I wiwll have to check ill get back to you later, but thanks for the reply.

I checked it and all tcp options were enabled.. does me having just one machine in which Sql is installed play a role?

And on sql i am logged in through windows authentication.

This laptop with Windows usually could find networks. Then there was a system error. Something with \Windows\System that wouldn't even get it to the Windows loading screen. I fixed that. And now, it seems it cannot find available networks. The only network it can find is a 1394 connection, which is "CONNECTED, but Firewalled". The network I want to connect to is named "homenetwork". It has security with a WEP key.

I do not know what the problem is. The laptop does have the SWITCH on that allows it to find networks. (The symbol that looks like a RADIO tower)

The other laptop is loaded with Windows 7, and is connected to "homenetwork" just fine.

The DESKTOP, the computer that basically is in control of the network, also runs on Windows XP, with a Linksys router.

I'm not really sure if you need specs. But the specs in my profile are the specs for the desktop.

EDIT: Just tried to connect the Ethernet cord into the laptop. From what I could see, no Internet that way either.Have you tried restarting wirless zero configuration?STILL no luck.

Hi.


I'm running out of OPTIONS and ideas.

My wireless internet connection drops me of at least 1 a minute. It happens for 1-3sec and quickly returns to normal. It can sometimes be spikes where e.g. the game ping goes from 60 to 600-999 for 1-3 sec or a disconnect for 1-3 seconds. Both times - after the 1-3 sec - the internet returns to normal.

When I connect with a CABLE everything is fine. Have no spikes nor disconnects.

I've talking to my internet surplier (Telenor in Denmark) and they claim that my line works 110% and they can't detect any problems what so ever.

Thinking it was my wireless router (Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A) I replaced it, but didn't help.

I tried connecting my own netgear N150 to see if it helped - but WEIRD enough the problem wasn't gone.

I've tried with 2 other computer on my network, and they had the same problem. A HP computer and a Mac. I got an Acer myself.

I tried switching the channel of the wireless. I did a search and FOUND the following 10 wireless profiles on these channels.

channel 11 - 48%
channel 9 - 99% (my own wireless router)
channel 1 - 60%
channel 7 - 28%
channel 13 - 21%
channel 11 - 35%
channel 1 - 25%
channel 1 - 20%¨
channel 6 - 23%
channel 6 - 31%

(This variate each time I do the search - I guess their routers are on "auto" when it comes to finding the channel.)

I set mine on channel 9 to be as "alone" as possible. Didn't help.

I also tried setting it to a static ip instead of automatically. Didn't help.

Trying (suggestions from Telenor supporter) using googles DNS adress - but didn't help.

My routers software is up-to-date along with my Intel Wi-fi.


I'm out of ideas and would be more that gratefull for someone who got a suggestion on how to fix it.

I got an Acer Aspire 6930g with Vista 32 bit.


If you have any questions at all fire away.


Really hope you can be of assist.

Kinds regards, ChristianSet a DMZ address on the router, then use this address as the IP address on whatever game console your'e using or PC. when asked for a default gateway, just use the normal IP address for your router for both the default gateway and the DNS server, that should fix you right upHave you tried a different model of router? Zyxel doesn't sound like a known brand name...

Also, how far is your computer away from the wireless router?

Are you running any cordless phones or other wireless devices on the 2.4 GHz frequency?

Are there any THICK brick or concrete WALLS between the router and the PC?Sorry for the late respond. I've been on vacation.

Yes, I've tried other routers even a n300 signal router from Netgear - same problem.

I'm sitting right next to the router - theres about 1 meter to the router.

No, but I did a search and found 12-15 other wireless network in the area. A guy told me, that my problem could be the many wireless connections nearby.

I don't know what to do.


Thanks for your reply...

I just purchased an HP LaserJet 1200 that came with a Jetdirect 175X PRINT server. I've tried to add it to my existing Netgear WGR614 wireless router with no luck. The print server is detected on the router and vice versa; the print server is also able to generate a test page through the printer. However, when I go into the router ADMIN, the print server is not shown, even after a ipconfig/release and renew. Needless to say, the printer is not detected by my computer. Any ideas are much appreciated!Quote from: focusbiz on August 15, 2010, 12:17:16 PM

NEED ASSISTAN TO USE A HYPER TERMINAL

you think you are very smart

Hi there,

I have a laptop running windows 7 and a desktop running xp. I would like to know if I can acces the desktop via my laptop and use the desktop as if I was sitting at the desktop. I am not sure about the proper terminology and I hope that I have explained what I am after ok.

The desktop is connected directly to the wireless router and the laptop is connect only via the wireless router.

If you need more information please let me know and I will provide any further details.

RegardsI'm not sure about W7 but XP has a utility in the Accessories folder called "Remote Desktop Connection". You must know the IP ADDRESS of the computer you want to control to access it with this utility.


Alan <>
Any idea how I find the IP address?

After finding the IP address what do I need to do next.Open a command prompt and type: ipconfig and press enterI would not use Remote Desktop Connection for this purpose. What you need to do is enable File Sharing is Windows XP; that will allow the laptop to see the folders and/or files you've marked for File Sharing is Windows XP.

REFERENCE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040Remote Desktop does not always work correctly (my experience).
One of problems is with a Cold Start of the Router. Example: If the Wireless Laptop is on top of the ARP stack and the rest (hardwired PC's) are on the bottom, then at (cold) re-start the ARP stack could be cleared and the hardwired ones will have a new Internal IP-address, while the Wireless ones will fall on the bottom, throwing the IPs of the Remote Desktop out of whack.
One way of dealing with that is to assign a Static IP to the PC's, but that defeats the whole purpose.

As SOYBEAN says: The proper way of dealing with this problem is to "enable Filesharing".

By the way: Remote Desktop does not work anyways for Windows 2000 and below.Thanks for the advice

I think I will not WORRY about the remote desktop thing.

Just one last question....

How do I SET up the desktop to print to the printer attached to the laptop?

I assume you have a non-wireless printer.
Then in your case:
-plug in the printer into the Desktop instead, resolve any issue to make sure you can print you can print from the Desktop. Print a "test page".
-now try to print from your laptop. The Laptop will search for an available printer. Then resolve issues such as "add a printer" and "Default Printer". You should not have any problems printing a "test page".

Now you can print anywhere from your Wireless Laptop, without having a printer attached to it, provided the Desktop is up and running.

I uploaded a video yesterday and today, but no one is receiving them. The videos are showing that they are completely uploaded. I should have a lot more views than 4 in a couple hours time. They only way I can send the video is by emailing them to my subscribers! I'm doing everything right! Could it be You Tube acting up as usual? Thanks. What is your channel? I hate to SOUND mean, but you probably just arn't popular at all. A big percantage of Youtube's videos have less than 1000 views after being around for a YEAR or two. You can't expect to upload a video and suddenly GET a million views.but if you're averaging, let's say, 100 views per video and all videos have more than 4 or 5 viewers within 3 hours, something's fishy.Quote from: 1two3 on August 18, 2010, 02:33:50 PM

I only get 0.33Mb/s upload so I can barley PLAY any online games, on cod I have 200ping, WoW I get 30ms but sometime 1k+ so sometimes I can't do so much... So I would gladly trade my current connection to 10Mb/s down and 10Mb/s up.

So whats the point to have a huge Download when you can't upload anything?0.33 upload causes that much difficulty? Wow.

And too think I used to play games using 56kbps download and 36kbps upload without any problems whatsoever.

Ping times are mostly relating to your distance from the server, as well as the load on your own LAN and the network of your ISP. It's usually unrelated to download and upload speed.

On the other hand, it could just be that games today have very badly thought out protocols.But, is it fundamentally right?

I mean, can Copper lines deliver speed of upto 330Mbps(as showcase in Screenshot)?

He must be on a Cable BROADBAND!?

Is there any further variant of ADSL after VDSL?

Nevertheless, I can atleast boast of faster upload rate than Frejoh, mine is 0.43Mbps.

Download ROUGHLY stands at 1.77Mbps on an average BUT my ISP is always rated B at Pingtest.net owing to greater 'Jitter' rate

& practically, I do sometimes observe high latency(slow response time) on clicking a web link.

I've read reports of GB speeds over copper in the labs, but I don't think there are any real world applications of it yet.

The phone companies have an incredible amount of money invested in copper wiring world wide and they are trying to get the most out of it.Well I don't know if they made it extra thick, (or if it even is copper) but they laid it just because they are building a new village with 50+ hoses.

Hello There!

Troubleshooting Internet connectivity could be a long & a TARDY process. What "SYMPTOMS" ask to mend the Winsock LSP fix?..& how to accomplish the same?

At the moment, I occasionally PLAY with it using "UTILITIES" built within Super Antispyware.

In actual, when to USE the same & how?

How i can attached two computers for data sharing without INTERNET connection?Hi

1. First check the two systems it contains LAN port or Not (if not add).
2. Buy a Lan cable which is called Cross crimp.
3. connect two systems through this cable
4. Share everything you want to copy to another system.You want to use a crossover cable: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-two-computers-using-a-crossover-cableThese suggestions are too difficult, it CREATES Firewall problems, especially if one Computer is W2K and the other is XP.

I assume that "businessman1927" has a router?
Plainly plug both Computers into the Router, and do Filesharing. Let the system will deal with the problemsYou cant assume anything. There isnt enough information there, Allan gave what is the best thing that he can try. We will need to know what KIND of Operating System that the units are running to config them correctly. Also, the cheapest way to connect these is via a cross over cable. Wal-mart or most electronic chains should have them. Slade,
You are absolutely correct: You can't assume anything.
businessman1927 did not refer to what OS was involved: Commodore, PS2, Appel may be?
businessman1927's profile states: Windows.
From there Allan may already have assumed that businessman1927 was referring to an OS Windows, and therefor he suggested the mentioned Windows.Microsoft website. Allan should not have MADE that assumption without asking businessman1927 what operating system was at stake.
And I was so dumb to assume that businessman1927 was referring to OS Windows Re: profile, and perhaps had access to a Router.
Maybe businessman1927 is trying to cross an Amigo and a Timex2000. We still don't know.
Such dumb assumptions!

I DONT think that it would be that old of units. If thats what he has, its more then likely Windows. Course some people have several units. Those are not self configing maybe if he was attaching to a preexsisting network. This case he will need a peer to peer but, till he replies back we cant go any further.

I am trying to fix a Dell Inspiron laptop.. I found drivers missing (with HELP from guitar man) and after i redid all those,, and restarted puter,, i went to available networks and did a repair connection,, it got on line,, so i installed AVG and ran the scan, then came back to puter after restarting for windows updates , now it is not finding any wireless networks to connect to,, I am using it right now and it works on my puter with the wireless router or the ethernet with no problems,, i will try to add another thread here,, when the windows UPDATE finishes installing all of the rest of updates,,

crann01I downloaded winsockfix and it worked, then restarted puter and quit working, Is is safe to RUN winsockfix for her when she WANTS wireless? she doesnt have it at her home yet..

I am stumped when i can get it to work with this,, but nothing else,, guess i really need to learn more on routers and networking..


Thanks allI re-read your posts twice and I can't figure out, what your CURRENT issue is

I was ABLE to GET ONLINE with my laptop at my moms thru the wireless outer but now it is saying there is a signal but says llimited or no connectivity. I don't know if I did something. I TRIED to plug in our cable internet but it says the same thing. Any help out there. I would be very gratefull. My son needs it for school.

Thank You!

@BC_Programmer

Then please explain it because I don't understand.

Also... please don't insult me.

I see...

In the end... I'm screwed once again.

It's an internet connection, not a life support system.

I've added a few entries to my hosts file for certain reasons, but only some of them work.

I know the Ip addresses I added are valid, because they work if I type them into a browser.Post here, what you added and explain why you believe some entries don't work.well, after pinging www.geico.com (i'm trying to save 15 % .......jk)

and

www.monster.com

I took the returned IP addresses and added them to the hosts file, like:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx geico

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx monster

But I actually just REALIZED that the IP address DO NOT work as I said they did, when typed into a browser. I got the wrong impression at some point... I don't know why they won't work when typed into a browser. I guess it could be that they are dynamic public addresses and they are changing, but there are only a few other public addresses that I have seen those sites use (by pinging multiple times) and those addresses don't work either, when typed into a browser.

On the other hand, pinging other sites and using the returned IP addresses in the browser does work....






I'm not sure, what you're trying to do.
Why are you trying to add those sites to "hosts" file.
With "hosts" file you can BLOCK certain sites, but I don't think, you want to block geico...block ?


I don't know what you mean. As far as I know adding to the hosts file is a WAY to resolve host names to IP addresses, not block them. I added the IP address of my bank to the hosts file and assigned a certain name to it, just like above. Now when I go to my browser I type that certain name, and that name is resolved to the corresponding IP address...and it works fine..OK, let's go back to the beginning.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
What is your goal?Quote from: grandpa_simpson on August 23, 2010, 12:14:12 AM

That is a very strange way of creating bookmarks.

The reason is because I recently picked up studying penetration testing/countermeasures and I read about "dns cache poisoning" Until I know about the different ways this attack can be carried out I would prefer to use my own name resolution, for certain websites. As far as I can see, this would ensure that no matter what a hacker could do to dns server, at least I would know that the IP address I'm using is the right one..

Hello

Recently I think about "there are many filtered web site in internet network in my country…!" so, I decide to extract statistical information about filtered and non-filtered website (domain).
I program a Perl application to test this and extract statistical information.

Now I only need:
-All present and active domain address
-Activation (visitor number or traffic) of each one (this is optional but BETTER to have)

How can I find (or access) to the list of all present and active domain address?

Thanks
1) You can't.
2) Why?
3) That's 100S of billions of websites.1)why?
2)because information extracted from this list, filtered and non-filtered website , is useful to study network/internet law in my country and also show amount of severity and/or rest if this law.
3) there is no way. random process for web address(or IP domain) is difficult .http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_web_sites_are_there_in_the_World_Wide_WebQuote from: KPAC on August 21, 2010, 03:23:55 PM

you could always go to one of them websites that list domains and start buying ones that are names of famous people that could definitely make you some money.

Hello EVERYONE,
I'm brand NEW to this site.
I am having a problem setting up the security on my ACCESS point. I get a free internet signal in one location in my house, so i bought an access point so i could use my laptop anywhere in my house. the problem is that i can't get the security to work right on the access point when i set it up. Any idea's?
I'm using a compaq presario, with windows vista, the access point is a tp link model TL-wa501g.
The access point is set up in repeater mode.
Seems all my neighbors are hooking up to my access point making my computer extremely slow and basically un USABLE. Quote

I want to Prohibit Access to the properties of LAN connectios.So I went to "USER Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Connections:
Enable "Prohibit Access to the properties of a LAN connection"
I made these changes in Administrator account .After that I restarted the PC. But still user is able to change the properties of LAN connections.I dont know why this is happening.Please help me to OVERCOME of this topic.
Thankin you.Have you got a different PASS word for your Admin a/c?, therwise the computer thinks you ARE the admin when you sign in.Make sure the user you're WANTING to AFFECT is not part of the administrators group on the pc. Users in the admin group are still admins and can change most everything even if a policy restricts it.Also what OS are you running?

Hello and THANK you for clicking on my little problem here. i have my ps3 connected to my laptop via ethernet. and i have my laptop connected to router via wifi. my latop SUPPORTS dual connections such as this. but where my ps3 will succeed in finding and obtaining its ip it fails very quickly (not even timing out) when it comes to connecting to the internet.

i have enabled everything on the WNC to allow the LAN to bypass the firewall. i have even port forwarded everything needed for the PSN. but they wont bridge for some reason. and even though the lan is connected it says limited or no CONNECTION.

but the ethernet cable works directly. recently my brother decided to move the pc to the living room so he could go on internet. he is now using the only ethernet port on my router and my ps3 isnt a wireless one.


i THINK i have explained as much as i can about what i have done so any help would be great. XDFor starters since this connection to the internet for the PS3 is going via the router it will be laggy (just fyi). Ok then, how did you attempt the bridged connection?

what you could try but i assume you haven't is to go to your laptop and go to the network connections and double click on the wifi, to bring up its status then select details.
Next, write down the primary DNS server that are shown on the screen
Last, go to your PS3 and input this in the DNS sever area on network connections.

This method works for the XBOX 360 I've done it. it should work for you as well. i did the same setup on my laptop until i was able to run an Ethernet cable to the room with the XBOX 360 in it.

Routers Blocking Internet Site(s)

Ok, so I I have used 3 routers to test this problem(not all at the same time lol).
and it happens on ALL of them the 3 Routers Involved are.
Dlink DI-524 (H/W Ver :C1)
Linksys BEFW11S4 Ver.2
Belkin Model # F5D5231-4 Ver.1103

Computer Information
Operating system : Windows XP Home Edition 2002
service packs: SP 2
computer make/model : Dell Optiplex GX520
Intel Celeron CPU 2.66 GHz
current adware/spyware/virus programs being used on a REGULAR basis: Avast
do you have a "real" Windows CD, etc.: Yes I do

So here's the Issue. I know its some thing to do with the routers.
How do I know its the routers? There are 2 reasons that leave me
With this conclusion..

1) If I unplug them, And Plug my computer Directly into the Cable
modem, The Site loads perfectly. So we can rule out ISP. If it was
ISP, The Site would still be blocked.

2) After connecting the Router the site will load 1 time and then clicking
On any link will result in the page not found Error. If i enter the
Router settings, and do a Factory Reset, Im able to access the page
1 time before its blocked again.


Now... Iv tried turning off the Firewalls, Iv tried Removing any and all
Passwords and security. Its as open as the sky... But nothing works.
Some thing, some where in these routers is Blocking my connection to
the website, and in doing so blocking my connection to my email.

For example.
When I enter a cmd line and type "ping http://www.echothefaith.com" the
Following information is returned to me.

I can Ping it, I can load it without using the router, (or 1 time if i reset it) and it loads fine on NEIGHBORS pc... So, ruling out ISP, Ruling out the site has issues. im left with 3 routers that are telling me no. lol im in a boat with no paddle.


Why do my routers Hate Me
Congratulations, I've picked your post as worthy of a reply, lol. Okay seriously though lets get to business. First good job on having some good deduction skills. You can visit sites without the routers but you can't when you connect them between your modem & pc. You only mentioned one specific site having trouble but I am going to assume you have trouble visiting all sites from your first sentence.

Your problem seems to be an IP address issue. In the command prompt type the following without quotes: "ipconfig". Write down the ip address & subnet mask that you get. It should probably be something like 192.168.0.5 for ip & 255.255.255.0 for subnet. Do these look the same as the ip address you type to get to the router settings? Post back with your results of both your pc & router ips.

Another thing you may want to try is to connect one of the routers. Then from the command line of your pc type the following without quotes: "ipconfig /renew". This should give you a new ip address from the router that should be valid. Now visit the site and see if you can see it with no problems. Hi thanks for the quick reply..
Here is the info I think you asked for lol

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Belkin
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. . . . . . . . . . . . .: 192.168.1.1

The Router Login would be http://192.168.2.1/

This is with my Belkin Router. I did Try doing the "ipconfig /renew" but it still displays a "problem loading page ' error. There's your problem dude. Your pc ip is not in the same subnet as your router. To put simply your pc ip is in one zip code and your router is in another zip code. Your pc is in subnet 192.168.1.0 and your router is in subnet 192.168.2.0. You either have to be in 1.0 or 2.0.

Go to control panel and then network connections. Right click your connection (something like LOCAL AREA NETWORK 1) & select properties. Then select tcp/ip (IPV4) and select properties. Does it have OBTAIN IP AUTOMATICALLY or does it have the ip typed in?ok confusion continues

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Belkin

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),Did that solve your problem with the Belkin router? Also can you ping any site? Have you tried pinging google.com and get the same response? You didn't answer my question of whether or not you had "obtain ip automatically". At least now your ip is in the same subnet as your router. You only have 1 router hooked up right? You don't have 2 or 3 hooked up at the same time? This is really a very simple problem to fix. Unfortunately without being there and seeing how your network is physically set up it will take longer to figure out your issue. Is your modem also a router?

Hey guys. I am currently working on my CCNA, CCNET, and CompTIA Network +, and I would like some clarification as to how the whole system works. I am just a beginner to the class, but I am one of those people that is curious about everything and tends to jump the gun on subjects I care about.

Alright, I understand that each computer is assigned an IP address by their ISP (internet provider) which is like the address of a house to that computer. Somehow, after the ISP, the DNS gets involved in this. Once this is established, the computer will send specific PACKETS of various information through ports meant for various TASKS to preform. These packets communicate back and forth from computer to computer.

Now, on TOP of that, if a router gets involved, the IP address becomes the router's IP address and the IP of the computer is instead given a network address (thus 192.168.1.xxx). Once this is established, you can no longer connect to a specific computer using a program because you cannot tell which computer to connect to. So, if I were to use a VNC software on my Netbook (right beside my other computer) the server side installs fine. But the client side asks the IP address of the netbook. If I enter the IP address of the netbook (which I GET on the netbook and use whatsmyip.org to get), the connection fails. I am thinking I have to address the network address somehow. My IT teacher instructed me I have to navigate through the router, then to the selected computer. This is a little rhetorical.

From this situation, I am informed there is still quite a bit of information about networks I lack. I know that CCNA will teach me how to operate Cisco routers, switches, and other hardware with software. But my own curiosity has brought me to wonder how the whole process works. Is there ANY way I can tell my desktop to contact the router, find out it IS a router, then figure out which computer i am looking for, then navigate to it somehow? This is the long way, but it would help me understand my own home network.

I have searched around on Wiki and related sites, I am given a brief description, but it is either incomprehensible or extremely elementary.Well since your question seems legit and not a homework question I will be glad to explain your situation. Okay you know the basics between a public ip & a private ip right? A public ip is what the world (internet) sees and the private is what your pcs at home see for each other. The public ip is given to your router. Your router has 2 ips. One is the public & one is the private. Your computers communicate with your router through the private ip. Your router then TRANSLATES this private address back to the public ip. This is called NAT. It's what allows multiple ips to share 1 public ip. Anyways, when your vnc client asks for a server ip within your own network it should be the private ip. If you are trying to vnc to your home computer from outside your home then you give it the public ip. In your router you then have to look for the PORT FORWARDING setting. This tells the router that when a packet comes from the internet to its public ip for a certain port it then needs to know what pc (or private ip) it needs to send it to. That's how you'll get around your issue. So if I were to say if packets SENT through port 2005, go to 192.168.(enter private IP here)? In that case, what happens if you want to VNC multiple computers on that network? Say another desktop downstairs? Or is this impossible?Not impossible just have to think outside the box. Ports are not fixed to a certain service. Although there are standards that say x port should be x service, aka port 80 means web traffic it doesn't mean port 80 can't be another service. Likewise, port 2005 isn't just for vnc. When you set up the vnc server you just need to put a different port for each pc. That way you can then do what you want with port forwarding in your router to the right pc. It's definitely a hassle but not impossible.

Hi guys.
When my wife finished what she was doing on her computer she shut it down as normal then when i started it up this morning for her it just wont connect.
It finds the drivers but no internet
She reinstalled at least 3 times but still nothing happens.
I changed the ethernet wire over and placed her wire in my computer and there was no issue.
As nothing there was happening i installed Windows 7 and the only problem i have with it is that it still refuses to connect.
I have read on other sites about removing some sort of card but this is the factory connected ethernet port which is part of the motherboard.

Please could someone help as we are hoping to sell both of our computers and hers looks nicer than MINE lol

The only thing i have done to her computer was install ram which was taken back out as i bought the wrong one - oops.


Thanks in advance Quote

Upon looking this morning it actually doesn't find the drivers

my win vista is wirelessly connected to my home network via router. when i go to network and sharing, it shows i'm connected to 2 networks (both with my network name, one has a 2 after network name and the other has a 4) when i DISCONNECT either one my network is INOPERABLE. how can i get back to being connected to only one network? thanks,just found answer. for each network i hit CUSTOMIZE and merged both into the original network. HOPE this might help someone else.

My father is attempting to stream game audio out threw online for the radio station he works at. He has the unit to stream it from setup thing is that when he attempts to do it, the ROUTER supposebly blocks him. Thing is that he isnt sure how to open a port on it. Any idea's how too. I will attempt to add information as needed cause Im not todally sure how to do this ether.I don't know if your router is blocking the streaming or not but one thing is for sure. Your ISP might be blocking it. ISPs don't LIKE your HOSTING a server in their network. They frown upon it and usually reserve such things for their business customers not residential ones.

My PC is SHOWING network cable unplugged error. Sometimes it automatically fixes and internet works fine but few minutes later it starts to show the same error again.

I contacted by ISP and he advised me to change Ethernet Card. I changed the card but I am having still having the problem.

I am using "Realtek RTL8139/810x Family FAST Ethernet NIC" card and I have UPDATE the drivers as well - Driver Version -5.719.325.2009 but I continue to have the problem. I even changed the slot of Ethernet Card but it didn't work.

My ISP insists that network cable is fine. I don't know what is the problem. Please help.

I am using Windows XP.

Not sure if this applies to you: http://bit.ly/auUibo

Other info:
- loose socket on laptop/PC NIC.
- You may be downloading a lot (of torrents) and thus your connection is being overloaded, causing this message
- Make sure you using dhcp on the router and remove any static entries

1. Firmware fixes most of the issues. Check for any available firmware specific for your router.
2. Do Check the IP from the modem. If it is private then this is the culprit. The IP from modem should always be public.
3. Try changing the LAN card SPEED to 10 half duplex.
Here's how:
Device Manager -> your ethernet card -> right click -> properties -> Advanced tab -> Change 'Value' in 'Link Speed/Duplex Mode'

4. If neither of the steps work and things are fine with the IP address then Reset and RECONFIGURE the router.

Though your problem description reminds me of a lack of buffer, so I would try step 3 first.


Please reply if any of this helped.
You might switch patch cords also. The RJ45 might be loose on one end causing the intermittent problem.

i have INSTALLED MS server 2k3 enterprise edition, given roles for DC, DNS and DHCP, gone to Applications server and enabled DTC, added my computer and one user yet, as far as i know i can see these items in AD clearly. Oh i had also finished to configure the DHCP scope. on my server the IP address is static(thats obvious), the prefered DNS server is 127.0.0.1....My problem though is;
when i connect the computer onto the SWITCH (its a basic 3com 8port), it reads "limited or no connectivity"
please help me "what am i not doing right, what am i missing doing"TRY setting your DNS server address to be the same as your static server IP address.

I have two identical BT Home Hub 2 's that I wish to connect to the one incoming phone line to enable me to get wireless signals to a greater area by having each Hub situated in different parts of the HOUSE. Singlely each hub works perfect, both having its own 'key'. however, when connected tgether through a two way splitter at the same time, they will not connect to the BT, both having the 'Broadband' lights flashing AMBER. Is there any way to connect both at the same time please?You can''t do this. They aren't "identical"; they have unique hardware IDS and only one at a time will work on your line.
Thanks, that is just what I didn't want to hear. Is there any way to connect one hub THROUGH the on line hub to INCREASE the range? ie. feeding the second hub from one of the SPARE yellow sockets on the 'live' hub?

Hi, I am new to this so I hope someone can help as I am really confussed!!!

I have a home computer that I set up for wireless internet using a NETGEAR medem router. the router then stopped working so I purchased a new on. probelm is this new one (exactly the same manke and MODEL) will not connect. when I RUN the disk install it has to be done through an ethernet cable not wirelessly so I can not get any further with it. when the router is switched on the LIGHTS are green as they should be APART from the internet one which is red. I am really lost so any help would be really greatly appreciated. thanks

Good Morning,

I have a user who has been experiencing network connectivity PROBLEMS every morning he comes to work. I go to the patch panel and change his PORT and the customer receives connection, and EVERYTHING is fine until the NEXT working day.

Anyone has an idea what could be causing this?

could it be the ETHERNET cable on the actual patch panel?

could it be the drop?

or could it be his NIC card? (even though when I switch ports on the switch he get connection.)

I have as computer 1 a Vista home pro machine connected to wired cisco cable/dsl router switch BEFSR41 V4.3 router connected to cable modem, router connected to computer 2 an old compaq OS windows 98 . I can connect to internet with both machines however the 98 machine is slower. I cannot share files or printers. I downloaded network magic 7day trial version from cisco it does not seem to know that the 98 machine is there. Have been unable to locate a patch at cisco or data for that matter on what operating systems network magic supports.

WHAT GIVES? any one know of software fix. OR KEY PRESS BY KEYPRESS instructions to fix problem remember your not dealing with a computer whiz Networking is fun when it comes to Vista and Win98!

Make sure you have the same IP scheme, for example: 192.168.0.XX, where XX is an unique number per computer.

Ensure you have the same Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS IP addresses.

To find this, right-click on your taskbar network icon (bottom right near the clock), open and select 'Local AREA CONNECTION Status' and then 'Details'. IP address should be the same on all except the last two digits which must be unique. If you think they are wrong, REPLY so we can advice how to fix it.

Attempt to ping between the machines through there IPs.
Start > Run > type 'cmd' (without quotes), enter.
type ping (followed by the IP address or name, for example: 192.168.0.1) and press enter.

Make sure you have the same workgroup name (watch for trailing spaces).

If there are 3rd party firewalls installed, check they allow networking discovery and sharing.

Ensure Win98 has file sharing enabled and is sharing a directory or printer.

Don't use NetBEUI if your trying to connect Win98 through that as Vista doesn't have it.

Thanks will get back to you in a day or two with results.

I am trying to extract "67890" from "param1=12345&param2=67890".

When I USE the following code, I get a blank page.
Code: [SELECT]<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var string1;
var string2;
var string3;
string1 = "param1=12345&param2=67890";
string2 = string1.match(/param2=[0-9]{5}/);
string3 = string2.match(/[0-9]{5}/);
document.write("string1: " + string1 + "<br />string2: " + string2 + "<br />string3: " + string3);
</script>
</body>
</html>

If I comment out "string3 = string2.match(/[0-9]{5}/);" I get the following result:

Code: [Select]string1: param1=12345&param2=67890
string2: param2=67890
string3: undefined

Why does the second match() not work?

EDIT: I am sorry for posting this in Networking. I must have been so distracted by my problem that I clicked on the wrong board. Can someone please move it to Web Design?I THINK I have figured it out.
As I currently UNDERSTAND it, match() returns the result as an array EVEN if there is only one result.
To run another match() on the results of the first match(), I have to define which array entry to use.

Here is my new code.
Code: [Select]<script type="text/javascript">
var string1 = "param1=12345&param2=67890";
var string2 = string1.match(/param2=[0-9]{5}/);
var string3 = string2[0].match(/[0-9]{5}/);
document.write("string1: " + string1 + "<br />string2: " + string2 + "<br />string3: " + string3);
</script>

Here are the results of that code.
Code: [Select]string1: param1=12345&param2=67890
string2: param2=67890
string3: 67890

After learning about the array, I was able to condense my code the the following:
Code: [Select]<script type="text/javascript">
var string1 = "param1=12345&param2=67890";
var string2 = string1.match(/param2=([0-9]{5})/);
document.write("string1: " + string1 + "<br />string2: " + string2[1]);
</script>

I have a desktop and a laptop. Both running Win 7, I had installed a wireless router and connected them both to the NETWORK, this was working FINE ,file sharing and everything worked great, then all of a sudden the computers will no longer connect. I have tried reinstalling the router, ip config release/renew, interesting enough the computers will ping with the Computer name but not with the ip address. Does anyone know whats going on here? How many firewalls do you have? Check your firewall and security options and default settings. You may want to use just one for testing. Check for any firmware version updates for your router/modem.The firewall settings are all the same as when the connection was working, I turned them off anyway just to try but that did not work. And there are no updates to the router's firmware.Wireless Router Brand?
Some Win 7 Connection Tips : http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-7/windows-7-cannot-connect-to-internet/The wireless router brand is D-Link. And I'm sorry I did not clarify that both computers connect to the internet just fine they just won't connect to each other. They SHOW up on the network but when I try to connect I get the error code 0x80070035.
Are you experiencing this code error on both laptop and desktop? On your Win 7 Laptop, were you prompted for Username and Password before you had access? If yes, then try to re-create your password on your laptop. Yes the same error code is coming up for both computers. And there is no longer any prompt for the username and password ...there used to be before the troubles .

PS Thanks for the effort It is appreciated.Quote

Hi all. I would like to know if there is anyway to wirelessly use my new Vizio 42" flatscreen as a monitor so that i can play more poker tables at once. My friend is trying to tell me we can just hook up our EXTRA router to the TV and that would work but i dont THINK so. Please help. The computer is a new Acer Aspire 7540-1284 Laptop. I told him HDMI cable would work but he WONT listen. Thanks for all help and any suggestions would be very appreciated.Only if you add a wireless ADAPTER to the TV,
i,e, http://www.amazon.com/Atlona-AT-HDAIR-Computer-Monitor-Wireless/dp/B002EPQGZW
This is USB, not ethernet, so the router is out.
Use the HDMI cable as you suggested.

When i download stuff no matter were... i usally download at 245 kb to 280 kb and for some reason i been only downloading at 60kb to 75kb and sometimes 40kbs and i dont know why...


I have another pc here and it downloads at 280kbs so i know its just me

any ideas to see why this is HAPPENING

Im stealing internet from next door

I have a 5-computers home network, 4 desktops and 1 LAPTOP. They all run XP, except one with Vista. In addition, there are printers attached locally to 2 desktops through USB. One connected thru ethernet, the other four use WIRELESS. The diagram is as follows (they all have same workgroup):

Computer 1: Desktop, Vista, ethernet
Computer 2: Desktop, XP, Wireless, Brother Printer, Canon 9900 Printer
Computer 3: Desktop XP, Wireless
Computer 4: Desktop XP, Wireless, Canon 9100 PRinter
Computer 5: Laptop, MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.6, XP emulation thru VMWare, Wireless

There are 2 perplexing problems that keep NAGGING me for several years now.

First, I cannot see some desktops from others. For example, all the computers cannot see Computer 4.

Second, Computer 5 in OS X cannot connect to the printers on Computer 2. The VMWare however successfully connects to those 2 printers, so I do have access, thru Windows applications only. It would be nice to connect for the Mac applications also.

I suspect some network configurations were not set up properly on these computers. Does anyone have any SUGGESTION, or a checklist for me to check?

Thank you in advance.

Can anyone help?

My old laptops HD crashed on me for the 2nd time in a year last Sept so I got myself a new one, the old one was running XP the new one runs Vista! Upstairs I have an old dinosaur desktop running Windows 98 with a cable connection to my internet router (and I still use this one more lol)

I can't access anything on my old laptop HD and would like to transfer some programmes I had on there that are also on the one running 98, can I do this with a cable from the old desktop to the new laptop? and can I transfer programs as well as FILES? Any help would be gratefully appreciated... I can't even network through my internet connection as I'd have to make a DISK from the old pc to do it (apparently?) but it doesn't even have a DVDRW just a CD player (thats how old the thing is) but I do need my accounting package desperately on my laptop (and my MS Office package which I have the disk for but the blooming key codes worn off of the case and I can't read it lol)

Also is there any way I can access the HD on old laptop, can't even GET windows screen up it just asks what mode to start in - waits a minute and then re-boots itself

Thanx

KathyYou can't transfer programs, you'll need to install them in the new computer. I suggest you contact Microsoft re: your Office disk. I believe it has a serial # ENGRAVED in tiny characters and Microsoft can give you the key code by getting that serial # from you.

To transfer files, I think your best option is probably an external enclosure to put your old laptop hard drive and then connect it to your new laptop via USB port. Here one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159091 I'm assuming your old laptop hard drive still works. If not, then then won't work.

I have BROADBAND internet. When I looked, there is an additional computer on my network, but it's not mine Any IDEA how it GOT here and how I can get it off my network?Have you enabled WPA security/encryption in your WIRELESS router?Can you get into his computer? What do you SEE?

Hello Everyone,

Great community, thought it may provide "hope" to a SOLUTION to my problem. Dlink customer support doesn't know, i can't find any forums talking about this:

Hardware:
IBM Thinkpad T40 (little dated) - Windows XP SP2 at least
DLink DWA-642 "Rangebooster N Notebook Adapter"
Dlink DIR-628 Wireless Router

Problem:
I disabled my IBM's internal wireless hardware, so only the wireless card is active. I tied using both windows and Dlink's software to "connect to wireless networks". When i scan i can see everyone's SSID's around me but not mine! I have a brand new Dell Inspiron with Vista and that is connect to the network, so i know its broadcasting and active. I updated the firmware on my router, reinstalled the drivers multiple times, and it still sees every network but mine. I am pretty sure that the networks that it sees are not wireless N, so i think it has something to do with that. I don't want to downgrade to G, that is why i bought the Wireless N Notebook card!

I downloaded the update from MS for wireless N enhancements in windows XP, but it said i already had that installed. Is there something in my XP settings that i need to update? Or do you think i need to tweak the router's settings to communicate with the card? They are sold as a package, and the same "rangebooster N" line, should be easy 123.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this-

Access the router setup page. With my D-Link DIR-655, it's http://192.168.0.1, but your's could be different. You probably know how to access it, anyways.




If your pages are SIMILAR to mine, then you want to go

top link "SETUP" left link "WIRELESS SETTINGS"

and then select "manual wireless network setup"

make sure all settings here are PROPER, for example mine is set to mixed 802.11n,g, and b.

barring any options there, you can try removing the wireless driver for BOTH the internal IBM and the rangebooster, and then install only the rangebooster. It could be that the two wireless DEVICES are arguing or something equally ridiculous.

I have a Phaser 560 extended laser printer that i would LIKE to INSTALL as a network printer because I didn't get any of other cables with this printer. I bought the printer off eBay it didn't come with any cables. But it does have a network card built into it. I printed out the configuration page and found out the ip address. I inputted the subnet mask address and the gateway address. I have a Netgear ROUTER and attached an CAT 5 cable with a RJ-45 connector. But I could not change the original ip address My router just sees the mac address. I am very confused by this matter any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a dell INSPIRON E1505 running windows XP. As of about a month ago I have had to reset the wireless zero config EVERY single time I want to connect to the internet. I cannot find any answers to this problem ANYWHERE so any help at all is much appreciated.

i have a big problem regarding this equipment in NETWORKING inside of this surface jack there's a color combination that i would for sure CONNECT to UTP cable wires but can't understand all of them are solid wires .. how can i connect this to UTP cable..

RED
GREEN
BLACK
YELLOW
BROWN
ORANGE

What combination i should do to my UTP cable wires to connect to this surface jack

Some of those wires have to have a small white line. You may have to look really close. Sometimes its a dash or something else.

Here is a little more information....

He was screwing around and hit the reset button. Both Computer 1 (this one - where the router is based), our X-box Live, and Computer 2 (in another room) couldn't connect to the internet. We somehow got Computer 1's internet working again (obviously), but the X-box live and Computer 2 still can't connect to the internet. The router evidently needs to be re-configured or something - a friend of mine of mine came over and had a look at it and said that the problem was the router and the modem aren't communicating with one another. We've called Dell tech support or whatever and they are all a bunch of FOREIGN people with knowledge less than or equal to my own. The router is a Dell 2350. Anyone out there with expertise in this area that can help? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!if i were to take a quick guess...sounds like you were POSSIBLE set up with ENCRYPTION with key inplace, then it reset to default w/o encryption, but your devices are still set for encryption.

first try these steps in order.

1. unplug power to all modem, ROUTERS, computers, and xbox
2. go take a walk, 5 mins is good
3. plug in cable modem...wait 3 minutes...see if you get "internet or WAN led light"
4. plug in router...wait 3 minutes
5. plug in/turn on computers/xbox

Hi,

I have a broadband connection and accessing net by USE of modem for my laptop. I dont have network card in it and WANT to use another laptop in ORDER to ACCESS net through wifi( the 2nd laptop has network card in it). I WANTED to know how can i do so, is there any wifi USB kind of thing instead of going for network card so that i can use the USB in my 1st laptop and to access another for browsing using wifi connection. Please let me know if there is any kind of such USB available in market and the specification for the same.

Thanks a tone.

I am trying to find a network card for an IBM Network Printer 24. On the back of the printer on the label it says machine type 4324. I've tried looking on Google and most of the time it comes up with HP JetDirects. Will HP Jet Direct cards work in an IBM printer? I was asked to look up cards for this printer to see if it would be feasable to start using it again. (This printer was in our warehouse and if it's cost effective, we'd like to start using it again.)

We would like to hook it up using an ethernet cable.

Thanks for any help I can get!Have you tried contacting IBM?

Alan <>< Yes, I sent them an email yesterday after I posted here. I'm waiting for a reply back. I also found a card that I really think will work and I asked IBM about this as well and am waiting for a reply back. Here is the website: http://www.primelec.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/SFV/31734/vpid/3105901/vpcsid/0/rid/124330 I HOPE I hear from IBM soon.Good luck and let US know how it turns out.

Alan <>< IBM said that I had contacted the non-technical CUSTOMER service department through the email and said I needed to call their 800 number to talk to a technical person. I didn't want to do that since I'm sure they would try to sell me something. I kept searching and found a card that says it will work with a network printer 24:

If you go to this link and scroll down a little bit the card is displayed.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. Cant you just hook it up to a single pc then network all of the to it, so that it sends to that then the printer.No, I can't because this printer will be plugged directly into a wall jack. PLUS, it would be hard to have a pc hooked up to the printer that would be powered on all the time. (Incase I didn't state this before, this printer is going to be used in a corporate environment--not at home.) Thanks for the suggestion, though.Ether way, sorry just suggesting it. Quote
