I recently purchased the usb720 broadband modem from verizon wireless. oddly enough, it connects to the internet and allows me to surf the internet fine, and isn't the least BIT slow. However, when I try to download certain programs to my laptop like AIM, or try to connect to online games like WoW, it says I do not have a internet connection. I called the Technical support at Verizon, but to put it bluntly they were completely useless and didn't understand what the problem was at all. Anyone out there who might know how to REMEDY this problem? Thanks.Are there any DLoad manager programs installed on this machine ? ?

no, and i haven't had any problems with viruses at all.Awfully strange...which BROWSER ? ?

Any firewall apps installed ? ?i believe it is ie 6, for some reason ie7 doesn't work. But I've tried setting exceptions and even turning off the firewall.What internet security software are you using (if any)?norton internet security came with the computerI have known NIS to cause this kind of problem in certain circumstances (particularly with websites that use javascript).

I would recommend ditching NIS in favour of AVG Antivirus, ZoneAlarm or Comodo personal firewall and Spybot Search and Destroy (all are FREE).indeed norton was the cause...thanks again for all your help.No problem. Thanks for reporting back.

Whenever I try to connect to gmail.com I get the "The Page Cannot be displayed" error from IE or the "Unable to Connect" error from Firefox, but seeing as how I'm posting in this forum the internet appears to be working fine.

I looked through a web proxy, and I could see the site fine, but I couldn't log into my email probably because the proxy didn't support secure CONNECTIONS or something.

I'm wondering if a virus is blocking my access to the site or something.

I'm not REALLY sure if the subject was right, but this is the scenario.

I have a router and my bandwidth has been recently slow lately, and i first called service

provider to find out whats going on. They told me that somebody's usin p2p thats

bottlenecking my connection. I found out that the culprit was my adopted brother and i told

to stop it, but because he SPENDS 24/7 watching korean dramas and citcoms, he won't

stop, not only that, he's stupid enough to run two p2p programs, edonkey and limewire or even more, He's an idiot.

So is there a way to use my router to limit his connection only? so that the other

computers in the familiy can have a decent connection.

This is how serious it is, I ping google, and get 15-20s with his connection turned off.
With his connection turnned on i get like 800s

So is there a way that i can limit his connection?What router do you use? If it is a cheap one... I don't THINK you have any chance to limit his throughput. But you can SEARCH for QoS or prioritization in the router menu.Just block the P2P ports on your router. Problem solved.

Hi All
I've changed my internet supplier and purchased their modem speedtouch 330 (doing this is because they say I have to use their one if I need any tech support if any problems occur).But I still have my own speedtouch modem USB installed.My question is do I have to uninstall my one first before I install their one with the cd supplied.If so how do I do this,'cause Im not too sure :-?
Hope someone can advice

Thank you
CazzieIt should not be necessary to uninstall your USB modem, but I would definitely unplug it from the PC.Thanks for your reply
Got a bit of a dilemma now. :-?Last night I unplugged my modem and installed talktalks modem with their connect and go cd everything installed PROPERLY through the usb lead and two filters(which I've been using for two years with my other modem with no problems whatsovever).On line last night and today everything fine then all of a sudden my line kept on dropping(just like marsbar on another thread I have just read)message stating no dial tone?On contacting talktalk tech support I couldn't believe what he told me.Even though all installed properly he said it wasn't and to move my computer to my main BT box and install the modem again from there with the usb lead only. Is this information correct please advice :-/That's just a standard reply - he's reading from a script. Tey'll need to go through this process to determine where your connection problem lies. The first thing he's trying to check is the quality of your telephone cabling. Humour him and try and connect from your BT master socket- that's usually the one where the phone line comes into your house, and it will normally have an embossed BT logo.Hi
nearly a month later and i am still having problem with line dropping,sometimes cannot GET connected at all(especially in the evening)Done all that talktalk tech.support adviced...reinstalled modem by bt socket etc.Going down his list eventually put through to 2nd line team.They checked my phone line and said it was okay then he said (which i couldn't believe) it may be that a lot of people in my area are on the network at the same time therefore its too busy. Is this correct?

Thanks
CazzieA busy DSL circuit should not result in connection problems - merely slowness of service. If you're on a 50:1 contention ratio service, this means that up to 50 people may be using the same circuit. You should still be able to connect though, even though it might run a little slowly under HEAVY loading.

Sounds like second line support is little better than first... Ask them to do a clean line test on the telephone line. It's quite possible that some cabling needs replacing.Hi Again

Talktalk technical support has not helped at all their only response is that the modem isn't installed properly(which it is).I have not been able to access internet in the evening for the past five months.I have decided to go with Bt, eventually got my mack code from tt but tt said since I am canceling my contract early they are charging me a £70 cancelation fee.Also denying that I cannot access the internet at times i said.
So is it possible to take print out logs of modem/my internet access if so could you advice me on how to do this please So I can take them to carphone wearhouse.They are the ones that are breaching the contract as i hav not received the service they promised.

Hoping someone can help

CazzieI'm afraid you would not have suitable logs to show them. But they certainly would have the logs. I think you need to escalate this to Customer Services - if you get no satisfaction there, ask for a supervisor, and keep going until you find someone with a brain.

Your experiences are unfortunately rather common with TalkTalk/CPW.

Incidentally, I have been researching broadband suppliers myself recently, and the one that seems to come top of the service polls is Zen. They are not the cheapest internet supplier, but having been burnt by very poor customer service in the past, I think it is worth paying a little bit extra just to get a decent service.Thanks for your reply Rob.Been on the phone to tt most of the morning.Eventually got through to customer services they were no help,they put me through to tech support who put me back through to customer services blah!blah!blah!and there was no supervisor present.Surprise surprise on getting pushed from pillar to post getting no where.I've honestly had enough of them and rather pay the £70 just to get rid. My advice is beware out there and for god sake don't sign up for talktalk broadband. I'm gong back to BT.

Thanks again
CazzieI'm sorry to hear about your experiences Cazzie. Yet another reason not to touch TalkTalk for broadband (UK users beware).

If you still have the energy, it would be worth a formal complaint. In fact you could cause quite a nuisance for TalkTalk by reporting them to Ofcom (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/). For every complaint OPENED against an ISP, the ISP automatically has to pay a complaints handling fee of something like £325, regardless of the outcome of the complaint. So you could score a minor victory.Hi Rob
Success Last attempt phoned TT with threat of complaint to Ofcom.After speaking to various people eventually got a supervisor(after half hour on phone)long story short now have mac code they're not going to charge me disconnection fee and are sending me out a chegue for £40 for compensation for loss of broadband services.I'm transfering phone line/broadband back to BT on the 10th April.
I'm GLAD to see the back of talktalk.Again for all out there.../ Please Do Not sign up with these fools. Have a look at this web site http://www.oliverbrown.me.uk/2006/05/17/talktalk-problems/
I wished I know about this site before I went with them.

Thanks for your help and advice Rob I'm now a happy bunny

Cazzie
P.S
Forgot to mention I put a complaint to Ofcom
Great Cazzie, I'm glad you persevered. That's a much better result. Good work!

Networking Win Me & 98SE

Is it possible to network these 2 computers?

Any help will be helpful.

ThanksYes, but some details about the equipment would be helpful.Hi

These computers are not mine, I can FIND out more info from the owner.

What information is NEEDED?

Thanks,

Does anyone know how to use the new Verizon Wireless internet broadband modem (USB720) to send and receive FAXes? I have WIN XP PRO SR2 with the latest UPDATES and have installed windows proprietary fax software.

The modem has its own telephone number and I have been told by 2 Verizon Wireless sales people that it can work with FAX, but no one seems to know how.

Any help would be appreciated.

Badgenut :-/The sales people are completely ignorant. This is a digital (broadband) modem. Fax requires an analogue (telephone) modem.

Your broadband splitter separates your phone line into two "streams" - analogue for voice/fax (i.e. normal telephone use) and digital for broadband use. Your USB720 is plugged into the digital stream so there's no way it could send a fax in the conventional way. Your options are either 1. buy a normal analogue modem (which you can use simultaneously with the broadband modem) or 2. use (e.g.) an email-to-fax gateway. That's normally a paid service - see Google for more info.

If you WANT to send and receive a lot of faxes, you might think about buying a dedicated fax machine.

The moral of this story is never listen to sales people. Always come here first.

In order to share file, my firewall suggested that I open port 445. Any risk?

MP
Instead of opening it, use a hardware firewall to trigger it when its being used so it'll close once it stops being used. I'm not sure what Raptor means (possibly referring to NAT?) but people beyond your LAN should never have access to this port. If you are on a trusted LAN, it is reasonably SAFE (and probably necessary) to expose this port, but you do not want it to be seen beyond your router. >Have a read<.This came up when my Desktop tried to access shared files on my Laptop over the wireless HOME network, Desktop was denied access. Checking the Activity Log on Mcafee firewall on my Laptop, it suggested that I open port 445. However, checking the list of ports that can only be opened manually, I also found the name of my Desktop COMPUTER on the list of all those ports. ShoulI put a check MARK on the name of the Desktop computer instead of opening port 445 and keep port 445 CLOSED? I believe by putting a check mark on the name of the computer, the Laptop firewall will allow my Desktop to access the shared files and keeps port 445 closed?

MP

No - that will cause all ports to be opened between the two computers. Take your pick.

Hi! i have friend, he is using a workgroup with about 5 PCs, and about 8 users, he created a shared folder for some important files. The probelm is that he does not want the 8 users to have access to this folder over the network, he want to specify ony 3 users to use it, is there a way he can specify a password on this folder and give it to the 3 users and they can have access over it on the network?
Appreacite all help.Just set the permissions on the folder for the 3 people you want to use it. That will keep the others out. Make sure you remove "Everyone" and add the users you want.

Alan <>< Advice for a windows XP computer, with NTFS file system. Also, I suppose those computers are not in a Windows domain, they are in a workgroup, as you SAID. Pay attention, these are technical terms (windows domain and workgroup; if you have your computers in a BIGGER enterprise network you will better talk to your network administrator).
Create those users, with the same password, on the system where the share lies (this is a solution, there are more). Create share, give rights to those users to that share. There are sharing security settings and file security settings... You have to play with both.

Other solution, close to first (I have not played for long with such things, I do not KNOW if I am right... You tell me, ok?):
You don't create those users on the computer with the share. You will grant them the right to "Access this computer from the network" (Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy->User Rights ASSIGNMENTS), mentioning the usernames like: computername\username (username=user account; computername = the name of the computer on the network on which that user account is defined and not the computer which has the share). You will grant them access to share (right click on folder, "sharing and security") using the same method (mention the user as computername\username). Be carefull to: grant access for share, disable "guest" account on the computer with the share, do not give the local group "Everyone" access to that share (but do not forbidd the access of the group "Everyone" to that folder, just erase the group from the list when you are granting access rights.
Tell us which ONE you choose.

k people just want to let everyone know that i have fallen in LOVE with this site and that everybody here is great. k, now my problem is i have a brand new computer Dell duel core. 1gb RAM exc.. exc.. now i have it hooked up to the internet trough a router. I still have a hard line router don't really need or want wireless quite yet. But anyways new computer hooks up to the internet through the router not sweat. Older computer tell me this "your puter was unable to renew its address from the network" This is after i try to repiar the the connection. And i try to REPAIR the connection because it tells me that my connection has little or no connectivity. Now i have rebooted my computer my router and have tryed just about everything that i have found in these forum that are even close to a similar problem. The hardware is just fine because I was using it before i got the new computer. After trying to repair connection I get this, "Windows could not finish the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing you IP address
For assistance, contact the person who manages you network" Well I have conntacted myself many times and myself just cant find the answer. so if any one has come across this problem or have a better solution then conntacting myself, I would really appriciate the help. Thanks again.Reset the router by powering it down..turn it back on and wait 20 seconds.
Then from a command prompt type in ipconfig /renew and hit Enter.Yeah and make sure your default gateway is the same. how do i check my defult gateway and make them the same?Read the networking FAQ (link below).




APOLOGIES to ANYONE who's noticed I'm like a stuck record today...

Here at work we have a small LAN going on and in a short time to more than 200 nodes with a LOT of users and traffic. We started out with only 20 nodes which was pretty darn GOOD. Now the LAN is completey slow. Can you tell me what i can do to solve this problem...... Why is it so slow, How can i fix this....... Please Help.. Very FrustratedYou need to give alotmore information to get some help. Like...
Is it a client/server or workgroup setup / what TYPE of router are you using, computer or something like a linksys / are there a lot of applications that are used over the network buy multiple users...you know, simple stuff like this :-/

Alan <><

At the 200 node stage you probably need to consider segmenting your LAN and installing some reasonably INTELLIGENT switches. Several questions need to be answered first:

• how much is your company prepared to put into its network INFRASTRUCTURE
• type of data being routed (if there's a lot of video on the net for instance, you may want to consider gigabit equipment)
• level of networking competency available to you - you have got to the level where DIY may not be good enough, and it would be worthwhile splashing out on some network infrastructure consultancy (if you're in the north west of England, give me a call! Heh!)

Let me know what more u need?

I am getting an HP ZE4325US, and I'm going to need a wireless card (I have comcast) My last laptop had built in wifi, so I had nothing to WORRY about, but I'm new to the whole pc card thing. So where can I buy one, how much will it cost, and which should I get?
Thanks, and sorry if this thread has already been made.
PeterThere are lots of places you can get them, you can get them at newegg.com, you can get them at frys, circuit city, best buy, and possibly your local electronics place. It actually depends on which one you get, that will determine the cost. It is a matter of opinion on which one you think you should get. It also depends on what type of router you have, do you have wireless A,B, or G? In my opinion I WOULD recommend you get one from Linksys.

My CCNA cert. Um maybe the network I wired in my mothers company that had previously used Belkin and Net Gear with lost signals all over the place until I junked that hardware for Linksys products and Bang not an error since. Well I think I covered your request for inclusive information.

And yeah 802.11g is the standard of today until 802.11n is completed in a couple months possibly.

Only the GPU matters....everything else is irrelevant.

Are these legal torrents?
Any other problems?
Like, does your internet work OK otherwise?

My internet otherwise is pretty much webbrowersing and whenever I turn on µTorrent it slows down my useage of Firefox. This was true before when torrents were working and I accepted it. This is still happening even now when torrents go nowhere.

bleh I'm still hoping this is some sort of temporary thing but it's been going on for much longer than normal.

Hello, new to the site and hope you all can help me.

Here is the rundown. For the past week, my wife has had trouble getting the computer to HOOK to the internet. I say she has the problem since it happens when I'm at work. When I get home, all is fine. I tried to get it to do it over the weekend and it worked fine. Tonight, she had the same problem and she figured that since it was still doning it, she'd just print out some pictures for our albums and when she went to "My Pictures", the "favorites box would show up on the left of the screen, without her doing anything, then disappear. It will keep doing this. What could be the problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.Could you get your wife to write down the steps that she goes through to connect to the internet and the error messages she sees (if any)? That would help a lot.

As for the other problem: the Favourites box will appear/disappear if she presses Ctrl-I. Perhapsshe is leaning on the keyboard at the time? Or clicking something without noticing?Thanks Rob. She doesn't do anything different than I do to get on. It hooks up AUTOMATICALLY at start up. Here is what I found when it finally did it to me today. I unplugged the modem and it seems to connect fine now. (we'll have to see later tonight if it solved the problem) When I was ABLE to get onto the internet the web page would bo screwy. It ould go to "FULL screen" (no header or buttons) to normal screen, then to condensed screen. All the time the Favorites box would pop up. (I was no-where near the keyboard, it was pushed in under the desk and I did check for a stuck button)I use a mico wireless mouse and while this was going on the light on the reciever for the mouse was blinking like crazy. I found a folder in one of my temps folders and it had just about every name of Virus scan, adware/spyware scan in it. (it was a text file) Deleated it, did a scan with the adware and got a few hits, also used Spybot SD and it also had a couple hits. Deleated whatever they found and it didn't act up again. Any suggestions on what else I should look for?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.Uh-oh. What antivirus protection do you use? Is it up to date?I use AVG and update everytime I turn on the computer. (pretty much daily) I also run the scan every other Sun. (full system) I had a virus on my old computer when I was running McAfee and that was how I knew to look in my temps folder for anything unusual. I haven't tried the virus scan after deleating that file I found. (ran out of time before coming to work) All my intuitions were telling me it probably was a virus. Any help?I suggest setting up the scheduler in AVG to run DAILY. Run it when no one is using the computer.

Also might try CCleaner:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

Alan <>< ale52, thanks. I do have CCleaner. Not a bad program. Do have a question for ya about it. When you run the regristry cleaner, do you get rid of everything it finds? I did that once and my recording programs wouldn't work anymore.

My wife just called by the way and everything has been working for her fine. I may have got the problem solved by finding that file. Thanks guys for the help. CCleaner, if that's the registry cleaner you're referring to, is very configurable. Spend a little time with it and you'll see.

To be safe, back up your registry before running CCleaner.

Alan <>< Don't PLAY with a registry cleaner. If you are fond of your current Windows installation...
Use an antivirus (or 2), use an antispyware program (or 2), use a firewall (only 1 ).

Hi buddy, I am experiencing a network access permission PROBLEM. Please help me!!!
I have TWO computers. One is Dell desktop, and the other one is Toshiba laptop. Both are working with windows XP, and both are connected with a 4-port D-Link ADSL router to get the access to the Internet. Each computer has a local printer installed- Dell with a laser color Epson printer, and Toshiba with a Canon bubble jet. I have run "setup home and small office network wizard" to configure the local network setup, for example, to enable file and printing sharing, and so on. At last, both computer can see each other in the Network Neighbour. However, the Toshiba can not access the resources on the Dell including the printer, but the Dell can visit all the resources on Toshiba happily. When Toshiba access Dell, an error message prompted up saying there is no permission to access the network resources.

I have tried to install the IPX/SPX NetBIOS protocol, and do the sharing, etc., but the permission problem still cannot be fixed. Are there any things I have OMITTED? If you have this experience or some ideas, can you share with me how to fix it. I would be much appreciated.Quote

Hi,
I bought a SMC Barricade Turbo 2404 WVR Wireless Router a year ago and have just started to use it. It works perfectly, yet I am unable to block it off from other users so my NEIGHBOURS are constantly downloading things. Unfortunately I have thrown away all of the packaging that INITIALLY came with it so I don't know how to block it off. COULD you please be so kind to let me know how I can block it so that my neighbours can't use it ? THANKS so much!! Help please anyone?Go to SMC's website, head for support, and download the user guide for your router there.

http://www.smc.com^^Thank you! I will try that now!

hello guys, i have a question. my wireless internet has been working PERFECTLY until yesterday!!! i have a hp laptop with windows xp on it and i use a wireless-g 2.4 ghz LINKSYS broadband router. with comcast internet.

now today when i turn on my laptop not only does it take a LONG time to load up ( i turn it up and my picture i use as my desktop backround just shows with no icons on or anything for a good 5 mins)

Now when i look at my wireless internet icon on the bottom it says.. speed 54.0 mbps and says the connection is very good. but then it says acquiring network address.

it then says bytes sent- 0
and recieved - 923

when i go to view wireless networks it says..
"Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. if you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection use that software. if you want windows to configure this wireless connection start the wireless zero configuation (WZC) service. for information about starting the WZC service, see article 871122 in the microsoft knowledge base on the microsoft.com website.

i look in my control panel then ADD new or delete files and i dont see any thing to do with wireless


I thought it was the drivers but it says all my drivers are up to date and it says it it is working well.


can someone please tell me what to do ... all this happened once my boyfriend started windows and while it started up and was loading programs he pressed the button on top to turn it on and off and it didnt just go off it said logging off.. then shut it down and ever since he did that his internet has been doing this

we have a old dell windows 2000 laptop that is working perfectly using wireless but they go direcly its not like xp at all. but im TRYING to fix my work laptop i need it for work asap

thank you

plz ne help out there?be pateint not everyone is on all day like me lol


try unplugging hte power from both the modem and the router

wait 30 secs

plug modem back in let it boot up all the way
then plug the router back in restart your computer and then try it

unlovedwarriordidnt work still says acuirieng network address and then i go to support tab it says invalid ip address and ip address 00.00.00.00 something like that and same thing for subnet mask

it reicing bytes but not sending them outI think you may have a bigger problem here than just your wireless network malfunctioning. Have you rebooted since, and does it take as long to boot?yeah iv rebooted alot

and it takes a little time to boot but it eventually boots up


the weird part is all this just started happening 2 days ago when my bf pushed the on/off button a couple of TIMES while everything was loading.but when he did it it said logging off and then shut down so not like it turned off wrong wayOkay, well lets start by going back to a restore point, before all this happened. Go to Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools-->System Restore. Choose "Restore my computer to an earlier time". Choose the date just before this happened then follow the instructions.

Don't worry - you won't lose any data during this process. Report back on your progress?it says stystem can not be restored because no changes have been made.



kinda weird hmmWere none of the dates on the little calendar in bold?Quote

2wire 1800HG Gateway, generic wireless network card. Windows XP media 2002. No problem connecting when SSID is enabled but can't connect when SSID is disabled. Can somebody shed some light please.

My laptop has not problem connecting even when SSID is disabled, running Windows ME ( three years old).
I suspect hardware incompatibility. Are you using Windows' Wireless Zero Configuration?Thanks for your reply, since then I have done some research and found that Windows XP SP2 uses SSID to connect, disabled the SSID will RESULT in no connections. No way around it.

My laptop with Windows ME (three years old) does not have this problem. On Microsoft website there was a BUNCH on discussion on this issue.

MP
Disabling SSID BROADCASTS is a very weak security measure in any case, so it's probably not a big loss. If you use WPA/WPA2 with a long and random key (20 characters or more), you're quite well protected. SSID hiding, MAC filtering, disabling DHCP, etc., only make it harder for you to use your network, they pose no significant obstacle to a hacker.I wouldn't completely agree with that. MAC filtering for example, although not impervious to ARP poisoning attacks will to some extent put off all but the most patient of crackers. War drivers will tend to GO for the easier targets first...Quote

I need dire help. Here's my situation:

-I have a desktop downstairs, with a Linksys WRT54G router and a Cable modem.
-I have a laptop upstairs, (supposed to be) wirelessly connected to the router.

Since the other day, my laptop won't stay wirelessly connected for more than a few minutes at a time. During the short time I am connected, on the "available WIRELESS networks" screen, it says I'm "not connected!" WHY IS THIS?!

This happened a few months ago, I fixed then it by setting up the "Secure Easy Setup" thing on the router. I tried that this time, but it doesn't work! What do I do? I can't figure it out! Please help as soon as possible! This is gonna make me go crazy! Thank you in advance!What happens when you move the laptop closer to the router / try TEMPORARILY disabling your security (WEP or WPA) and see if that helps.

Alan <>< I tried... I GET an "excellent" SIGNAL but it still constantly goes out. Also, I have my security disabled and it's still doing the same thing. "Since the other day, my laptop won't stay wirelessly connected for more than a few minutes at a time." What has happened "Since the other day..."?

Need...more...info...gasp

Operating system / antivirus & antispyware protection / SERVICE packs installed / when did it start happening / did it ever work right / installed any new software?
Bluetooth devices? Microwave owen? Other wireless appliances that appeared in your house or nearby?
It could be an interference...You may also suspect faulting/incompatible hardware.

do i have to get a different dsl MODEM (300g dlink) for higher speed ?
or is it the gigabyte network card ?

download speed now is 1.5mps ,but will SWITCH to up to 3mps in the summer or maybe the up to 6mps .

which is it ?Certain early ADSL modems can't cope with later ADSL technologies (ADSL 2, ADSL MAX). See if your current modem still works after the UPGRADE; chances are that it will.

I have a home network using a normal router,,I have recently purchased a laptop and WANT to use it wireless(it has such capabilities)..is it possible for me to attach a wireless router to my present router AS I DO NOT WISH TO ALTER MY PRESENT SETUP - it works fine.thanks for any help....
cheersYes, you can do it. The level of difficulty depends on the abilities of the wireless router. Actually all you really need is a basic wireless access point ("WAP"). That would be simplest to configure, I think.Connecting TWO SOHO broadband routers together.

Configure the IP address of the secondary router to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP SERVER in the primary router. For INSTANCE DHCP server addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address.

Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router.

Setup the wireless section just the way you would if it was the primary router.

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. Leave the WAN port unconnected!

hello this is probably a simple to ANSWER problem for someone.. i have the following
bt homehub (with wireless)
xp laptop (with wireless card)
normal pc (wired via ethernet cable)

i have installed the wireless card to the laptop it reconises the the home hub and says that it has excellent connectivity. however i cant browse the internet , as soon as i try this a blank web page appears and the laptop asks if it should connect/ YES/ then it just displays "web page cannot be DISPLAYED" on the browser any ideas? MANY thanks mw
You need to set the laptop to use the router's IP address as its primary DNS and gateway. Have a look in the networking FAQ (link below) for more DETAILS.

have access to the internet... I can get on search, type in pages, and use my favorites. My problem is... I can't click on ANY links for either IE or Firefox... just takes me to a "Unable to connect" page..... every time.. I have to manually type in the web page.. or copy and paste it. I have TRIED using default settings, changing settings.. uninstalling and re-installing....

I'm using Windows XP, all versions of XP, IE and Firefox are current.

I share internet with my dad we use DSL... NOTHING has changed, no settings have been messed with. Both computers have been scanned for virus' and spyware and nada.

Short of reformatting I'm stuck ...

:-?Try this, Go to Start, Run and type in "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the quotes). Click OK when done and if a message pops up that says "DllRegisterServer in urlmom.dll succeeded," the problem should be fixed. If that still doesn't WORK, try TYPING in the following commands in the Run box:
- Shdocvw.dll
- Msjava.dll
- Actxprxy.dll
- Oleaut32.dll
- Mshtml.dll
- Browseui.dll
- Shell32.dll
One of these options should SOLVE the link problem you are experiencing and you can enjoy link freedom once again!
