I have read an INTERVIEW question:

Can a workstation computer be configured to browse the Internet and yet NOT have a default gateway?

I think peer-peer networks does not require gateway. Am I right?

Plz provide me the answer. Quote from: bspkumar on August 01, 2009, 10:10:16 AM

thanks mattWhat Website? What browser?http://online.bilborough.ac.uk/Website/OnlineServices/register.aspx?page=Default.aspx is the website im trying to access

and Internet Explorer 8 Quote

and Internet Explorer 8

I have Windows XP.

I have Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 with Outlook included  (I do not have th installation software.  I got it from my company).  I have never used the outlook but now I need to set it up for use with my Palm Treo Pro phone. 
I cannot open Outlook.  When I attempt to open, it says "Microsoft Exchange Unavailable".  How can I get past this to try to configure outook? 
Also, any tips on setting it up after that would be appreciated. Hopefully it's straightforward once I am able to connect.

Thanks!
Danielleoh and I have a wireless modem and all other connections to the internet work well.  So is this software that you currently own?

I don't know a lot about this, but I think Outlook is "looking" for the Exchange server which probably handles the e-mail at your company.  It can't find the Exchange server because you're not connected to it.  I'll have to see if I can find out more about this.The OP said that this software came from her employer and doesn't have access to the disk.

Let's determine if this is legally obtained first.yes my school has a disk can was purchased for all TEACHER use on home and school computers, so it's legalI take it this is happening on the computer itself, and not the Treo, correct?

I'm almost sure it's a profile problem, but not yet sure of how to correct it.  I found some information from Microsoft HERE, but I'm not comfortable recommending it -- it involves modifying the computer's registry, which we'd rather avoid.First it says:  "the connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."

I've done some playing around and if I don't try o open it but click on properties, I can get to where it seems to be configured properly, and then at some point, I also got this message:  "Cannot open extend.dat file"

Any ideas on how to fix this?

You guys are AWESOME and have solved my problems before but if this doesn't work, and I have to get some paid remote support, who do you recommend? QUOTE

"the connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."

so NEED something that can process and stream live IMAGES and sound to a relatively high standard.
what do you suggest i look for in a laptop...
big hard drive, good RAM, specific wireless connectivity??
WHATEVER the answer, can you give it to me in plain english please?  im not too good on the jargon... 
thankyou!make sure you have a TV tuner.  It will allow you to watch all live tv when connected to your cable or what ever.  If the laptop doesnt COME with one you can buy a usb one.  Other then that, all you need is a cheap basic laptop if thats all your doing with it

I use a Wireless NETWORK with WPA security (Wi-Fi Protected Access). When the I look in the notification area I NOTICE that the network connection has a red X through it. What can I do?The red X means you are not connected 

Double click it and connect to your network. (assuming you have a wireless network)Or you could try something like right click on it and click connect to a network.Thank you very much your answers to my network QUESTION has help me out heps

In a network book I have there is an example of subnetting a class C IPv4 address.

They take a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and borrow 2 bits from the host PORTION of the subnet mask, like this: 

11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000


There are two usable sub-networks that are derived from this and the book also gives the number of usable host addresses, which are given here:

192.168.4.64/26     (192.168.4.65 - 192.168.4.126)

and

192.168.4.128/26     (192.168.4.129 - 192.168.4.191)

The book illustrated the example by showing a diagram of four computers attached to a switch, all having a subnet mask of:  255.255.192.0   (see attachment)



I'm confused.  Given that the original subnet mask is class C, shouldn't the new subnet mask be 255.255.255.192    What am I missing here?  I'm thinking that the subnet mask given to the four computers is a typo. 

Also, the diagram is totally confusing because the two subnets addresses are not labeled anywhere...  It looks like fours computer with random IP addresses..

i have a 512kbps broadband INTERNET connection.i always have a download speed of 50-60kb/s.can anyone brief me regarding internet connections and speed,how much download speed should i get in certain speed that isp OFFER? And, is there anyway to make my download speed much more higher may up to 100kb/s?? 512kbps is 512 kilobits per second, whereas 50/60 kb is kilobytes a second; a byte is 8 bits, so 512/8=64kb/s should be your maximum speed- which is pretty CLOSE to what you have.

ok,thanks for the reply.at least now i know Im getting the speed that i pay for. you can GO to www.speedtest.net and test your upload and download SPEEDS to see if you're really getting what you are paying for

Our family has a router wherein 3 laptops are connected thru LAN. Our DSL speed is 2 MB. It was very fast especially web browsing on the internet. However, for the past 10 days, we have noticed that whenever I downloaded files (movies, applications, ETC) from utorrent, the web browsing on the internet of the 2 laptops BECOME very slow, or have interrupted internet connection or have offline trackers (and vice versa, meaning if they are downloading, my browsing also become very slow). Please help me find solution for this problem. Thanks a lot
That's what P2P clients do to your connection 

Just make sure you're not seeding excessively or downloading with all your bandwidth.To TechGeek:

Thanks for your advice, however, what should I actually do to make sure I am not seeding excessively or downloading with all my bandwidth?  I am neophyte on this thing so please explain further what I should do.  Thanks again.You can go to the options and set a maximum upload speed and a maximum download speed. Make sure you turn off utorrent when you're not using it and make sure you're not uploading a file all the time. Quote

whenever I downloaded files (movies, applications, etc) from utorrent

This would be called ILLEGAL!

I have a belkin router when I use windows media center from my COMPUTER to watch movies it doesn't allow me to get on the internet from that system or the laptop or another hardwired system. EVERY once and a while it will connect but after a while I still can't get on. If I turn off the 360 everything will connect fine WITHOUT reseting anything any help would be good at this point.Sounds like an IP conflict. Read Resolving an IP conflict and get all your computer's to automatically aquire an IP and make sure DHCP is enabled on your router.they are both good all the systems were ALREADY set and the dhcp was enabled Quote

If I turn off the 360

360 what? Norton?

My laptop uses Windows XP.  It has Intel Proset 2200BG for detecting wireless networks.  I ran an ipconfig command on it and here is the info I got:

Can anyone tells me what all this means, and maybe some steps I can take to fix it?

Thank YOUCAN you be a little more specific about what is happening please.Hello
Simply put, I cannot ACCESS the internet with this laptop.  The new router I have is a dual band, broadcasting in both 2.4 and 5 ghz frequencies.

I figured out that these ROUTERS have two different connection names:  one for the 2.4 ghz and one for the 5 ghz.  The 2.4 ghz one is WPA protected.  When I got to try and logon to this one, it asks me for my password, which is an all alpha password.  however, the computer wont accept anything but numbers.

As for the 5 ghz frequency,  my computer will say "Connected to the internet", and then after a few seconds it will say, this connection has a problem.  The it says,  "Aquiring Network Address", but it never finds it.

Let me know if you need any other details.

Thank you so much. Yes, it seems to be working for me too.
I also just noticed something and was WONDERING, is that whois site possibly listing some wrong information for people? The only reason I'm wondering is on the Sploofus site, it lists a different email than the whois site lists for them
"
Please contact the Sploofus business team ([email protected]) if you own a high-traffic website and would like to TRADE links."

I was also wondering, are Ip addresses suppose to be another method of getting to websites? yes, ip address is another way to locate websites, though we're normally not typing ip addresses but the actual domain name.  Every website you go to (like google.com, yahoo.com, etc., they all have an ip address of the server hosting the site and the domain name is much easier to remember than a LOT of numbers don't you think?)

the email address associated with the person or party who has officially registered a domain name does not have to be the same as the OFFICIAL one they list on the actual website  Actually, the IP address is the way things are addressed and located.  The URL's are for our convenience, since it is easier to remember "google.com" and so forth.  DNS (Domain Name Servers) provide the "TRANSLATION" between IP address and URL.

hi, i have been having problems wit my laptop, for some reason i cannot connect wirelessly but i can wit a ETHERNET cable, i need any ones help on this ISSUE. o and i cant OPEN wireless assisstant.
laptop-presario f572us, vista. my internet switch on the side is amber when its supposed to be blue meaning i am connected.
blue-connected
amber-not.
pls HELPidk if its my adapter or not, so ask me if u need more infoGo to device MANAGER and see if there any problems with your wirelees card. Try reinstalling the driver and reboot....Start by deleting the existing network device in device manager.i tried that already, it didnt workCan you go into network and sharing then manage network CONNECTIONS right click on wireless and enable it.
Or do the same but when you right click go to properties and see what it says about the driver there.It the Networking and Sharing center does it say limited connectivity?

Hi there,
I am looking for a wireless router for an apartment I am GOING to be moving into.  In apartments I have heard since they are densly populated with people with wireless internet it may be best to have a dual band router.  Others say all I really need is a g router  I am new to all of this so I am not really sure.  I would need a router that is strong enough to support 2 laptops and Xbox live without dropping the signal.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I would go for g there is alot of preferance about what is best, linksys I would recommend. Right now im running 2 towers a laptop and streaming media to my 360 through my desktop and it all runs fine. Duel band would be good, I would go to EITHER tigerdirect or newegg and just read there reviews they are very helpful.Check out Trendnet routers too, Trendnet is a good brand as well 

http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/category.asp?iType=25
If you can find one that isn't expensive, you may as well get a router which supports the UPCOMING N standard as well as the current G standard.I would recommend a Linksys Wireless N. Then put DD-WRT firmware on it and you have a great router which didn't cost you much.Why change the firmware on a new router? Quote from: Aegis on July 30, 2009, 05:28:48 PM

Why change the firmware on a new router?

DD-WRT is commercial grade firmware which gives great functionality    Like increasing teh transmit power and getting more SSIDs from 1 router.

if it works, then don't bloody fix it.

I recently installed a NetGear NAS on my home network. The installation went well. I started my LAPTOP and set up the NAS through the controll panel for the NAS and also set a shortcut to the MEDIA folder on the NAS on my desktop to drag and drop files for storage. The folder was accessed by opening My Network Places, then scrolling down to The Internet heading WITHIN My Network Places and the Drive was shown here.

I did this on my laptop (Windows XP Home SP2) and on my sons laptop (Windows Vista), but when I attempt to do this on my daughters laptop (Windows XP HOME SP2) The Internet is not shown within My Network Places and I cannot figure out how to GET this to show up so I can access the NAS FOLDERS. Am I clear in my description of the problem and can anyone help? Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm a little confused about the difference between baseband and broadband...

I realize that with baseband transmission only one frequency is USED, where in broadband multiple frequencies are used...

But say your ISP is using 1000BaseLX cable as the backbone CABLING to get service to your house...     The word "Base" in the name 1000BaseLX implies that baseband is used doesn't it?  So how would your ISP get broadband (simultaneous multiple signals) to your house if they are using a baseband type of cable

I know I'm missing something here..     Can 1000BaseLX cable be used as broadband cable as well as baseband Good questions.  You might want to read &GT;this Wikipedia article<, which describes how mordern telcos multiplex internet connections over their fibre networks (which partially answers your QUESTION).  You'll also need to read up on DSLAMs to get the complete picture.  As for 1000BaseLX - never heard of it by the way - in the UK, at least, regular copper or aluminium cabling takes the signals from the exchange to the customer's premises and the DSL signal is "fiddled with" by a "splitter card" at a distribution BOX along the way to the customer's premises.  I've been reading up on this a bit having had major ADSL problems over the last month, but I must confess my picture is no means complete, and very UK-centric.aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The disembodied head is back.......................RUN FOR IT!!!     



anyway, thanks RobPleasure.

I try to access a folder on the server that I could previously access, I get a MESSAGE "The link you are trying to access is unavailable or MISSING, try checking your spelling and try again”. what can I do? I did what it ask but still NO luck.Exactly what are you trying to do? Create a SHORTCUT to a sharing folder?

Is the server online and running?

Are you connected to the same network?Also, is the server behind a firewall and do you need to establish a VPN?
Are there any spaces in the PATH name?
I've gotten messages like this when the problem was actually access authority. 
Can you check with the "share" owner to make sure you have been granted access authority?The CLUE here perhaps is "I could previously access".  What has changed?  Try logging off and on again, and note any error messages displayed. Quote from: Rave13 on May 17, 2009, 04:40:23 PM

Thank you for your reply I give what you have said a try and get back to you's

hi....
 i have a computer and a connect broadband connection.... INTERNET is running on this computer, but now i want to access internet on 1 more computer by doing NETWORKING, plz suggest me how i can do it..? what software and hard ware i neeed?

* i also installed two lan cards in major compter(on which net is already running) but when i insert other networking cable it says that cable is unplugged

plz sugest me how i can access net on both COMPUTERS...Did you install two network cards in one computer, so you could run the cable to the second computer?

Oh, if only it worked that way!

Do you have a cable modem or DSL modem?  Is there an ethernet cable that runs from the modem to the first computer?  You'll need a router or switch which will allow both computers to "share" the internet access.  You'll have the cable from the modem plug into the "Internet" port on the router or switch.  Then a cable will plug into each ethernet port on the computers, to the computer ports on the router/switch.  It's the router which decides which computer gets which packets (information) to and from the Internet.

Something like this:


Tell us more about your setup!

i am sending u a pic of my network configuration , which will help u to softout my problem,

my both computers a re connectd to each other A has 2 NIC , one fro modem and other for B computer, when modem is off, both computers is having networking, but when i switch on my modem both computers stops even file sharing...

comp A is accessing internet properly, and i also installed Proxi server on first computer too...

i think i am having problem in IP addresses of both computers, so plz soft out my proble, THANX in advanced...

[attachment deleted by admin]Enter the command "ipconfig /all" in a command prompt on both computers.  Cut and paste the results here.here is the result of ipconfi /all on both computers....

Sorry I've been a bit pressed for time lately - is this still an issue?

so now its fine but i got one problem i cant connect to the internet i have cable internet n my modem is fine it works but i dont kno how to make it work.
so i called internet provider suport line to see if they COULD help me

and press Enter.

3. Notepad will open.

4. Copy all text in Notepad ([Ctrl-A], then [Ctrl-C]), and then post it (paste = [Ctrl-V]) in your next reply.
i have XP not vistaPlease, re-read.

Anyway I thought that just plugging in to my phone line would on the 5100 would get me the same as the 2350

If you have DSL you don't just hook the laptop up to the phone line. You plug it into a DSL modem or router.
Do you have a DSL modem? You usually get it from your internet service provider and it is connected to a phone line.
What version of Windows is on the new laptop?

I live in a 2 story colonial in Newark NJ with a full basement and a 1/2 ATTIC. Currently, my computer, a P4 2.2G running Windows XP Home, is located in the attic and connected to the INTERNET via Cablevision cable. I will soon have a Core I7 computer running Windows Vista Home Premium, which I will set in the attic. I will also purchase a 4 port wired/wireless router which will be connected to my cable modem in the attic. The XP computer will be moved to the basement and connected to the internet wirelessly. Considering the distance from the attic to the basement, 3 STORIES down, what recommendations do you have for a router that can give me a consistant and strong signal from the attic to the basement. I would prefer a "N" router over a "G" router, in consideration future development.

Hi,

I have two laptops (Windows XP home edition) conneted to a wireless router.
One IP is 192.168.0.100, the other IP is 192.168.0.102.

Both can pin 192.168.0.1 , the router. Both can access internet.
Also both can PING another DESTOP PC 192.168.0.103.

But two LAPTOP can't ping each other. Is anyway to trouble shoot this?
I have rebooted both laptops many times. They just can't ping each other.
When I log into the router (192.168.0.1) , they both are shown connected
to the router. It just doesn't make any sense.

I really appreciated if anyone can HELP me on this.

Sincerely,

Jay



Firewalls often block incoming pings. So my guess would be that there's a firewall enabled on both laptops.
If you haven't installed any firewall or internet security type software, then the Windows firewall is probably enabled.
You can check the status of the windows firewall by going to the Control Panel and selecting Security Center. The Firewall will either be OFF or ON.

Can I ask why the laptops needs to be able to ping each other?
are you WANTING to play games or share files between the computers across the network?

hi guys
I have a problem with my laptop and wireless router. I can not find the wireless network in my laptop, no matter what I do, but when I use cable is it find, help here thx.
here is my laptop and info of it
Asus M51S with intel wifi link 4965AGN(802.11abgn) with Vista ULTIMATE
Router is D-link DI-524 2.4Ghz(that is all I know)
need reply ASAP, thx Is the wifi card on your laptop activated? There is usually a button somewhere that lights up when it is on. If you are positive that is on, the drivers for the card might not be installed. So you will have to go to the MANUFACTURERS site and find the exact model and DOWNLOAD them.Yes, Everything is on, the switch is on, the LIGHT is on, and the version is the lastest for the wifi card (12.4.0.21) for 4965AGN.Is the router broadcasting its SSID or have you switched that off? Are you using MAC access protection? What security are you using? (WEP, WPA, WPA2)

You might need to CHECK your router manual for answers.Do you know how to access your router's control/admin panel via your web browser?

Okay, let's work from your machine outwards. Does it make a difference if you connect to your router using a cable rather than wirelessly?

Can you ping your router? (At a command prompt, what results do you get from the command "ping 192.168.1.1"?) How about pinging your DNS servers ("ping 68.105.28.12")? And pinging that web server ("ping www.cybertechhelp.com")?One problem. My router is in my parents room which is locked. They are out of town for the next month.

hai

pls advice: Have 29th and 30th floor. On 29th floor is the all the servers and routers access Internet. Have 1 wifi ROUTER placed here.

On 30th floor, have 10 laptops. have 2 access point placed on ceiling. distance between those laptops could be around 10 feet. Signals received not consistent. sometime can connect but cannot access internet.
any suggestions on how well i could improve the situations?
pls assist , thank you
.d
First of all, could you please refrain from using SLANG as it is not as easy for US all to UNDERSTAND, and are all of the laptops the same or different? Different laptops and models have different hardware and some might have better signals because of that.

My internet disconnects after I've turned on the computer for x amount of time, usually less than an hour, however, there is no INDICATION that it has actually DISCONNECTED other than nothing loading when I try to surf the internet eg. no 'X' on the wireless icon in the bottom RIGHT. This problem is always fixed when I reboot my computer, but then the cycle repeats.

Help would be appreciated thanks.It could be the results of a corrupt or out of date driver. Could you GIVE us some specifications of your computer, including manufacturer, and how you are connected to the internet(WIRED or wireless)?

I have a Hp Pavilion 7915 desktop computer. And I don't know how to FIND out what kind of wireless CARDS are used for my computer. I have a Netgear wnr834b wireless N ROUTER, and I'm not exactly SURE on what type of chip to use.something like the FOLLOWING should work for you fine:

Hi,just today i noticed that my internet connection is connected but it says firewalled beside it. Should i be worried? If so can you tell me how to fix it? ThanksCan you still access the internet?

What firewall are you RUNNING?

Normally a firewall is a good THING, we like to know that PEOPLE are USING them. Did you not install it?Yes i can ACCES the internet but some sites are not working. Im using windows firewall.

Go into the command prompt.
Then type "ipconfig /flushdns", don't include the quotation marks though.
Then reboot the computer.
Let US know if this helps.I did that, I thought it was going to work, but then it said it could not connect to the preferred wireless network.
Yet again.

I'm really STARTING to hate computers. Haha.If you are using WPA did you input the key into the laptop?Our network doesn't have a key.
At least none that I know of, I've never needed one before.

And it's a desktop with wireless, not a laptop.
If that makes any difference whatsoever, I don't know. Quote from: blissld on JULY 01, 2009, 11:44:56 AM

And it's a desktop with wireless, not a laptop.

Ok, I've just changed an old decrepit router out for a new one which includes wireless as they need wireless at this location as well as wired CONNECTIONS. I seem to have a problem getting folder/printer sharing to work properly, and it could be a number of THINGS... I just can't seem to work this out...

Ok, here's the setup as it is now:
New Router:
D-Link DIR-300 Wireless G router (4-port router w\ wireless)

Wired:
Port 1: Windows XP, hosting Canon iP3300 USB printer, and a shared storage folder, Comodo Internet Security
Port 2: Windows XP, Avast!, Windows Firewall
Port 3: Windows XP, Avira, Windows Firewall
Port 4: Windows XP, Kaspersky Internet Security

Wireless:
Wireless 1: Windows Vista LAPTOP (see my specs for specifics), Kaspersky Internet Security
Wireless 2: Windows XP laptop, Kaspersky Internet Security

I've done this 100 times, so I'm not sure why it's not working this time. Ok, here's the issues:

1. The shared folder does not appear to any of the other computers. Previously it worked fine.
2. The shared printer only appears to wired computers. Wireless computers can't see the host or the printer on the network. If I plug one of the wireless laptops into a network cable instead, it sees and can print fine.

What I've done so far:
1. Made sure all computers are on the same workgroup (currently called 'FLDM07').
2. Verified that the wireless computers are connected properly to the router.
3. Tried sharing another, different folder. Still, nothing could see it.

Any ideas?

Let me know if there's some more information you need.Aloha Quaxco

You have much more experience than I but I have had the same problem after pulling my hair out I finally realized the system I was working on had Zone
Alarm suite and I had to put each wireless address assigned by DHCP into zone alarms trusted zone and it worked. On other LAN NETWORKS I've had to open ports 67 and 68 and that helped.
I don't know if any of the above will work for you but I hope so.Just throwing it out there for you to consider.Hmm, no Zone Alarm on any of these, but I might check the firewall settings on the host system again just to make sure. Checked it once, but might have missed something.

Think I'll edit my first post and add the AV/Firewall programs just for reference as well.Ah, ok. Problem half solved.

I had forgotten to disable Windows Firewall after I installed Comodo Internet Security on the host system. Since disabling it, wired systems are working just fine. They can use the printer and shared folder.

However, I still can't get wireless systems to see the shared folder or printer at all. When viewing devices connected to the network, I can only see the laptop itself and the router, nothing more.Have you double checked your shares and permissions?Pretty sure I did. I won't be back out there until Thrusday night, so I'll go over it all again then.Okay, let us know.

Okay, so I've got my network set up and sharing internet to all computers and devices. Where I'm having troubles is getting all of my devices to share files and media servers. Here are the main details you should need to know:

-I have three computers, a desktop running XP SP3, a laptop running XP SP3, and a tablet running Vista SP1.

-I also have an Xbox 360 and a PS3, which ideally I'd like to have able to connect to a media server run by the desktop.

-There are other devices which connect to the network (Wii, Zune, PSP, DS) but as they don't require anything but the internet connection, they're fine.

-I'm using a D-Link router, which is connected to the internet. If necessary I can find the model number.

-My desktop connects to the router with an ethernet cable, and everything else connects wirelessly, with encription.

-All three computers are running Panda Antivirus and Firewall, which as far as I can tell is set up and working correctly.

-I'm using Windows Media Player for my media servers, and have ONE set up on all computers, mainly for testing. I'm basically just using the media servers on the laptop and tablet as an inefficient workaround and for testing at the moment.

Now, here's how everything communicates so far. It's kind of a mess:

Desktop:
-sees laptop and tablet in my network places
-does not see any external media servers in my network places
-does not see it's own media server in my network places
-WMP has detected my tablet to share with, but nothing else
-WMP does not detect any other media servers

Laptop:
-sees desktop in my network places
-does not see tablet in my network places
-does not see any external media servers in my network places
-does not see it's own media server in my network places
-WMP has detected tablet and Xbox to share with, but not PS3 or desktop
-WMP does not detect any media servers

Tablet:
-sees desktop in network
-sees laptop in network, but cannot connect to it
-sees its own media server in my network places
-has seen the desktops media server ONCE, right when the desktop detected it. It has never been seen again.
-WMP has has detected Xbox and PS3 to share with, but not desktop or tablet
-WMP does not currently detect any media servers

Xbox
-finds tablet's media server, but not the desktop or laptop's

-PS3
-finds tablet's media server, but not the desktop or laptop's
-finds an "Azureus" server from laptop when azureus is running, but not the WMP server

-Zune
-while it may not really help much, my tablet sees my zune in Network when it's DOCKED. It used to automatically sync with my desktop, opening the zune software and everything if I was logged on, but now can't seem to do a wireless sync at all. I've been having issues with my zune software though, so that could be a whole other can of worms...


So basically, my network is an entire mess. I don't have a clue why PARTS see each other and parts don't, and since there doesn't seem to be any glaring patterns, I can't pinpoint the problem to a single device. Everything can indirectly see each other, but it's really annoying and inefficient. Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to how to get everything to play nice? Thanks in advance!So basically, my arrangement is an absolute mess. I don't accept a clue why locations see anniversary added and locations don't, and back there doesn't assume to be any audacious patterns, I can't define the botheration to a individual device.

Hello!! ,

If someone knows please dont hesitate to help me !!Ok...I play CS:S(counter strike source) and particullarly at a wc3 server (where you gain LEVEL and stats) .This server saves your stats with the help of your IP address... But, recently i changed my router to a better one and my IP changed ... Fortunately, i have my old ip address(where the stats has been saved)...but i dont know how to change my new to the old one ...

Basiclly i want to change my ip to one my own...to a specific one...not a random.. Is that possible??? And if yes how???

Note: I want to change my "external IP address" (ie. 89.250.11.23)
Thank you!!
Depending on what made your outside IP change you may be able to change it back. For INSTANCE. My cable modem assigns my computer with its IP address according to my MAC address which cannot be changed. So every computer gets its own personal IP. Its possible that the new router assigned your computer a different inside IP which then gave you a different outside IP. If you know the internal IP you were using before we can try to set it back to that and see if that helps you out.

Ohh and dont flame me on this I am a noob yes its just speculation

P.S. I hope you didn't actualy post your outside IP here. Not a wise choice to post.


::Edit:: Post us the make/model of your old and new modem also.I didnt understand much...but I have to tell you that this is not a matter of my internal IP... I know my Internal IP...This does not change. But the REAL problem is with my external IP.
Look..., simply talking... I have an IP now (ie 89.25.205.20) and i want to change it back to another specific (ie 89.26.206.30). How can i do this???

P.S. These IPs are random taken I am not soooo stupid

My old router: Fritz!Box Fon (Annex B) [the ISP is Hellas Online(it's from Greece)]
My new router: NetFaster IAD [the ISP is Hellas Online]I did not mean to say your are stupid. There are two basic KIND of IP given from ISP a "Static IP" which is always the same everytime you connect to the internet. And "Dynamic IP" which changes everytime you connect to the internet.

Now I have a static IP based on my MAC addres. its like a serial number on the hardware. If I change my computer the IP address is changed for the new MAC address. And if I change back to the previous computer I get the old IP address.

Another thing is routers often carry their own MAC address and it could be assigning a different IP address because the router has a different MAC Address.

Some routers I beleive alow you to change the MAC address. Unplug your router from the internet but plug the router into your computer. Open up Internet Explorer or Firefox and type 127.0.0.1 This usualy connects you STRAIGHT to the router control options. If there is the option to change your MAC address there you may be in luck. Many you cannot change though.

If you had a static IP before and all you changed is the router. It is probably the MAC address assigned to the router OR the way your router is handling your IP address.
Sorry but you didnt undestand me...I dont want to change my Internal IP(maybe MAC address i m not sure what exactly you mean) I want to change the ip that is visible to others!!
This IP that you mentioned is not the external but the internal IP address and I think that using my router's site to change IP , only changes the Internal IP (127.168.1**.*).

I want a way to change my "EXTERNAL IP" (The IP that is shown at sites like www.ip-adress.com)

Note: the thing I said with stupid i was joking i didnt mean to blame you The only way to change your external IP Address (the one everyone else sees) is if you ask your ISP.ohh... Ok... thank you

Hello, and thanks for reading this post.

I've got three laptops all sharing a wireless home network. My two XP machines work fine, but the Vista machine won't connect wirelessly. I can, however, connect to that same router using an ethernet cable on that machine, and to other wireless networks. The laptop had connected wirelessly fine to my home network up until two weeks ago, but stopped at some point while our little kids were playing net games on it. --One of them may have hit a security setting or wireless setting. For some reason they'd accessed my wife's profile (admin), not their own (kids zone).

Any suggestions?

Hardware --
The laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ50, with 2GB of RAM and a Pentium T3200 CPU. The modem is a HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP. My router is a D-Link DIR-655, which of course is 802.11 N protocol. Both laptop and router were bought at Microcenter about six months ago.

Software --
My Vista build is Home Premium, with SP1 installed. I'd rolled back from SP2 a few days ago while trying to fix this error. I run ESET as my AV and firewall. The modem driver is up to date, latest driver edition from 2007. The wireless CONNECTION is enabled, and can see five or six live routers in my neighborhood. When I try to connect to my home router I get a diagnostic screen back that says either cannot connect or have a LIMITED connection. --The laptop sits right next to the router, so there is nothing physically blocking it, and the other PCs around the house have an excellent signal. I am using an open authentication, with WEP security.

Now, the router itself connects to my ISP via a city-wide wireless system, but that connection seems to be WORKING fine with the other two computers. As I mentioned earlier, if I connect as if I am roaming, I can connect to the city-wide network fine.

Calling the city-wide ISP, I was told that "Vista sometimes does this. You may have to unplug the modem, let it rest for 20 minutes, and start it up again." I did this, taking it out from the back panel. However, I did not start up that laptop while the modem was out. I put it back together, and have the same symptoms.

Thanks for any support or advice y'all might provide. -JaxWill the Vista machine connect if one of the other computers are turned off?Are your wireless drivers still there or up to date? That could be a possible fix. Vista on some installs tends to do such strange things.

Replying to two responses.

First, to Quantos: No, the Vista machine won't connect to my home wi-fi router regardless of the status of the other two working machines.

Second, to Techblue: Windows reports that the drivers are up to date. The publisher is CXT, the driver date is 11/15/07, and the driver version is 7.70.0.0.

We've been using this laptop via our ISP's roaming option connecting directly to the neighborhood wi-fi port for about 24 hours now. No problems with it with this workaround. Therefore I'm wondering if this kind of modem have a ROM that needs to be refreshed. I keep thinking about what the ISP's support guy said. It's common for the software guy to blame the hardware guy, but in this case I am not dismissing what he advised. Should I have uninstalled the driver prior to removing the wireless chip, then re-booted to cycle it as having been physically removed? ALSO, I've not yet called the D-Link folks. I believe the router has an option to upgrade to another security protocol, and I wonder if that would force a refresh of any bad settings. Thanks to all who've read this post.

Will the Vista machine connect if one of the other computers are turned off?

Quantos if you have some time can we get back to it. Let me recap what I have. My desktop computer has the usb 175 modem and want to share with another computer. Now do I need to hook up the other computer with the cat5 cable to the connection on the computer with the modem without going through a router do I need to go throuor gh the router?...........two-dogs Okay, I've been trying to sort out how to explain this to you, so bear with me.

Connect the computers that DON'T have internet to your wrt310n.
Plug the desktop(the one with the um175) into the wrt310n's WAN/Internet connection.
Make sure that in Device Manager that the desktop with the um175 has two WORKING ethernet cards.
Then run the ICS(Internet Connection Sharing) WIZARD.

Let me know if part of this seems vague, or you have any troubles with ICS.

If it works flawlessly for you, please let us know, that way I can stop looking for solutions. Quantos I only have one working as you can see I have a ! mark in the other one. So you are saying that I need two connections on the computer with the internet?

[attachment deleted by admin]According to that I see a RealTek and the um175.

Plug the wrt310n into the RealTek. That's the one you should use for this.

The um175 is your second connection, that's the one that has WAN activity. Quantos we have lift off Ok here is what I did just as you said I ran the wizard but I don't think you told me to do it on both computers I did that and made sure that I CHANGED my network name to workgroups and I now have my internet with the other computers. I want to thank you for all your HELP Quantos lost some sleep but it was worth it.............two-dogs I didn't MENTION running the ICS Wizard on the other machine, because I knew that it would tell you to do just that.

I'm so glad that we got that running for you. Just think of your new found confidence with computers.

Any day now we'll all see you helping others here. That would be great I am not very good with networking let alone messing with other stuff. I know just enough to make me dangerous but none the less again sure am happy you stuck with me and got it up.........one ? how do I post a thanks in you profile...I want to let others know how helpful you were.........two-dogs Never mind I found the thanks box

I have posted this on another Internet forum but I am getting no replies so I'm posting it again here. I'm sorry if this is against the rules but I will be leaving after today most likely so I really need a response as soon as possible. Please reply.

I am not a permanent member of this site but I am in desperate need of help so I came to ask a question. If no one wants to help that's fine, but I would like it if you would at least read this first before you decide not to respond.
My name is Carrie and I am 15 years-old and I was using my mom's laptop downstairs just now, and I was on the internet. The laptop is Windows VISTA, and is Dell. My mom uses it for her college work.
I was on a strange website looking up cheatcodes for videogames when a pop up appeared saying that the computer was in danger of getting a virus from this website. I panicked a little and exited the pop up and another one came up shortly after with the option of 'Halt Internet Connection' or 'Cancel'. I was afraid of getting the virus so I clicked on 'Halt Internet Connection'. After I did this, a third pop up came up saying that if I wanted to reconnect, all I had to do was go to the task bar on Internet explorer and click on 'Halt Internet Connection' again. So I searched for nearly an hour and never found that option. So, I started searching for all kinds of help on the computer help systems AND on the internet, but nothing was helping me because I wasn't able to ask specific questions like this.
My mom REALLY needs this computer for college and I feel very bad for messing up her internet, but I didn't mean to. So if anyone can help me to reconnect to the Internet I would be really grateful. Please help. Carrie, we'll need more information, I'm afraid. And it will take time to reach a solution. I'm sorry if that is a problem for you. If you need urgent help, you may be better taking the computer to a LOCAL shop.

I suspect your computer has some form of malware loaded, in which respect you might also want to post a request for assistance in the Malware forum. For now, could you please open a command prompt (Start-->Run-->Type "CMD"; click Ok). At the command prompt, type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter. Cut and paste the results here.Thank you replying. Do you want me to do all that on my mom's laptop or on this computer I'm on now?

Okay. I did it on the computer I'm on now and this is what I got:

Hi

i have an E-system 3115 laptop and have MANAGED to connect to the internet using an ethernet cable to my Scientific Atlanta modem, but what i want to do is connect the ethernet cable to my Belkin WIRELESS G+ MIMO router and GO online wirelessly.

I'm having problems doing this as it only seems to work when the cable is plugged into the laptop.

Thank you if you can help me. Here's a few things to try.

Make sure that the wireless is enabled in the bios.
Make sure that the switch for the wireless on the laptop is in the on position.yes both are enabled, any further tips?

ThanksDid you enable wireless in the router setup?

I have a NOKIA 3110c mobile with airtel gprs connection. I want to USE this mobile as a dial up internet modem.I have a CA 53 USB cable.Bluetooth technology is available in my mobile. So how can I connect my mobile with my pc as a modem without nokia pc suit or other SOFTWARE? Because I have no internet connection in my home for download any software. I am using windows XP professional (sp 2). Pls pls help me.It can't be done without the suite to the best of my knowledge.
You need something to tell the phone how to be a modem and communicate with the PC.Can be done. Grab the necessary DRIVERS >here<.Quote

For well over a year now I've been using a Linksys WUSB54G ver4 wireless adapter with my PC to connect to the family network running on a Belkin F5D8233-4v3 router. This morning after booting the PC I could not get a CONNECTION with the router. Sometimes it would show up with a strong signal but I couldn't connect, most of the time it wouldn't show up at all. I tried restarting all the components involved to little effect. I switched the adapter with a Netgear WN121T adapter and installed the Netgear software. After a few attempts I can now reliably connect to the router. However, after 5-10 minutes at most the connection degrades to the point of useless. The wireless reads a good connection (4-5 bars) and the speed shows over 200 Mbps, but webpages stop loading or responding. What I find especially strange is that often I can't even access the router menu, which I thought would be a given with a strong signal and connection speed listed.

Again, up until yesterday this setup worked perfectly, absolutely no complaints. I haven't any clue what has happened. Virus and MALWARE scans have come up empty. Have you any other machines connecting wirelessly to the router? Have you installed a DECT/cordless phone or wireless audio/video sender recently (or anything similar)? Any neighbours recently acquired a baby (and consequently a wireless baby monitor)?As of right now this is the only wireless machine in the house. I had an XBox on the network too but its packed away now and hasn't run since the problem started. No new cordless phones. Couldn't say about the baby monitor but I doubt it as I'm certain there's no babies around.

I did upgrade the firmware on the router. This had the immediate effect of giving me a stable albeit at times slow connection. It would consistently go from a decent speed to slow in waves. For a few days it was fine like this. Now its acting up again, out of the blue. Its almost as if the router doesn't want to communicate. My previous G adapter can't get a signal at all, and the N adapter, although it GETS a 100% signal, is constantly dropped or has a slow speed. Still can barely pull up the router setup page if at all when its connected.

I haven't a clue what's going on. In a few weeks I'll be moving and on a different network but I still have a lot to do before then online.I suppose there's always the possibility that the router is dying. The cheapest thing to do would be to install a wireless access point, but if that's not an option, you may want to consider connecting to the router using an ethernet cable...

If you're willing, it might be worth just going through the diagnostic process of checking your network configuration. To start with, at a command prompt, enter "ipconfig /all" and cut and paste the results here.Windows IP Configuration

Thank you for the help by the way.Okay, that all looks fine. I still suspect the router. The next time the connection goes funny, try the following commands:

ping 192.168.2.1
ping www.yahoo.com
nslookup www.yahoo.com

Copy and paste the output here - it might tell US just a little more.Well, it was all request timed out because the connection just wasn't existent, even if it was saying it was connect to the router. However, I decided to try digging out an old WRT54G I had. Using this once again I get full signal but the connection is slower than snot, and it disconnects more than it connects. Still can barely access the router if at all.

Near as I can tell I guess it IS some sort of interference, although nothing I can pinpoint as it doesn't seem to be on my property.I would recommend calling your ISP. They have techs that can trace rf interference, and I know that with my provider they will do it for free. Hopefully you can get away with a minimal charge or free as well.Sounds like a plan. I'm out of ideas anway. Thanks for the help guys.Hopefully it works out, LET us know Ah, I'm so dense. I was thinking about frequencies and realized there was one thing I hadn't tried all along, changing the channel. I still can't get the G adapters to see the router but the N adapter is working like a breeze now with a different channel selected. Sorry for the trouble guys.

I've got a lap top with windows 98 installed, using an 802.11/b PC CARD, I can't get it to connect to my access point while WEP or WPA is enabled...Is it possible to do this with Windows 98?

I doubt windows 98 would support WPA since Windows XP wouldn't even support it without a certain update.......And WEP is a panty waste for the most part and wouldn't make MUCH of a difference since it's so easily crackable......So what's the use? I don't know, I guess some encryption is better than nothing. So if anyone has any ideas on how to encrypt my wireless access point using Windows 98 I'd APPRECIATE some data... WEP is definitely better than nothing since it reduces the risk of casual users encroaching on your network. I suspect the problem is not Win98 though - more like the drivers for the network card aren't up to the job. Might be an idea to migrate that laptop to Linux unless you've got some Windows-only applications you can't live without.That's an excellent suggestion, Rob. No, I know you don't need me to add to my post count to point out that observation.

Linux is a really good ALTERNATIVE for older systems, asi different Linux distributions ("distros") run robustly on older equipment.The laptop barely meets the system requirements for Ubuntu... The HDD is only 4 gig...Are there and distros lighter than Ubuntu? ...I've looked around for larger hard drives but couldn't find anything larger than 4 gig......Couldn't I convert a USB thumb drive to a fixed drive..Isn't there a program that "flips the bit" on the USB drive, and makes the computer recognize it as a fixed drive?

Pent. 2......160 MB ram......4 GB HDD........Toshiba Satellite 4005CS

I guess I could try one of the live linux distros...I've already got Knoppix burned to CD. I'd hate to get rid of Windows 98 so this might be good ....I like the sound that Win98 makes when first logging on ....I know that's a dumb reason to keep 98, but I kind of like retro-type stuff, anyway.

Say, are there any tutorials available on how to make Knoppix Live connect to your home access point, because I've tried to do it with Knoppix before, but I didn't know exactly what I was doing..


edit: I do have an 802.11/g card to go with the laptop but I'm having problems installing the driver for it...Basically, I need files from the installation disk that came with the laptop to properly install the driver (at least I THINK that's what the problem is).....I won't have the disk for a couple more weeks...Would the 802.11/g card support WEP?

new info on the /g card: it doesn't work, period. Whether using Windows 98 or Linux, the power indicator light never comes on.....when using the /b card at least there is indication that there is power to the card, but with the /g card....it shows no signs of life ...............waste of $12 bucks......came all the way from China too I don't have much further comment except to say that I've just completed a Debian GNU/Linux install on a very old Toshiba Portégé 3300CT with no built in network card, CDROM drive or floppy drive. It was a challenging but worthwhile install and you may find that >the blog I posted about the process< provides you with some ideas/inspiration.

Is there anyway to boost my WIFI reception from my COMPUTER without upgrading the router?You could upgrade your wifi card to a high sensitivity card. (SEARCH for "high gain wireless" on eBay, for EXAMPLE.) Be cynical if you actually buy through eBay - many sellers may claim high sensitivity in ORDER to sell an inferior product. Google for product REVIEWS.

My Dad used Netgear to block it. When I go onto the site it says: Web Site Blocked By NETGEAR Firewall. Proxy's won't work, I can't reset the router (he would notice) and I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what the password is. He has changed the password from the default.

Any help will be great.

Thanks. We cannot help you bypass controls put in place (presumably for your own PROTECTION - and I can see why!) by your parents.I understand... But it's a game website... and I'm not a 7 year oldWhat's your point?

The world is filled with adolescents and young teens who see movies and games rated beyond their years. We all shrug like it's no big deal.

I am APPALLED by the movies and games my ten year old stepson has been allowed to see and play. No big deal, right? -- but until recently, he was afraid to be in the same room with a doll, because some fool let him watch the "Chucky" movies when he was six. I'm not a prude, though I'm sure OTHERS on the site think I am. All in time, when you are older, perhaps, and show your FATHER maturity and reason to trust you.

(Oh, by the way, I let my stepson "cheat" on certain things -- I may be mostly unreasonable, but not completely unreasonable.)

Your dad's doing his job. I wish more parents would. You probably feel like you're missing out on something great, but no GAME takes the place of real life. Go create YOUR life in the meantime, and ignore the people in your peer group who acts like bad mo-fo's because they can do things in game that they can't do in real life. The games will be there when you get older.

Shame on us, or anyone, who helps "crack" the security your dad's put in place.

and I'm not a 7 year old

I receieve internet services through Time Warner Cable here in Lincoln, NE. Recently we upgraded our basic road runner to the so called faster and it's been nothing but problems:
-Internet connection slowed down
-Download speeds slowed
-Almost no connection at peak times and late night (12 am - 3 am)
-Now no connection

The modem we use is make by Arris and we hook up our phone, ETHERNET cable for internet, and cable to wall into it. The ethernet cable for internet is connected to a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit that gives wireless access to my iPod, Personal Computer in my bedroom, and Xbobx while also giving a direct ethernet connection from the router to the main computer in our LIVING room.

Yesterday about 4 pm central time we lost connection to the internet on all devices and were unable to reconnect. We called TWCs support and they're attempt to fix it failed (just told us to unplug it than plug it back in) and they will send someone out on the 22 or 23 between 1-5... I was however able to restore internet access to the main computer by redirecting the ethernet cable from the modem directly into the computer.

So what is casuing the problem that my wireless router can't redirect internet use to any of the devices?

If you need any more information I am happy to give it, very anxious to get internet usage back so I can finish some tournaments online.Quote

trying to connect wireless.i have a laptop with vista in it and a desktop with xp..my laptop has a wireless network adapter in it and i bought a wireless network adapter for my desktop..the thing is they both can connect wireless now but they can connect at the same TIME..if im on the internet on the desktop my laptop will connect local and thats all,same with the desktop if im on the internet with my laptop my desktop wont go on the internet....Are you connecting to a wireless router...if so is DHCP SET up to OFFER more than one IP address? By default DHCP should issue 002 to 253 or 254. Sounds like both systems are competing for the lease the IP Lease.

Run IP config/all from both systems command prompt and verify that their addresses do not start with 169.x.x.x and that their last octet x.x.x.thisone is not the same such as 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.2Quote from: DaveLembke on June 22, 2009, 02:26:42 PM

I just got a WIRELESS router so my daughter could have her own coputer in her room(don't worry she is 20 YEARS OLD) so I definately have connection we have signal strenght variying from excellen to to good but can not get online. I changed the connection to microsoft zero so that the XP could diagnose the problem and it now gives me this message.
Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP,HTTPS or FTP. This is probably caused by firewall setting on this computer. Check firewall settings for HTTP port(80) HTTPS port(443) and FTP port (21)

The system on the PC she is using is XP, I bought an intellinet router with 4 ports and wireless 150N, I am using my PC also XP which is hardwired and online without problem through the same router. Her PC has Intellinet wireless G PCI card


I have turned off the windows firewall and completely removed the AVG security that was on the PC when she bought it.

Any and all help appreciated.At a command prompt, enter the command "tracert www.yahoo.com". Copy and PASTE the results here. Ditto "ipconfig /all". This will greatly help us to diagnose your problem.Okay, thanks. That all looks okay (as far as we are able to tell). I wonder if something went wrong when you uninstalled AVG. Was it the full security suite or just the free antivirus? Could you try, at a command prompt tracert www.yahoo.com. What happens? If you just get a blank screen, try typing anything then hitting enter. Anything happen?
