failing because of a weak PSU. Now if the PSU was weak, you would think other things would fail also.

How far away is the wireless router?  Can you get it closer to the PC? at a distance of about 3 meters, or 10 feet, you should have a 100% signal and get a full 54 Mbps all the time. But with a 30% signal it can vary a lot.

Personally, I think a USB adapter on a short cable  is a better choice when you are having signal problems. Or else get an antenna on a cable so you can more it around for the best reception.

For more ideas and tips, do this:
find the search box on the upper right of this page.
Type in:
wireless troubles
And press enter. You will find at least a dozen old articles that may help.I cant tell you the router specs right now because the room with the router is in the second floor and i don't want to WAKE up anyone (its very late here)
I can tell you it is dsl.


As i said the router is in the second floor while my computer is in the first,around 8-10 meters away,i have an ovislink antenna (wich looks gorgeous) with 1.5 meters of very fat wire,the guy in the store told me that this is a very good antenna with one of the best wires,i have played positioning it around and its in the best spot i could find,i don't think the distance is a problem since it has always worked well with this setup getting 30% signal,then again i know little to nothing about wireless connections.
I'm borrowing a friends 700w psu just in case.
I just get this weird feeling that the problem lies in my pc not in the router,distance or signal.
while i was writing the first post my connection was slow,few minutes later its back at its normal speed,just to show how random this is.
I'm checking old posts,if i find something helpfull ill let you know
Don't think it's your PC.
Win7-64
WiFi adapter - 802.11n

Try changing your wireless channel.
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/wirelesstips.aspx#fbid=eQtctflLKQDPlease shoe us the antenna you have. If you are below the router, the signal will be weak and unreliable because the antenna is in the wrong position. There is no reason to think the adapter is bad. The issue is environmental factors and antenna position and interference.

Cheap entry level wireless adapters can work as good as the fancy ones. The technical specs are nearly the same. You can pay for  features that do nothing  to improve  signal quality.

Conditions vary widely and can change without any obvious visible reason. The 802.11 devices use microwaves at very LOW power and are subject to interference. Line of sight is NOT the critical issue. Microwaves do indeed penetrate some materials very well.

The best low-cost solution is to drill a hole in a wall and drag a cable and use a direct connection.
FWIW my connection also jumps around between 1.0 Mbps & 54.0 Mbps, I've become convinced it has nothing to do with the internal reception between my wireless adapter & the router.

I think my router sets the speed depending on it's connection speed to the internet via my 3G modem.

ok this is an ip question...visited a site tried to login using a username and password that was being USED by someone else...a window opend up said my ip was flagged and a google map showed my general location...also said a message was going to be sent to the admin of that site...can i get into trouble for this?Not nearly enough info provided to answer your question, "a username and password that was being used by someone else." Why were you using someones else' s P/W and username obviously without their knowledge and permission? Give some thought to coming clean to the affected party and seek their forgiveness if that falls within the realm of consequences otherwise pack as you may be taking a trip.truenorthtruenorth, its his first post.

Thee is no law about using a name and password from a new location. With Air TRAVEL today, one COULD be thousands  of miles away in a few hours and log in from a different location over the world wide web.

I think there is something wrong with a web site that says you are using another person's  account. How could they know?Geek, "Not nearly enough info provided " truenorthYes, not MUCH to go on . It could have been an innocent error.
My guess is that the user name was already in use, he wanted to use that name, did not know the name was in use and wanted to start a new account with that name. He then entered the wrong password, did not understand why the password was not allowed, try again two times and got the rude message.

My personal experience is so many sites MAKE it very hard to log in because of oblique and value language usage and rude threats. Yet some administrators believe hardship means security. They are wrong. A password stealing bot can not be stopped with threats because the bot is not human.

something about the number of peers sharing data or, too much bandwidth use. I tried updating/reinstalling the DRIVER for

 the adapter and I disabled the computer from turning the adapter off to save power with no success. I tried getting a new

Hello

I have a wireless desktop (Win 7) in one part of the house that uses a Netgear router downstairs. Also downstairs is ANOTHER PC tower (XP Pro) that uses the same router to connect to the Internet, this time by cable.

Is it possible for the wireless Win 7 desktop upstairs to connect to the cable-connected PC downstairs (and vice-versa), and how WOULD I do that, please?

Hi, I need help on configuring my TRENDnet TEW-639GR Router.
This is my first time posting on a a forum about computers so I dont really know much computer abbreviation so please explain in detail if possible, thank you
And my English is not that good. ILL try my best to explain my situation.

Ive search through google about limiting connection but I cant find the answer Im looking for. Ive read something about DHCP, MAC address or attach device but I dont know where to click on my router menu.

Firstly, on the DHCP client list it stated 2 IPaddress, does that mean there are 2 users using the same router? If yes, how do I find which one is my IPaddress?

I tried ipconfig on the cmd:
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . . : fe80::10fc:b144:6ddd:9704%11

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.1

On the router:


which one is mine?

The main question:
My brother tends to turn off the wireless whenever he played the PS3.  He use a direct cable link to the router. And it really annoys me since I cant use the internet.
So, how do limit the connection like giving the ps3 only some bits of of connection speed about 10kb - 30kb? Just to ANNOY him back so he could turn the wireless back on. He usually does that whenever he keeps DISCONNECTED from playing online.

So please help, I know it may sound a bit evil doing that but I dont WANT him to hog the connection all to himself.
Thank you. Quote

If yes, how do I find which one is my IPaddress?

Hi Folks looking for help with my networking.

I just recently had DSL installed (wasn't available previously in my area.) Then, just the other day I had my ISP return to install a router. (Kids idea, birthday present.) I have absolutely no EXPERIENCE with a router.
(The router probably knows more about me than I know about it.) So you get the idea, I need help.
I have many assumptions in this post, so please feel free to correct those that require correcting.

Here are my concerns;
a) as my laptop (wireless)  gets further and further from the router the bandwidth speed decreases, (probably normal). It gets to the point (especially when running on internal power) that at approx. 70 ft. I experience some buffering when watching on-line videos etc. When checking speeds on the connected desktop the speeds typically run around 6.5 Mbps download, 0.70 Mbps upload.. The laptop when close to the router, runs at approx. 5.0 Mbps down. When used in my bedroom approx. 70 ft. away with external power I achieve 2.50 – 3.5 Mbps. With internal power (battery fully charged) some speeds observed as low as 1.7 Mbps.

So my question is; if I was to hardwire the laptop to the router, would my speeds improve? I would like to have both(wired and wireless) if this is conceivable. I’d like to run the laptop either wired (when required) or wireless when closer to the router.
If the wired option is possible do things have to be configured or is it a simple plug- in?
Oh !. If the wired option will work , I have approx. 100ft. of cat5e cable left by my previous ISP and it wouldn't be very difficult to install. I'm assuming that the cat5e cable could act as an Ethernet cable?. If so, would it be RJ-45 connectors that I would require? I ask this because I have a Ethernet cable that connects easily to the router. On the other hand the connector that I cut off of the cat5e cable does not appear to fit into the router?.
       
b) second concern is with the printer. When the ISP tech. was installing the router I asked about connecting the laptop to the printer. His answer was if the printer is not a wireless printer then it couldn't be done. Since then I've seen info. in some of the threads here (or links provided) that most printers can be setup to run from a wireless connected PC. No ports on the printer provided for this.  So, I'm wondering?

Well there is quite a bit in your post so i hope i'll hit all the bases.Yes you can run both wireless and wired connections to the router.The distances you are mentioning re the wireless efficiency issues are appropriate (unless compensated for by additional hardware--which is possible). What you are actually experiencing is signal loss over distance.If you don't have an issue with wired that will solve it. Your Ethernet connection on your computer and the router should be the same and a cat5 cable should work for both. You can make the non wireless printer capable of becoming wireless with additional hardware and even share the printer with more than one computer if so desired. There are optional signal booster antennae available to improve the signal strength over greater distances.There are also WI-fi reception antennae with software that can be added to the usb ports of computers to increase the signal reception of computers. I have used such a device on a laptop for years when traveling and accessing public WI-fi sites with very acceptable results.

Here are my concerns;
a) as my laptop (wireless)  gets further and further from the router the bandwidth speed decreases, (probably normal). It gets to the point (especially when running on internal power) that at approx. 70 ft. I experience some buffering when watching on-line videos etc. When checking speeds on the connected desktop the speeds typically run around 6.5 Mbps download, 0.70 Mbps upload.. The laptop when close to the router, runs at approx. 5.0 Mbps down. When used in my bedroom approx. 70 ft. away with external power I achieve 2.50 – 3.5 Mbps. With internal power (battery fully charged) some speeds observed as low as 1.7 Mbps.

1.  if I was to hardwire the laptop to the router, would my speeds improve?
2.  I would like to have both(wired and wireless) if this is conceivable. I’d like to run the laptop either wired (when required) or wireless when closer to the router.
3.  If the wired option is possible do things have to be configured or is it a simple plug- in?

Your distance/speed issue could be due to WiFi connection being 802.11g instead of 802.11n .  Most new routers are b/g &n.  Many DSL combo modems/routers are b/g only, so there is nothing you can do about the WiFi speed.  802.11n has much greater range & speed.

1.  I believe so.
2.  Yes.
3.  Just plug it in.
4.  Cat5e cable is one type of ethernet cable.
5.  Yes, but you can't use the old connectors you cut off.
6.  The cat5e cable you have sounds like a telephone/DSL cable, 4 or 6 conductor instead of 8 conductor.
7.  Your printer is USB.  You would need a print server to convert the USB to ethernet

...
From your reply I now have another router question though. If I understand properly my ISP could have set-up a 802.11n
combo modem/router instead of the 802.11g. Do I understand properly?

The Cat5e cable that I have is actually a 4/pr cable. What I found interesting though was as I mentioned. The cut off end ( I do realize these are a one time only crimp) does just not fit(for some reason) into any ports in the router. It did come out of the port on my PC so that was the reason I asked whether or not I required RJ-45 connectors?...

DSL & cable have different tiers (speed plans) of service.  Depending on your tier 802.11g may be more that adequate.  In my area, we have AT&T & I can see all the modem/routers in my area from my wifi laptop.  DSL's are easy to spot because all are 2Wire & have a name like 2Wire1234 & all are 802.11g.
Your modem/router is a 'g'.  http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=39
Almost all DSL modems contain a router.  Almost, if not all, cable modems do not contain a router.  It is a separate box.
Cable is much faster than DSL, by the nature of shielded cable having more bandwidth than unshielded twisted pair (UTP).  Peel back the insulation on the ethernet cable & see the twisting of the individual pairs.  This is how the speed is determined.

Fiberoptic is a completely different beast.  It's called FIOS:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_FiOS
Light has much greater bandwidth.
See Internet speed tiers:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_U-verse
Cable is still faster:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS

Telephone uses RJ-11 connectors, ethernet uses RJ-45 connectors.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_jack
Router LAN ports are RJ-45.  Sometimes they are a very tight fit.  I've had some that were so tight, they would not release without pliers.  Any cable that is that tight, I throw away.

Just before we leave the modem/router references. In my case the DSL provider (Distributel Canada) provided a dsl modem which would require a wired connection to a computer. Since i wanted to be able to access the service from many computers (up to 7) i wanted the ability to do so simultaneously and wirelessly from various locations in the house. Thus it was my dime and necessity to purchase a router capable of transmission to the various computers. Because some computers were beyond good reception distance i then upgraded the provided antennae that came with the router to a more powerful one. My laptops had internal wi-fi capability built in but my desktops all required the purchase and installation of wireless adapters (also referred to as dongles). In the case of the laptop i took when traveling i found i could vastly improve the range and signal strength reception by adding a usb wi-fi extender antennae to the laptop. Just to give you the additional knowledge in case some of this may fit your circumstances and how they can be addressed. truenorth

PS; Not sure too, what a more powerful antennae would do to my sound system. The router as it stands sends a constant clunking noise to my speakers. Enough that I'm still attempting to find proper placement.

You haven't really described the sound system... I guess it's wireless? If so you could probably change it to use a different frequency.

Thanks BC_ for your input.
Actually the speaker system is an inexpensive older wired Altec Lansing VS2421.

That is the same sound system I have. The external volume control appears to be a weak point as far as shielding from interference goes. I thought it was the speakers in my case as well, but then when I put a CD on the volume control thing for a second I noticed that the mild static dissappeared. I haven't had it close to an operating wireless router, but the wireless transmitter on my laptop seems to also cause interference (not as bad as the cellphone though). All interference seems to cease when I "shield" the volume control thing with something. If your interference is in fact between the router and speakers, you need to shield the speakers in some fashion. usually a metal component of some sort between the two would work too. If you get a better antenna it will likely be more mobile, so you could move it farther away.

Which ROUTER is better TP Link WR841N or DLink DIR 600? i was KINDA confused. please help me with this! thank you!!! and were these two routers are easy set up? Thanks again!  Depends on your needs. Really, either should work fine. Both manufacturer's make DECENT equipment.actually i'll be using which ever to this router for 2laptops and 2 iphones and an ipad.. which is more better?

For WiFi, stay away from D-Link, unless you change firmware to DD-WRT.

What's wrong with D-Link? I have a wifi router/ADSL modem, USB wifi adapter, and a PCI wifi card all made by D-Link. No issues with any of them.

I have no idea what it does even after spending hours reading what Dns is.

Paranoid again that the governments watching me again

I spent last 3 hours resetting over and over
And I still have the same ip!!!

How can i force change
Went to conection options and even changed my Mac address

Still same ip.

I have xp btw

You are being watched.  Changing IP won't help.Mate, you've got to do something about this paranoia.

If you have a static IP, which it sounds like you do, you need to talk to your ISP about changing your IP address. Changing your IP address won't help you remain any more anonymous to the government though.

Seriously though, I doubt the government is really watching you unless you're doing something suspicious or illegal. If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. The government couldn't care less about what you read or did online last night.

If you are doing something suspicious or illegal, the best way to avoid the government is to stop doing it.

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but if you're really this paranoid, you should seriously consider getting help. Seek out a psychologist that can help you learn to control this unhealthy paranoia. You'll feel a lot better.i need to know because i am bipolar and i get suicidal alot - i take meds and do everythign i am supposed to do

I have recently had massive volumes of data downloaded without me being on-line. I know that one does not have to be at one's machine for downloads to happen, but my problem seems different. I have been unable to find any users stealing bandwidth (though that POSSIBILITY still exists). Have run several virus/trojan/etc programs and no threats found. BUT what I have found is that if I open internet sites separately, my router does its usual handshaking for a few seconds. Quite normal. However, if I USE TABBED browsing to get to the homepages of the same sites, the W/LAN light goes on flashing and simply will not stop until I have closed down all but one of the sites. I have done this about a dozen times and I get the same result. Could tabbed browsing be responsible in some way?Tabbed browsing is a feature that enables you to open multiple websites in a single browser window. If multiple websites are loading, regardless of "homepages of the same sites", they will still eat large bandwidth usage that might cause your W/LAN light goes on flashing.Thanks again gh. What I didn't make clear in my first post was that the flashing goes on "for ever" - even when all the 4 sites that I have tabbed have finished opening their homepages. When I say "for ever" I mean hours and hours. It only stops when I have closed all but one of the sites' homepages.
Last week, while I was discovering this problem, my bandwidth USED in one 24 hour session was just short of 1 GB. And I was not even using my computer! It stopped when I closed the 4 sites, but the whole thing starts over when I go back into the sites via tabbed browsing. I've looked at the task manager, and there are no "strange" users.
I must admit that now I know how to stop it happening it becomes more of a curiosity than a danger, as I am uncapped, but it still worries me. Can you post the URL of the website you are having trouble? Quote from: Phil-Logan on May 18, 2012, 08:14:16 AM

Hello everybody!!!!

I want to know some information about nokia driver..

what is the    WINDOWS DRIVER PACKAGE-NOKIA (WUDFRd) WPD 3-19-2007 6.83.31.1


                      & windows  driver package-nokia modem  2-15-2007 3.1


The problem is I want to format my c: DRIVE.but if I format,will there be any problem with my internet broadband modem connection?

So in final I want to know whether it is a nokia mobile phone modem driver or my nokia siemens broadband modem driver?I am an advocate of NOT formatting your drive.
If it is not broke, do not try to fix it.
If it is broke, replace it.
If you have the expertise to repair a broken hard drive, you would not have come here.
There is a persistent urban myth that doing a format nof your hard drive will fix anything. Not so!

Here is the right procedure Get another hard drive. MAKE it master or first to boot, Install the OS on it. Then check the integrity of the old drive. the command is:
chkdsk X: /r
...where X is the drive letter.
If the drive is repairable, chkdsk does the job. Beyond that you need a utility from the maker of the drive.

As for drivers, if you are UNSURE about how to recover the drivers, do NOT format your hard drive. Windows can search the old drive and find the drivers if you give it a little help.

Can you get another drive? The is the BEST WAY to handle your problem.
how can i give little help to make my windows xp to search for the old drivers??

thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey,

Also if I donwload a driver for this how do I get the card to see the driver if I can't see the adapter itself? Confused.

" you dont have permission to PERFORM this operation " . I get this message when i TRY to MAKE a GROUP policy object editor through MMC for remote computer.

The decision to put a 32-bit address space on there was the result of a year's battle among a bunch of engineers who couldn't make up their minds about 32, 128, or variable-length. And after a year of fighting, I said—I'm now at ARPA, I'm running the program, I'm paying for this stuff, I'm using American tax dollars, and I wanted some progress because we didn't know if this was going to work. So I said: OK, it's 32-bits. That's enough for an experiment; it's 4.3 billion terminations.

The 32 bits are still used on a LAN.

Octet (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An octet is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that consists of eight bits. The term is often used when the term byte might be ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet   Octet_(computing)

An IPv6 address is REPRESENTED as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits (two octets). The groups are separated by colons [:]. An example of an IPv6 address is:
    2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
The hexadecimal digits are case-insensitive when used, but should be represented in lower case.
The full representation of eight 4-digit groups may be simplified by several techniques, eliminating parts of the representation.
Leading zeroes
Leading zeroes in a group may be omitted, but each group must contain at least one hexadecimal digit. Thus, the example address may be written as:
    2001:db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334

configuring routers with OSPF

In the context of your question, your simply assigning a real IP address to a loopback interface.  Hence 127.0.0.1 is the address of the device and 10.1.27.252 is also the address of the device.  Loopback can be used as a non-physical interface - i.e. it is not used with a network or network port.  It's a logical interface only.

 not quite. That is the UD5-A board. slightly newer, but network stuff is probably the same

I've been using my Panasonic Let's Note series laptop for about a year at my home with a wireless router.  Just recently, the wireless connection stopped working.  Now, it will only work when hard-wired.

When attempting to CONNECT with the wireless system, the following will appear on the screen: "A potential problem with the 802.1x supplicant was DETECTED. The current connection has been BROKEN.  Reboot or log off.  If current problem persists, contact your administrator."

I have not been able to troubleshoot the problem in any way or figure out how to fix it. If anyone out there has any suggestions, your assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
Please consider downloading and upgrading/reinstalling the LATEST drivers for your wireless network card, from the manufacturer's web site.

hey,

I finally GOT my PC going, and when i connected to my home wi-fi network, it connected normally but when I open the browser, and search something on google it brings me the results, but when I open anything else, it starts by connecting and stays like that and doesent load at all though it SAYS that it is conneted, what do you think is the problem?

Thanks in advanceIs it just the laptop, or are other computers doing the same thing.

Could try:
 1. Clear Browser Cache / Temporary Internet Files
 2. Try to clear the DNS Cache (Command Prompt > "ipconfig /flushdns"
 3. Ensure the destination webserver RESOLVES (Command Prompt > "nslookup www.yahoo.com")
 4. Ensure you can ping the webserver (Command Prompt > "ping www.yahoo.com"  < This may not always work)
 5. Ensure you can Route to the destination (Command Prompt > "tracert www.yahoo.com" < COMPARE path to Google)

If you can ping it, and you can trace all the way there, then I'd ask if which web browser you're using or if you have a firewall/Internet Security Suite.

Now if you are using Linux, it should be obvious you have to start a CONSOLE session.

Or do you mean the broadcom card is a network card.?
Which broadcom?
Does this apply?

Please give more information for better answers.

WinPCap puts most NICs into promiscuous mode automatically.  BEAR in mind that the NIC can only see traffic that is on the same network leg.  If you're CONNECTED by cable to a network switch, you will not see all traffic going through that switch unless the switch has the capability of setting a port to "mirror" mode, whereby all traffic on the switch is copied to that port, whether it's intended for the device on the other end or not.

This is the big difference between hubs and switches of course.  Hubs copy all traffic to all ports indiscriminately.  Switches try to route traffic intelligently by keeping track of IPs and MAC addresses in a dynamic ARP cache.

guys i just bought a new modem i.e dlink dsl 2750u(wireless router)..My connection is bridge type so i have to type in the username and password for every TIME i want to use the internet,i have config it to my comp by wired(rj45) it gets connected to the internet.Now when i tried to connect it through my cell n laptop i can connect vth full range but the thing is it doesnt get connected to the internet no connection establish error .I have checkd through the 192.168.1.1(on my browser) wireless enables n status is also working ....so whats the problem HELP !!! Does the dlink router WLAN indicator light blink green? The router also has an on/off wireless button. The connecting devices must also match the security encryption (WPA/WPA2PSK)of your router. You can also temporarily disable wifi security to CHECK if the connecting devices are able to connect.   What error messages do you see when you try to connect?yeah its green,cell gets connected but then the website doesnt open ,it keeps loading n then error
got the prob .....wifi WONT work for a bridge type NETWORK ...it works only for pppoe ....if any1 has same prob then plz change ur bridge mode to ppoe mode Thanks for posting back the solution Sachinn300.
The documentation is always best to look into.

I've posted my problem at another forum but help stopped coming. I'll just copy the posts here & hopefully someone here can help?

ME:
I've just switched to a new ISP but my pc hasn't been able to connect to the internet since the switch. My housemates' computers still connect without any trouble. The router is connected to all the computers with cables, my PC detects the line & can log into my ISP's server, but if I try to connect to any website it says "server not found". My housemates have Ubuntu & Windows 7, while I have Windows XP Home v2002, Sevice Pack 3, on a Pentium Dual-Core, E5200 2.50GHz PC.

OTHER:
Are any other internet services working. For example, if you are using a mail client such as Outlook Express which is standard with XP are you getting your mail? Normally if all computers are connecting though the same router and none are using a wireless connection the issue is iolated to the one XP computer which may have a bad networking card or it could be as simple as the settings in windows have failed to recognize the new ISP and NEED to be CHECKED. I don't know what you mean by logging into the ISP's server??? Do you mean that it is showing as connected in the taskbar?

ME:
No other services (utorrent, dropbox, etc) I've tried works either. A popup in the taskbar notifies me that the line is detected & fine. What I meant by my ISP's server is they GAVE me an address (10.0.0.2) to connect to to set up the account etc. I can do that successfully, but nothing else internet related works. If I try to open a website in Google Chrome they suggest that my DNS settings or network configuration might be messed up?

OTHER:
With your machine connected to the router please do the following ....

 Start ....type in ....cmd ......ENTER [ this is for XP ]
 At the command prompt type .....ipconfig /all .............space after ipconfig .............hit ENTER

OTHER:
Try switching the router off - leave for 30 seconds - switch on again.
 Try connecting again.
 Check the ipconfig / all again.
 Is the Lease Obtained and Expires date and time still exactly the same ?

ME:
Everything is still exactly the same except the Lease Obtained/Expired now says:
 Lease Obtained........16 April 2012 16:26:51
 Lease Expires...........16 April 2012 17:26:51
 Any ideas?
Have you contacted your ISP?You seem to have no DNS servers configured!

Thank you for the information. What it boils down to is that, if you buy from a vendor, you may or may not be able to use it with your Internet provider? Am I right here?

hi  people! here's my problem.
I had working an small wireless and wired local net using a Lynksys WRT 300N router and a speed touch ADSL modem to internet. with 7 or 8 computers.
Now I've moved and my ISP installed a new modem router ZXL DSL 831C11 with four wired 10/100Base-T Ethernet interfaces, when i connect directly, wired it works fine but when i try to install my wireless router it do'snt work.
I've tried to install it as before (fixed IP), configured it with the new IP, subnet mask and gateway addresses as instructed in the users manual but dont work, all the computers get the radio signal with a good level but dont get access to internet...

The only way to MAKE it work somehow is connecting the modem to the router's ethernet port instead of the internet (blue) port, but in that case the other three wired ports of the modem and wireless router wont work, so only works the wireless part.
I've tried configuring the wireless router as automatic configuration DHCP using the internet (blue) port, but didnt work either.

any ideas?
THANKS in advanceWelcome to CH

What address space is used by:
ZXL DSL 831C11

What are typical IPs it gives to lyour PCs

What address space is used by:
Lynksys WRT 300N router
What IPs does it give to hyour PCs

How many computers work OK on just on the ZXL DSL 831C11 ?

How many wired ports do yhou need?

In general, you do NOT use the WAN (Internet) port on a second router.

When using two neuters TOGETHER, or modem and router, the second device does not do DHCP. Only the first device, modem, the device close to the external network. Some few exceptions.

Modem/router and the other router must not have the same IP in the local network.  You set the second router to have a higher address if the modem is using the lower address of the subset. But not a problem if the modem has a high address.

Example:
Modem has 192.168.1.1 so set the other router to 192.168.1.20 or whatever works. Don't forget the address. You need it later.Thanks for your answer.

When the modem ZXL is alone it can work with 4  PCs OK. It works as gateway 192.168.1.1 and gives 192.168.1.2/..4 I only need 3 wired PCs
the rest were  wireless connected to the lynksys.
I will try to do as you suggested.
Keep you posted.

And Thanks againOK success, used your tip and worked!
thanks Geek again!!Glad it worked!

Hi, im new here.

Recently my internet on my laptop has been very slow.. WATCHING videos, surfing, everything.
Though its only my computer that is slow, the other 3 computers we have are running smoothly.
I first tried to delete cookies etc, that didnt help.

Now i have no idea what to do...

This has been on for like 2 weeks now, and as i said, only mine is running slow

The computer is new, ive had it for 2-3 months.

Here is some info about the computer:

okay thanks man, thats what i though aswell,...

but it worked perfect first 2 months? what can cause this ..

This popup box keeps  . . popping up!  It asks me to enter network password.  I kill it but it keeps coming back at random.  My cable provider says I need to contact the wireless router manufacturer (Netgear).  This problem occurred last year and then it stopped of it own accord.  How can I keep the box from appearing?  Thx, Micromos  Two details.
Which Netgear router?
Which wireless adepter and which driver version?
Is the wireless handled by Windows or by the utility from the wireless adapter manufacturer?
Protocols for wireless security have been revised and updated. You have to establish permission to use the wireless router,. This is in addition to the actual wireless password, in some cases.
Like your IP says, these CHANGES are from the hardware makers, not the ISPs.
This may help provide some background:

The bad guys are drooling over all the delicious info they can suck from your ever-growing wireless network. Where once there were only computers and servers to steal information from now there are dual-mode cell phones (that often seek the nearest WiFi connections without your approval or knowledge); Blu-ray players and gaming consoles that connect to the Internet; tables; laptops ... virtually everything you do, everything you know, everything that defines the essence of you is contained NEATLY on your network. Not just tasty tidbits of info for a bad guy to snack on, but a full-on, table-covered feast!

This popup box keeps  . . popping up!

The Netgear is a N-150 WNR1000. I don't know how to answer the next two questions.  I just plug the cable provider cable into the router and then to my windows 7 laptop.  Sorry about not knowing. Isn't permission granted to use the router when I bought it?

I called Netgear support and they want $39 to help.  Can't I just uninstall and reinstall with the Netgear disc?

havin MAJOR headaches with this one, tried most of the drivers on the installation cd getting nowhere, seems to install but then no internet when i diagnose comes back with drivers may not be installed correctlyWhat is this DEVICE?Is this it?: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WN951N.  You MIGHT try DOWNLOADING a driver from the website.

Hi, I just purchased a used CISCO Linksys wireless router model wrt160n v3.  It did not come with set up cd.  I have tried to set up the wireless router and I can only get as far as my laptop and Kindle Fire recognizing signal coming from router but no internet connection.  I have tried RESETTING everything but still not working.  My laptop is a 3 year old ACER Aspire 5532.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.this may help: http://www.wikihow.com/Configure-a-Linksys-WRT160N-RouterThe normal procedure is something like:

Factory reset
Cabled connection - assign static IP ADDRESS to PC if necessary from the router's default subnet
Configure wifi settings and internet access on router
Reboot router
Reconfigure PC if changed in second step
Connect to router wirelessly
