Hi I just bought a samsung BD-C6500 bluray dvd player and I can't get my mbr1000 to connect to it. I called samsung and they told me that it has to be in G and not n. Is there a WAY I can change or have it work as a g router and an n router at the same TIME. The bluray has wireless capabilities and it does detect my mbr and it even passes the ping test that the bluray goes through........sure could use some help on this.............thanks..............tw o-dogs You'll have to check your router configuration to see what combinations it offers.

Alan <>< Thanks ale52 could you tell me where the configurations are located. I have messed with the setup page of my router but don't SEEM to find anything on configurations. I access the router through 192.168.0.1 any help on that.........two-dogs Here is what I did for those of you with mbr1000's .........First changed my n signal to g only then changed from channel 6 to 11 and then you have to go to tools and to user log in and disable Require User Login and that did it..........HOPE this might help someone...........two-dogsGood work two-dogs!

Hey, got a very weird problem...at least i think it is because I cant FIND a similar problem anywhere else. It all started a couple of days ago. My wife needed to sync a new iphone with itunes but had to update itunes first, but she couldnt get on the internet. I wasnt home to troubleshoot so she went to starbucks and downloaded the latest version. She came back home and was on the phone for 2hrs with the local cable company troubleshooting and the tech guy finally determined that there was something (software) on her laptop not allowing her to connect to the internet, the usual easy response i thought. I TRIED the next day to connect, couldnt...so I reset the cable modem and it worked! I synced her phone up for her and left the computer on...came back a couple hrs later and nothing worked; internet, task manager...nothing i tried. I switched users to another profile and the internet did work. I downloaded spyware blaster, windows malicious removal tool, panda cloud 2010 (her antivirus had expired), and malwarebytes. After many many hrs of scans I wasnt even able to get on with any profile on the laptop. Did more scans, cleaned some more, reset my router to default, renamed and secured and was able to get on with secondary profile, but still no dice with my wife's. She showed connected to the local network but it had the limited or no connectivity (yellow triangle with exclamation point). Tried to REPAIR; got error msg could not assign ip address. Ran the winsock xp tool and still dice. Went to administrative tools to check tcp/netbios was on and it was however dhcp server was not started, so i started it and immediately the ip address was assigned, so i figured it was fixed. Nope. Dell Wireless WLAN utility and the windows xp icon on the taskbar are all clear and indicate an excellent connection, but my wife's profile will not access the internet while the one im on right now typing this one up does...I'm at a loss at this point.

Dell Inspiron E1505
Intel CPU
T2050 @1.6GHz
1 GB Ram
XP MEDIA Center Edition Version 2002 SP3

Any help would be awesome! I'm all out of options at this point and need a stiff drink Short of getting all the documents off her profile and setting her up with a new one (probably the smartest and easiest thing to do but that would be admitting defeat!!) I don't know what else to do. Sorry if this a longwinded post, but i'm just triying to be thorough. Please let me know what other info you might need.

Thanks!!
sometimes a profile will become corrupt for whatever reason and although it MAY be possible to fix it, you will still end up cutting your losses and migrating the data and settings over to a new profile...5 hours later. My advice would be to just create a new profile and move on. Don't be too eager to delete the old one though in case she finds something not setup quite right and you need to go back in there to cross check something.Here is the process I take to restore from a corrupted user profile:

Firstly, copy all files (EXCEPT the below) from the profile location (%SystemRoot%\Documents and Settings\) to a seperate temporary folder.

NTUser.dat
NTUser.dat.log
NTUser.ini

Then, delete the 3 above files and have the user log on and off. Then replace the required files from the temporary folder.

The user can then log on and the profile should be restored.

I just got this netbook knockoff from ebay. It is called Wondermedia Prism netbook. I cannot CONNECT to the INTERNET even though WiFi is turned on and I can see the name of my network. But when I click on it I get a "unable to display PAGE---cannot find server or DNS" error message. My ISP didn't know much about it. They said if I can figure out how to get to the TCP/IP settings maybe they could help. Quote from: Vonique on June 09, 2010, 09:46:07 AM

OK I've got a problem. Yesterday i talked to a GEEK squad agent at best buy about a problem with my asus laptop. It keeps randomly losing connection for 5 seconds and connecting again, which is just enough time to disconnect me from online games like WoW. He said I should probably update the drivers. I went to the device manager and right clicked Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN and clicked update drivers. It updated them in a few minutes. Then, however my laptop wouldn't connect at all to the internet. When i ran windows diagnostics, it said that my WIRELESS cabability wasn't turned on. It was. I thought maybe those drivers needed to be updated too, but i can't find the device. Instead i downgraded the WiFi drivers back to what they were, but i still can't connect. It must be something that i did, but does anyone know how to turn the wireless capability on from inside the computer to make sure it isn't the switch. If anyone has a solutions that are a bit complicated, I'd prefer step by step directions. I have windows 7.
if you have another computer in the house try to uninstall the WiFi driver from the Device Manager an don't forget to click DELETE driver... the you go to the other computer then look for what model your laptop is then you look for the WiFi driver for that specific laptop the put in on a USB CARD and install it on your laptop..

Hope i helpedQuote from: john67832 on June 29, 2010, 08:11:51 AM

Yesterday i talked to a geek squad agent at best buy about a problem with my asus laptop.

Every TIME we use the phone the broadband drops out.
The set up is like this
Main Socket> Sky (Double) > Phone + extension cable> filter> dsl > router > ethernet to pc

But when I try to place a filter into the main socket the connection completely goes with or without the phone. How should I have it set up?

Thanks

So I did some testing.
Test 1
The first test was plugging just the filter into the mains socket and then connecting a laptop to the router. The connection was fine. I then plugged the phone/sky into the filter as well and the connection was fine no drops. I did this test with three filters I had and all worked fine.

Test 2
I then connected the filter at the end of my extension that extends the phone socket upstairs. With the other end of the extension plugged into the main socket with phone/sky plugged in. All filters worked fine. But the phone caused the broadband to disconnect and the phone made FUNNY noises.

Test 3
I then rotated all filters, placing one directly into the main socket with phone/sky and an extension extending phone line upstairs with another filter at the end to plug dsl cable in. No internet connection what so ever. Phone fine.

Conclusion
filters seem fine as does the wiring as does router so what is the problem? Test 3 was the way I originally had it set up and it use to WORK fine.

I got TWO more brand new filters and tried them and still the same problems.

was wondering if anybody has any recommendations on a good NETWORKING book. One that explains windows settings, seting up up both wired and wireless, and the whys of the particular settings, etc?

Thanks To what level? Like home networking, or CORPORATE?

Mircosoft do thier own certifications, but I'd only go down that route if your serious about working in IT.

Otherwise, something like a "For DUMMIES" book would probably do. http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK253&q=home+networking+for+dummies&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=Sq_yS4nQF4T80wSj_MyaDQ&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CDoQrQQwAgno no no. nothing for testing. I'm just looking for a good book for a home user to learn more than the scant things I already KNOW. Something maybe mid level. More than Networking for Dummies. : P

In order to save resources I have configured all NIC (Intel various) to use Wake on LAN, when not in use to go to sleep.
This reduces the electric connectivity with the switch. When this happens the switch sends the work station to the VLAN with no service.
Is there a way to use this feature WOL and not have the switch not recognize the work station?Can you provide more detail?What details do you need?
The NICS are various Intel CARDS all with WOL capabilities.
The Switches are all CISCO, the protocol for connectivity is 802.1x
Wake on LAN reduces the bandwidth between the card and the switch
when this happens the switch sees the work station as non-compliant and sends it to a VLAN with no Network capabilities.
I am looking for a way to KEEP WOL and keep the workstation in the VLAn with Network services.I got to ask.....what are you really saving using WOL?

Not mine, but an Acer Aspire LAPTOP RUNNING Vista, with the usual pre-installed Acers long garbage of programs, but is at least wi-fi enabled.
( l myself have a tower case, and no need for wi-fi but l cannot believe how difficult it seems to be to install and in fact how to CHANGE the settings).
It's a French Provider (SFR) and it's called a Neuf Box ( or should that be a Naff Box and l'm being too flippant?).
I know many of you are from the good old US of A, but have a read anyway and you may at least be ABLE to throw up some suggestions, as any will be appreciated.
Now I'm trying to help someone to get their neuf wi-fi to work on the above mentioned computer, which someone was supposed to have set up for them a few months ago.
I'm not too much of a dummy, but don't quote me on that, however this is beyond comprehension at the moment, and l'm a tad reluctant to phone up their tech services
in France as l would like to speak to someone who actually knows what they are talking about! (sorry, bit flippant again there).
This "Neuf" box is connected, a usb cable is connected, and there is an internet connection established. No problems so far.
Now for wi-fi proper, l removed the usb cable and the blue wi-fi light on the box stays on so at least that's something!
Reconnected to the internet and their home page comes up with Neuf's wi-fi gumph so entered friends username, userid, accepted condtions as requested and hit connexion!
Zilch, just said that there was an error in the details entered.
So went into the connections on the pc and for wi-fi, it seems to be set up for using Public Services(?) but does at least to be receiving a wi-fi signal of some description. Under the SSID name, the person who set this up has just put "my wifi". Surely this should have been the SSID shown on the underneath of the Neuf Box, at the very least? Whatever l try, l just can't seem to alter this.
So at the moment we have an internet connection providing the usb cable is plugged in. TAKE this out and there is nothing at all wi-fi wise.
Now l have the original setup disk and am a bit reluctant about using this at the moment (don't want to obliterate everything).
When setting up wi-fi then on a wi-fi enabled pc, and l know all ISP's may be slightly different with their software, are there and settings that l should need to be aware of.
ANY help will be appreciated.
RegardsFrom what I could tell the Neuf box is a fairly standard ADSL modem. Of course, almost everything I found was in French, and I don't speak very much French, and some of the translations I got were kind of so so. But it shouldn't be more difficult to set up that one than in the USA, or in most other countries.

I wouldn't be reluctant to call up their tech support. That's part of the service your friends paying for. You may need a translator to help if your not strong in French.

When I call up tech support in the USA, sometimes I feel like I need a translator to help (and I was born here).

Ok so I have a pretty odd situation:

laptop
--------
user A, admin privs: can print
user B, LIMITED account: can't print (unable to connect to the printer)
user C, admin privs: can print

printer: shared
permissions: user A, user B, user C (print)

pc
---
all users: can print

I think there is an issue with user B.
It can't connect when it tries to print.
It's added to the security of the printer,
but I think the accounts on both machines are not the same (though they have the same name and password).

This shouldn't be an issue anyway because since the printer is shared with other accounts on the laptop,
any user should be able to print through user A, which has access, which has shared the printer.

However, user B can't print..... gah.

What could be going on?
Any ideas?

Thanks



I find it odd there are no answers.Either everyone is on VACATION or there isn't anyone technical enough to SOLVE my problem.Why are people not answering?the more you "bump" your topic the less chance you have of some one answering it cos it will MOVE down the page or worse it would be locked by one of the admins for spam.

Hello, I am trying to HELP a friend who knows nothing about computers. I set her computer up in October and it was WORKING fine. She doesn't know what happened but recently the INTERNET just stopped working (she has an older Sony desktop computer, XP, and basicnet as her internet...which is dial up). When I bring the computer over to my house (i have high speed internet), the internet works fine. But when I try to connect on her dial up it just keeps saying no dial tone. When the line is CONNECTED to her phone, she gets a dial tone and the phone works fine. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a beginner as well! Thanks so much. Your "Default Connection" changes when you move the computer from Dial-up to Network.
Control Panel--Internet Options---Connections
Dial-up and LAN are configured there.It could be a problem with her modem. Try the dial up at your house (remember to UNPLUG your DSL modem first if you use one).

Right, my internet is fully connected to broadband via a wireless CONNECTION to the router. Firefox is my default browser and will only work when in safemode (otherwise it will just crash). In addition to this, Internet Explorer does not work and MSN does not connect, stating that it is not possibe due to me not being connected to the internet which obviously is not the case.

Please please please HELP!!!!!!!!

Btw I am using Microsoft Vista

Thank you for your time and help.How do you know the Internet is WORKING if you can not open a web browser to check?

Can you reinstall FireFox by downloading it from another computer onto a flash drive, and installing it again?

What Antivirus PROGRAM are you running? Are you always booting into SafeMode? (Safemode often will not work properly with WiFi, and even then it is not suitable to run your computer in Safemode all the time).
Can you plug directly into the router? Assuming you mean safemode in firefox and not safemode in windows then one of your plugins / addons is unstable with your version of firefox. That's why when you enter safemode in firefox, which disables addons and such, firefox works. So use safemode and when you open firefox remove your addons or make sure they are disabled. It will be a pain if you have dozens of addons but that's how it goes. Then eventually you will be able to open up firefox "normally". It's probably the same thing with IE. As far as MSN I don't use it so I can't comment on it.

I have been having a problem of my wireless internet going out for no apparent REASON for about 3 months off and on. I wiped my hard drive, reloaded everything and it worked fine for a COUPLE of days. I wiped the hd again, reloaded, everything worked fine for about 2 weeks and couldnt connect again.
Thinking this was a virus i signed on for virus malware antispyware bootcamp with Superdave and we ran all the scans coming up with nothing. I did a forum search for the problem and found a bunch of IP and winsock DOS commands from Broni which I did with no results. I also tried using winsock fix with no results. Is there anything else that may work?Quote from: Amats on May 20, 2010, 05:04:38 PM

...Wireless Adapter-Linksys wusb54g wireless G...

Which hardware version & which driver are you using?

If you cannot connect to your wireless router then that's because either:
1 your main computer isn't turned on.
2 You have not enabled
3 You must of unistalled and wireless program of your hard drive.
4 or it may be just you signal or dongle.

on bit comet
Im new to PEER to peer and i think i need to ublock this router below for a faster download or upload

this blocked by my firewall. How can

Listen Port of TCP:65534 (Blocked by Firewall/Router)FIRSTLY what firewall are you running? e.g. Windows Firewall on Windows 7 ...
What router do you have? e.g Netgear DG834G

Generally speaking the FIRST time you run a program such as bitcomet after installing it your firewall software will pop up asking if you want to allow it access to thee internet, and so long as you click yes the ports that are needed get allowed through the firewall on your PC and directed to the program.

Depending on who you are with for the internet, i.e. who is your ISP (BT, Talktalk), the ISP may themselves block traffic on ports known for peer2peer or other filesharing.

Very rarely do you have to add ports to the firewall in the router because;

Most routers are set that once a program runs such as Bitcomet
The program makes external internet activity on the need ports such as the LISTENING port '65534' the router allows this out and in turn directs traffic that comes back on that port back to the originating PC or laptop.

Either WAY give us a few more details and we should be able to help.

Hi was wondering can I get some help. If my computer is connected to the internet and then I connect my Wii the whole connection goes. I also tried to go to my routers settings by putting in IP address of ROUTER but I just keep getting page cannot be displayed.

Thanks for your help.

Most D-Links use this: http://192.168.0.1/
I know the link mate jsut keep getting nothing. Does it work wireless?

How would I GO about connecting a Pannaway modem(?) to a Linksys E1000 wireless-N Router. We call the INTERNET provider and they gave USE some instructions on how to GET the two things to be able to talk to each other but the instructions are about 4 - 6 YEARS outdated. Any ideas?

I run a WinXP laptop, up-do-date (software/drivers etc).

I'm connected to a linksys wireless router. Generally it works ok.
But, every 10-15 minutes the connection dies --- I can't connect to the internet, even though the laptop is still connected to the wireless router (signal is strong). I go to the wireless network connections and it shows i am connected with a very strong signal (still no internet).
When I disconnect and try to reconnect, i get the "waiting for the network..." message forever, and it does not connect.
I have to unplug the router to reset it, then it works again, but only for a while until this problem repeats.

I have no idea what the problem is or what is causing it. What MODEL Linksys router? How old is it?oops, i was confused.
it's a NETGEAR WGT624, about 4 years old.I should have also asked, when did this all start to happen? Had any changes been made to the COMPUTER or the network? (A Windows update, etc.?)Quote

NET GEAR WGT624

Many things change in just four years.
You can either upgrade the firmware.
http://www.wardrive.net/firmware/netgear
- OR -
Just buy a new router. A Links wireless now goes for near $30 and performs about the same as what you got. Just Google 'Cheap Wireless Routers'
(Net-gear is still kind of pricey.)

Now my wild guess.
My best guess is the power supply is overheating. Try to keep it cool and see if it runs longer. Put an ice cube on it. The power supply, not the router.

Now my wild guess.
My best guess is the power supply is overheating. Try to keep it cool and see if it runs longer. Put an ice cube on it. The power supply, not the router.

What happens when you bypass the router and connect directly to the modem - does everything work okay?

And as mentioned above, ignore the suggestion to put ice on ANYTHING electronic.

hi guys

i have DSL Modem ZXDSL 831II i was wondering if i can restrict some web site from my Dsl modem setting

i shared dsl with 3 users they always download movies from torrent websites
just wanted to restrict some of them

can i ?

I have a desktop and a LAPTOP. I want to create a NETWORK between these two.I have done all posible effort.Windows 7 is the operating system installled on both.When I'am creating a home group "It says password is incorrect" even password is copy paste. Then I changed advance shareing options. No solution. Firewall status,

importantI'am the only one who is using this pc so I'am the admin and have full rights.


Some how I was able to access the other network (pc) but when I try to access shared partition (D) there comes a message saying

Windows can not access Coolmalia-pc\d

you do not hhave permission to access Coolmalia-pc\d with contact your administrator to request access.So for starters, both have windows 7? Since your talking about setting up a home group for both i assume this to be true. Have you SET up sharing on both computers? It requires some minor tweaking to set up a home group. You need to specify when folders you WOULD like placed in the home group. Question, are the user accounts on each computer the same? if not try this (refer to SCREEN shot) Try setting it to manage the user accounts individually for the connection to the computer home group

i don't know why this happens, but my home WIRELESS sometimes becomes a local network and not local and internet, so i have to restart my wireless in order to get the internet again, however, this renders others systems that use the wireless WITHOUT internet connection. any help with this?Quote from: PlasmaticJj on May 30, 2010, 07:28:56 AM

My PC RUNNING Vista PERIODICALLY (at least once a day when idle) loses the internet connection. There is a cable modem and a Linksys router. The Windows IE connection diagnostic TOOL says a layered SERVICE PROVIDER LSP is not working properly. The only fix is to restart the computer. I have no idea what a LSP is and is there any fix other than the restart. Thanks.

I am having a devil of a time getting connected wirelessly. I was working fine and then reinstalled Windows XP service pack 2 and now cannot connect wirelessly.

I continue to get the message "Acquiring network address " and the IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK and DHCP all show 0.0.0.0.'

I have tried many thinks and today went to Best Buy Geek Squad. He did a command prompt and said he rest my Wireless stuff and it connected at the store, but back home same old :Acquiring network address " story. He said if I had a problem at home I should put in the Command Prompt,": NETSC WINSOCK RESET. I have 2 issues. What is the correct way to enter this prompt? DO I put in spaces as he wrote it or does it all run TOGETHER no spaces. I tried entering as follows, " NETSC WINSOCK RESET and it comes back and says " "NETSC is not recognized as an internal or external command" Should I be putting it as NETSC/WINSOCK/RESET ?? Sorry but I am not a computer PERSON so I would try the Ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
before you try the NETSC, that might fix the problem you are having.
(GeekSquad peeps are not very good at their job but i digrest)

It also might be with your router. DCHP might not be enabled (by default it should), but just double check it.
As for the command you DO put in the spaces when you run it but if it comes back with that error then that command is not installed. This link might help you out, PM me if you dont understand it...

I am running Win xp SP2. USING Firefox and IE as necessary. I am able to access most all sites on line but two sites will not load. I get a "Server not found" error. I have tried the site "Is it just me and it is just my system. It also happens on my other system when connected through my wireless router to laptop. It seems like maybe it is an ISP problem but they say it is not. I also tried to check and change MTU setting but have at this point not made any changes. I was going to set at something below 1500. The sites I can not access are bid-auctions.net and global2025.com should you want to ry from your SIDE. I have ask friends in other states and areas to check and was told they load fine. I have tried in firefox and IE. Not sure where to go from here.If you have no trouble accessing other websites, I believe the problem is more likely with the website than your computer or internet connection. Neither of those two sites works right for me, either. WEB of Trust has no info on either of those sites. I would avoid them. you are correct-thanks

My on board ethernet connection failed and in device status it said windows could not load the driver for this device. Driver is messing or corrupt. (code 39) So I purchase a new pci adapter and when I tried to INSTALL it I get the same message in device status for the new adapter. I have RUN
sfc /SCANNOW and have now problems show up there. I ran Malwarebytes and got rid of some bad files but none of this seems to help. I tried removing and reinstalling the pci adapter and the driver but no help. Anyone know what is going on here? Thanks Russ61ncyow! try to look for the latest drivers of pci adapter..
Did this just start? If so, what HAPPENED just before the problem arose (new hw, sw, virus, error, format, etc)?

My wife just got a lap top computer and it is hooked up to our router wireless. The router is a Belkin. Every thing is working fine. The question is, is this safe. Can any one GET into our network through our router? We have no sharing between computers or printers. If this isn't safe, how do we make it safe. Most of the stuff on our computers is pictures and things I don't care if any one sees. But we do order stuff over the net and use card numbers. That could be bad if some got them. Thanks for your help.It is nowhere near as safe as just using a hard line. If someone taps into a hardline you might notice him sitting at your kitchen table. That being said there are many ways to make it safer. You could make sure that you are using WPA2 instead of WEP, use a strong key for access. Make sure that you monitor your routing tables and log files for the router.

The most important thing though is to have excellent anti-spyware and anti-virus updated and continuously running on your computer.

Although it is possible that someone may be outside your house with a van full of gear trying to intercept your wireless signals, it is more likely that compromise will occur through an invited threat. We have a whole section that deals with virus and spyware as a testament to that.Thanks for the information. I don't know what WPA2 or WEP is or what one I have. How do I find that out? When you are talking about a key I assume that you are talking about the log in password that we don't use. There is only the wife and I at home and we don't use the other ones computer so we never set up passwords to log in to our computers. My lap top had a password log in because it was used at work. I have no idea how to monitor the router log files or tables so any information you can help me with would be great.Not having passwords on your computer is not a good practice. Somewhere I read that having passwords to your user accounts does increase, some what, your security level when you are connected to the Internet.Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 27, 2010, 09:47:15 AM

your security level when you are connected to the Internet

go to user account in windows vista/7 and create a new account. create a limited account and use it for your daily activities (you may find the uac prompt annoying sometimes) when you trying to do something taht requires admin level permissions. use a password on both account (admin and limited). enable WPA2 on your wireless router, you can do that by entering your ip address in your web browser and it will take you to a page on your (ISP) internet service providers site, from there you can change diffrent settings like your password and more.
its very easy to get your ip address, take a look on the bottom of your post>>>>>tada

Let me see if I understand this. I will have to use a log in name when I start the computer then log in to the network to get on to the net?

You understand what I am saying?

For the first time any of the computers log on to the net through internet explorer they will have to log in with the key or pass word then click the little box and the next time we will just have to hit internet explorer and get to the net? Is that about it?

On the windows 7 computer ( her new lap top) she will not have to create a second account. On the two that are hard wired they will have to add an account for each and add pass words for all accounts?

Sounds great to me. I will get back to you in five hours or so. I need to go cut grass any way. We have had rain for the past three days and the grass has really taken off.

That is great. I will check back later to see if you have any information for me. Thanks much for what you have all ready dun for me.

Is it because I added a computer? Will WPA2 only take care of one wireless computer?

I know this is a likely tiring question for y'all. I see many variations on it, but I'm stumped.

I had a D-Link router which was being used openly. All worked fine, but it was 5-6 yrs old and the ports etc were falling apart from much plugging in/out by teenagers.

I bought a TrendNet TEW-432BRP and everything geared up fine on my PC. I decided to set security on it as WPA2, had some trouble navigating settings on my laptop but eventually figured it out and was connected fine - which what I normally do [google google google]. Then tried to ENSURE my daughter's was connecting and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't.

After many hours, I eventually figured I'd go back to leaving it unsecured just to test whether she could connect, so reset EVERYTHING ... router, laptops etc. PC and my laptop were again working and connecting fine, but no matter what I do I cannot get hers to connect.

It says it's connected but there is no access to the internet. I tried to find a solution but to no avail. I'm not sure what other info you need - just let me know. Thanks in advance THATS exacly the same propbel i'm having, well, extrimaly simmilar anywar, have you tryed unplugging your ruter and then turning it back oon?Does your daughters wifi adapter support WPA2? That might explain why it will let you connect when the encryption is turned off, but not allow you when WPA2 is turned on.Not sure if it does or not, but it doesn't let her laptop connect either way. This is my series of events...lol...

1. Had D-Link [unsecured] - Home PC, my laptop, and daughter's laptop worked fine.

2. Switched to a TRENDnet TEW 432BRP - Initially tried to secure it, but daughter's laptop wouldn't connect. My laptop was in repair at that time so i couldn't take the time to fool with it because she needed hers to go to school. Got mine out of repair [it was just my power cord] and proceeded to sit down with everything while she was at school. Home PC and my laptop worked fine unsecured, and so I moved on to try to secure it. Again, Home PC and my laptop worked fine with both WPA and WPA2.

3. Daughter comes home from school, and I [feeling like an absolute computer guru....lol] figure I can just replicate what I did with my own laptop to get hers online. I failed. And so I reset the router, BEGAN from scratch, and started with an unsecured TRENDnet.

4. Again, my Home PC and my laptop were connecting fine to the internet on the unsecured network. But hers would not.

5. I performed and rebooted afterwards:

Reset WINSOCK ENTRIES to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log


6. I removed all networks from her "Wireless Networks" list and began afresh. Still no internet.

It says it's "connected" but where my *online* laptop [which I'm using now] has the icon with the two monitors and a little globe [by the clock] - hers only has the two monitors with no globe. And no access to the internet.

Any ideas?Does setting a static IP have the same results? When connected to the router can you ping websites from her laptop? Are you able to ping the other machines connected to the router? Oy... two of those questions are out of my league.

I cannot ping websites - it says Cannot Find Host
No idea how to set a static IP or what it means to do so.
Don't know how to ping other machines.

Could you explain how To set a static IP, open up the Control Panel, navigate to Network Connections, right-click the wireless adapter that is connecting to your router, and select Properties. After that, a dialog WINDOW will open. Under the "General" tab, there will be a small list of options. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. In this dialog window you will enter the static IP for that machine, the default gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers that you wish to you. If you do not know this info, you can find it under this next piece.

To find the IP addresses of the other machines so that you can ping them. Open up the command prompt (WinKey+R then type in 'cmd'), and type 'ipconfig /all'. This will show the IP settings for all adapters on the computer. Here you will find the IP address of the current machine, so that you may ping it, the default gateway, subnet mask, and DNS servers that it is using. This info may be used in the previous step in setting up a static IP address.

Keep up posted with your progress and/or questions.

How di I connect wirelessly to my W-7 network using an XP computer?If your computers are running different versions of a Microsoft OS here is the tutorial for you:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows.

MAKE sure to CHECK your software and driver UPDATES on the Windows 7- some of the old ROUTERS haven't been updated and may need to be replaced.

The can thing will not work for running down the road at 70MPH. It would last about FIVE minutes.

WiFi is not a long range communication protocol. You cannot remain connected to your router as you roam the countryside, If that's what you have in mind.

I'm not sure what internal pointer they are talking about?
Is this pointer the symbols, brackets, etc.. that I see typed onto the page?
Here is what I'm talking about,

$fruits = array('APPLE', 'banana', 'cranberry');
echo end($fruits); // cranberry

?>

Yes, I know what an Array is.
That is not the problem. I also know what first and last means too. I've taken all the classes on calculus, Computers Concepts and Applications.
So, yes, Cranberry is the last item. So, yes, as you can see, I understand that.
apple is the first one, banana is the 2nd item.



I set the DVD/VCR to start recording and stop at a certain time all the time.
So, I know how to calculate things. Since I have to do that in order to have it stop about 7 minutes sometimes past when the show is due to end, in case of other things with the clock that maybe off a bit.




Also, sorry if I sound like I'm confused. I'm sick anyways all the time and just had Hepatitis A, and still dealing with affects from that which affects my memory and stress makes things worse too. I'm TRYING to get all the basic information about things in life all written down, so that in case I go into problems again where I don't even know how to spell my own name, I can look back at information for things.
So, yes, I've already learned all these topics years ago is what I'm trying to say, and got A's in the classes too. Which is why going out to take a class or something, which I can't physically do any of that due to my health being worse.

So what's the question?

The internal pointer is the item in the array which is currently being used.
See here: http://www.talkphp.com/vbarticles.php?do=article&articleid=41&title=using-the-internal-array-pointers-to-access-elements-in-arraysYes, so is the double slashes //
is that the internal pointer? Since Cranberry is typed there? Since it is being used.
Or is the internal pointer any of the quotes around the word Cranberry in the Array list above?
Or is it the parenthesees?
It's the item in the array. In your example the pointer is at cranberry.You can't see the internal pointer.

as you said, you understand what an array is. good.

so you have the array of strings in $fruits:

Code: [Select]$fruits = array('apple', 'banana', 'cranberry');

the Internal "pointer" is basically part of the array. you can't see it- you don't define it when you create the array- by default it "points" to the first element.

Various array functions change the "current" element being pointed at in the array. For example, the end() function you use:


Code: [Select]$fruits = array('apple', 'banana', 'cranberry');
echo end($fruits);

as you NOTE in the comment, it will give back "cranberry" since that is at the end of the array.

however, it also sets the "current" element (the internal pointer) to point at the last element of the array. if you tried to use the next() function on the fruits array, you wouldn't get anything in return:

Code: [Select]$fruits = array('apple', 'banana', 'cranberry');
echo end($fruits);
echo next($fruits);
would only echo "cranberry"; the second "next" function returns nothing- since the next() function returns the next item, and the internal pointer is at the end of the array already, there is no next item.

Too bad I can't see the Internal pointer
I was hoping maybe I found something that might help to figure out what the guy who messed up all my files and stuff did.

Since the index file is suppose to be the default.

The 1st that happens by default.

See, I know he renamed the files

He was trying to help me back things up. Which the other thing is I keep trying to ask him, if renaming the files is what is suppose to happen, why did it work just fine for me when I backed things up without renaming the files. I can't get him to answer this question.

So, maybe we are already at the end of somewhere, and it can't get to the next item, since there is no next item. Unless since the index file is the 1st one and if it's been erased, then the 1st item is not there, so the next item can't work right and it's messing things up because of this. Since that 1st item needs to be there for things to execute/work properly.

What you posted was a segment of PHP code. it has absolutely 0 to do with anything that anybody would have done on your PC at any point in time.

I'll take your word for that I suppose. although I'm not sure when rules about PHP arrays became applicable to files.
right (?)

you do? did you watch him rename the files or do you have psychic powers, or what made you "know" this?

the end of somewhere? next item? index file? you asked about PHP arrays because you gave a segment of PHP. that has absolutely nothing to do with files or indexes or your local machine whatsoever, and certainly it has zero relevance to what you claim to be a vigilante "repairman" going around renaming peoples files.

how to view other computers on my network?To get a list of their names?

To do that on Windows open command prompt and type in Code: [Select]net view and press enter.or get advanced port scanner.
Then install it and hit SCAN..........this will tell you the ip(possibly the Comp NAME depending if they set one) and is really nice if you wanna kick someone of your Network via Router/firewall rules.
Or you can use arp -a which is IP based also with mac address. Its a little better that APS but APS SCANS all ports in a given IP RANGE or specific IP

What is the difference between IP that we get from sites like http://www.whatismyip.com/ and IP we write in
internet protocol ( tcp/ip ) propertiesThat site tells your modem's IP address.

The IP you put in your computer's settings is the IP your computer will use to connect to your modem or router.

All devices connected to your modem/router use the same modem IP for their external IP. Then when stuff gets sent to the modem/router the router sends it back to the internal IP of the computer that needs that info.whatismyip.com gives you the outside IP as seen from www. The other is the IP address is the inside IP of your computer as it pertains to the DHCP scheme of your router.what will be the subnet of the outside ip ??

Yesterday my Dell Vostro 1000 suddenly cut off from my home wireless connection completely. I went into the list of wireless connections and the connection I was TRYING to connect to kept disappearing and reappearing on the list. When it was there, the signal strength was very good (at least 4 bars), but when I TRIED to connect to it, it just wouldn't and just brought up the 'diagnose' (which was SOD all use) and 'connect to another network' options.

Its been a while since I had problems with the connection and the last time its been the provider. I've checked the connection on our other COMPUTER and that works no problem so it can't be the adapter. Would appreciateany help on this problem. Thanks a lot in advance!

My ISP is Bell South (ATT). I recently up-graded my DSL connection to U-Verse, having been assured that this would improve my Internet download speed. It didn't; I was getting about 5Mbs before the change, and after it. (The speed was checked with ) Since my cost didn't increase, I stayed with the up-grade. Recently I have seen the speed decrease until it was only 2Mbs.

My OS is Win2K, I am connected to the internet through a 2-wire router, which has a built-in firewall. My computer also had a firewall (ZoneAlarm) and an anti-virus program (Avast).I contacted U-Verse support about my problem, and, after the usual run-around, was told that the reason for the slow speed was a conflict between the router's firewall, and my installed programs. I disabled my programs, and the speed increased to about 10.5Mbs.

I am concerned about no longer being able to use my anti-virus program. I can't get enough info from BellSouth about their program to quiet my fears. They say they no longer support Win2k, and ca't PROVIDE any info on what I can do.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what Anti-Virus program might work with the SETUP I have?I'd rather blame ZA, than Avast for your issue.

ZA is known for causing issues sometimes, so I'd leave it off of your computer.
Your router provides you with hardware firewall, so you should be OK in that department.
It's surely not good to be without any AV program.
Avast is rather light AV program, so I'm not sure why it's causing issues.

Hey guys, I was wondering why some of my wireless computers cannot connect to the internet.
I recently got back my laptop and SET the wireless then about 3 of my computers stopped connecting to the internet. I think my problem is that I have too many things connected to the router? I have about 6 computers needed to be connected to the internet, a PS3, an ipod, and maybe other stuff. Is it because I have too many connections to my router?
I have a Linksys E2000 router.

If that isn't the reason can you guys help me with this? Thanks.Start by resetting the router (unplug it and then reconnect the power, allowing it to reassign ip addresses)Well that's not normal...

At one stage I had:

2x iPod
3x Laptop
1x Desktop (with PCI Wireless card)
1x Desktop (on Ethernet)
and
1x Wii

ALL working fine.

So what I'd suggest, reset your router (unplug and wait for 10-20 seconds, Plug back in) if that doesn't work I might recommend that you try completely removing the network and making a new SSID (refer to user manual to do this) then entering the new password for each COMPONENT that needs to be connected to the internet.

Hopefully I have solved your issue.
Don't hesitate to ask me for any other required information.

Hi,

Looking for some ADVICE on SETTING up a true VPN type service from my home network, so I can VPN in from other locations and have access to all the assets on my home network.

I currently just have a Linksys router and the setting to allow one IP address to be in the DMZ SEEMS rather insecure to me. I've also not had any EXPERIENCE with tools like DynDNS but was thinking that may be a way to at least get a resolvable UNC without setting up a full server open to the internet. Given that I'm running over Comcast Broadband, Not SURE if I could even do that since the IP address is dynamically assigned via DHCP every time my router needs to be rebooted...

Any advice from folks that have done this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much..

I'm pretty sure I've got a doozie for you guys.

I believe I have packet problems at the client level, but you guys might have better experience than I do at such things. Here are my symptoms.

ALL errors are intermittent

websites timeout or don't load.
Websites come in as "garbled" random characters that don't appear to have any rhyme or rhythm.
Videos sometimes stop mid-stream, even though the rest of the video appears to be loading.
Sometimes half a picture will load, the rest looks like colored static.

I ORGINALLY chalked all of this up to a poor internet connection between me and my ISP. (I'm in a 3rd world country and I'm pretty sure I'm running a satelite link, but I don't have visibility on the connection anywhere past the router).


It got REALLY interesting when I noticed the garbled picture and intermittent webpage loading error happened on the title bar of my D-link router's settings page. So the packets were going from the router to my machine, and (hopefully) had nothing to do with my ISP!

That should put the error at the client level, but I'm not sure how that could be. This is an out-of-the-box Toshiba Satelite laptop!


I'm a fairly adepet computer users, studying for my Security+ exam as soon as I get back state-side, so feel free to ask away guys, I'm rather excited to troubleshoot this beast myself!Remember packets r encapsulated frames. If u use the OSI model as a guide it will help to trouble shoot. My guess it is happening at the Network (layer 3) or Transport (layer 4) layers.

BTW u can try to ping the address of the site u r trying to download from and see the check the time of response. And just one very long sho,t to grasp at straw check your memory with a memory test SW.It turns out, it's not a network problem at all, it just looks like one.

I tried the computer on a different network (using different satelites) with a different network card (went for the LAN instead of the WLAN) and it still happened. The best guess I've got right now is that all of this EXTRA crap on the new computer is conflicting. I'm turning off all virus scanners and the firewall for a while to see if that's the issue.


I'm also trying to get my hands on a seperate laptop to see if it's a symptom of 3rd world internet as a whole...just in case.


Any OTHER thoughts, now that we know it's a client level issue.

(Feel free to move this thread to ANOTHER forum, I didn't INTEND to misplace it )

-JonStart your PC with a Linux CD. See how it performs.hah! That was one of the first things I bought the machine .

Unfortunatley there's some hardware compatability issues that are completely unrelated. UBUNTU and Toshiba Satelites don't appear to play well together....*bump*
nobody?

Linux is not an option at the moment, as the hardware in the Toshiba A505D doesn't work with it I can't get past boot. But that's a different issue....

Any other suggestions?
You said you live in a 3rd world country.
I know what that means.
You may wish to use an isolation transformer and an EMF device for all computer equipment. The noises level on the AC mains is very bad in the 3rd world. And some Laptop power supplies have issues when there is a poor electrical ground. The laptop supply itself can induce noise into telephone and Ethernet wires.

This is not an endorsement. It is for information only.

lol good guess (I've got a mess of Apple machines that got fried due to generator malfuncion and poor grounding the other day)

This issue happens regardless of the power supply grid I'm on, or if I'm soely on battery, or using a WLAN or LAN at a completely different location.

I WISH it were as easy as grounding...


heh, lost an x-box that way too....When generators start up they put out tons of electrical garbage. That's why almost all standby generators that use an automatic transfer switch won't actually make the transfer for a minute or two. They allow a little time to let the generator settle down.These are things I wish my Iraqi electricians new before they installed them .

Still, none of that fixes intermittent problems on my toshiba laptop.

I'm working under the strong belief that whatever the problem is, it's in the laptop, effects both WLAN and LAN, isn't browser dependant, and *NEW* happens regardless of the user...


Also, the error happens when I retrieve files from inside a LAN.
I've ran a RAM memory checker, the RAM is fine.

Something about this machine just REALLY hates talking to the outside world....


Would it matter that it's a 64 bit system?

I've tried a memory check, that didn't do it.
I'm working on 1) using a basic registry cleaner....just in case?
2) Booting the system in safe-mode with networking...see if tha tclears it up. It's *censored* hard to tell when the problem is intermittent......Quote

I need to know how to launch my personal website from my home PC through my DSL Internet.

I know that DSL have dynamic IPs, but i want to learn the procedure only.

I have my website name purchased.You do it... through research:
http://www.google.com/search?q=running+a+website+from+a+home+pc

There are a ton of resources and EXPLANATIONS out there if you put in a little effort.Will your PC be online 24/7?You may already have free web space waiting.
Ask your local Inherent provider if that have a personal page for you.
Your registrar, the company that sold you a domain, may have AONE page site for your personal use.
Other wise, it is a real pain to get the domain to use your personal computer as the web site location.

Yes, you can learn more about this if ypui just do some research. Or read a book.

If your want a website for self expression and social statements, forget about the technology. There are already are many places that will let you have a social page somewhere on the web. Like http://Facebook.com is popular.

If you want a cool looking blog site go to http://woredpress.org and get a free site. But you will have to read a book to help you understand how it works.

Find the book at http://barnesandnoble.com

Post Script.
But if you really want to know the direct answer to your question it will take a rather long lecture to explain how to host from your PC.i use WORDPRESS , they very good and helpful on the forumQuote from: Geek-9pm on June 04, 2010, 03:30:56 PM

Geek to Live: How to set up a personal home web server
by Gina Trapani
Last updated: September 2006

A web server is software that continuously runs on a computer and allows other computers to download documents from it. This text that you're READING right travelled over a network connection from Lifehacker's hosting web server to your browser. Web servers are usually loud, scary, headless machines in cold windowless rooms, but you can run one under your desk at home.

Why would you want to run a home web server? Maybe you want to download files on your home computer from anywhere. Like, say, your digital music collection. In this how-to, we'll set up a home web server that lets anyone (with the right password!) connect to your computer and download your MP3's from it, for a nice way to share your music collection with friends, or play a song from your home machine at the office for co-workers.

Hi,

We currently have an internet connection of 6mb down and 1mb up. The connection is a shared line with other buildings in our road.

We are looking to replace our internet as the connection speed often drops and our isp has to RESET it which is really annoying because our business relies a LOT on uploading and downloading.

We have looked around and found that for roughly the same price we can get a 2MB down and 2mb up connection with a different isp. This connection is not shared.

We were just wondering that if we WENT for this new connection, would the speeds be greater, the same or worse than a shared line of 6mb down 1mb up?

By the way, we are a UK business LOCATED in Thailand, that's why the connection speeds are quite low. It's still a bit behind the times here

Looking forward to receiving your help.

Thanks


Before you make a change, do several speed tests, and see what your average speed really is.

With the other ISP it will never be faster than 2 Mbs. Even though your current connection slows down sometimes you need to see if it drops below 2 Mbs.Quote from: keiththai on June 25, 2010, 02:22:45 AM

I am looking for a better router than I have. I have a Belkin. The antenna can't be changed to an out side one. Besides being able to hook up a out side antenna what do I need to look for in a good router?Home, small office, medium office, ENTERPRISE?

Essentially, more information is required.

Give us the "6 W's" (who, what, when, where, why & how).

Such as, but not limited to:

Machine wise, what will connect to this router?
What operating systems?
What wifi standards 802.11a/b/g/n?
What is the lowest common demoninator of the wifi connection (remember Nintendo DS lites can only use WEP (the DSI range can handle WAP *I think*))?
What is the radius you require for your wifi?
What is the infrastructure around the planned network like (thick walls, multiple floors)?Four computers will connected to this router two will be hard wired and two will be wireless. One lap top and the other three are desk tops. The lap top has Windows 7, two desk tops have Windows Vista, and the last one has Linux Mint. The wireless card in the one desk top is a Belkin G It is one of the two that has Vista. It is my understanding that I can use a N router and it will pick up the G card or is that wrong? The only things hooked to the router will be computers. The trailer that I am trying to get a better connection to is about 140' away from the router. I have just put an out side antenna on the trailer to help pick up a signal. It works fine. I moved the router two feet to a window and went from 2 bars to 3 bars. Three bars lets me connect to the net. So it seems to me I need a better router. I was going to replace the antenna of the router that I have, a Belken, it will not come off. So I will have to replace the router with a better one. What do I need to look for? Oh, the house is wood, 1.5" of insulationboard and drywall. The siding on the house is vinyl. Line of site from trailer to router is clear.Quote from: I Shooter on June 04, 2010, 03:16:52 PM

1) a N router and it will pick up the G card

2) connection to is about 140' away from the router

3) I moved the router two feet to a window and went from 2 bars to 3 bars.

4) Three bars lets me connect to the net.

5) So it seems to me I need a better router.
