vista sharing

wrightrhw — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:36:35 GMT

not sure i'm in the right place. when i attempt to share drives folders etc , explorer stalls and i have resort to task manager to get back to normal. i run a fujitsu siemens laptop which carries an application called launch manager. if i don't run this application the problem goes away. however this application controls amongst other things the wifi key. so without it no wifi
internet or network. any suggestions please.

networking vista and w98se.

wrightrhw — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:54:10 GMT

i recently had to fit a new router a belkin 4 port +wireless type. previously i had networked two vista laptops with a desktop with w98se on ethernet without problem. the address of the new router is 192.168.2.1. the two laptops addresses are also of the 192.168.2. variety. however the desktop sees the router as 10.0.0.2 and consequently will not connect. as far as i remember the 10.0.0.2 address was as used on the old router. can anyone explain or help overcome this problem.

thanks

Homplug networks co-existing

blacklion1725 — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:42:48 GMT

Following Jason's (excellent) article on Homeplug technology a while back I took the plunge and converted most of my home network to Homeplug using a Zyxel router and ethernet adapters - all the 200AV powerline standard. I dug the article up after seeing a pair of the slower 85mb adapters very cheap at ebuyer, and confirmed that the two standards are not compatible but can co-exist.

What I'm unsure of is whether adding pair of the slower 85mb devices to my existing set up would have a detrimental (in terms of speed) on the existing 200AV connections. Also, given that a router is involved, would traffic between the 200AV and 85mb devices be possible, obviously at the lower rate?

Thanks

W98 Networking problem (password?)

Speedee1 — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:24:38 GMT

I have a new laptop and haven't used the old W98 desktop for some time.

I turned the W98 desktop on again I remembered it popped up with some windows screens at start-up, which it didn't before I started trying to do networking things with it a few months ago.

The first one said " Microsoft Networking - No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources". Buttons --> OK - Cancel

I pushed the return key as I don't know any password!

The next one was "Enter Network Password - Enter Your network password for Microsoft Networking. -- Username my PC ----password box - blank, and Domain Workgroup. Save the password box ticked. Buttons --> OK - Cancel.

I pushed the return key, it popped up another window I think it was like the first and it went into W98 OK.

The desktop doesn't see anything. I want to see the desktop on my laptops network, over the router connection and vice versa; and connect to the internet with both. Vista Laptop is working OK! hence my post! The desktop used to use dial up, which isn't connected anymore.

I downloaded SIW to a USB drive to see if I could see the Password, but only found my old dial up ones on the desktop.

Any ideas what I can do to try and get it working?

Thanks, Speedee :)

Cant connect to internet through router

mam — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:13:49 GMT

rangemax wpn824 v2

Hi,

Yesterday Virgin had technical issues in my local area,Bristol.

I could not connect to the internet.Today I can,but only with my NETGEAR Router disconnected .

I reinstalled the Router,still no connection.The message you have limited or no connectivity appears.

I thought the Router had failed,so I bought another NETGEAR Router,the same message appears with this one.

Like I said,with both Routers connected,problems,without all fine.

According to the VIRGIN status page,there are still some issues in Bristol,could this cause problems for my Router when It try's to connect???.

Cheers

update,

The router detects the IP DHCP,but reports it cant connect with my settings

Loss of internet

alan2273 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:13:41 GMT

This problem really has me tearing my hair out.
Over the past few months my wife's computer keeps losing its internet connection.
I have tried a system restore, this did not work, an Acronis restore, this did not work, ipconfig / release and renew, no effect, I have done an XP repair install and reloaded XP SP3 and got the connection back only to find the next day no connection again.
This machine is using Avira anti-virus and Comodo firewall.
I have even uninstalled the LAN drivers and reinstalled them, but no difference.
This computer is on cable broadband through a D-Link wired router, which my other computer and laptop have no trouble connecting to, I have tried connecting direct to the cable modem and still no connection.
Has anyone got any thoughts on this .

virgin cable broadband and nintendo wii

gazbut — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:17:59 GMT

hi all

can you help?

i've got a pc setup on virgin cable broadband upstairs but a nintendo wii downstairs.

i've been given a netgear dg834g wireless adsl router

will this router let me connect to the wii?

or does it have to be specific cable internet wireless router?

i've tried setting it up -cable to modem - modem to router - router to pc and the internet still works on the pc. But how do you change any security settings as the pc doesn't seem to know its there?

the wii does detect the netgear wireless router but wont' connect.

thanks

This may seem like a pointless thing to do, but is it possible to disable the ethernet port LEDs on the back of my laptop. I dont want people to know how active the connection is by looking at it.

Wireless, wired and woes...

Biker020991 — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:56:02 GMT

Ok.

So i currently I'm using a free BT voyager modem i got with my connection a LOOOOONG time ago after my netgear router stopped working...

My mum, being the mother she is, wants to be all technologically advanced and all that shiz, and wants to connect wirelessly on her PC...I, however, have an unhealthy addiction to final fantasy XI online, i want to be on a wired connection.

So, we come to a crossroads, i need a router for under £60 that will perform well for my wired connection needs..And the "old bag" (I am smiling as i write this) wants a router that she call be all wirelessly advanced with, and that has a wireless USB adapter with it, because this old desktop PC hasn't got any wireless capability at the moment.

We haven't got any kind of technology for wireless at the moment, ie; no modems, no routers, just a little blue box that has one USB port and one ADSL port. Our AOL connection is 2.2mbps, and i do have some belkin crossover and LAN cables i can re-use.

Can any of you help us? :D

Need a new router any suggestions?

peterb93 — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:51:58 GMT

Ive been having problems with my current router a Linksys WRT54GS the last few weeks so ive decided too buy a new router.

It will only be used for my main PC which is a wired connection and my stepdaughters Laptop which will be wireless and maybe in the future running a printer using wireless also occasionally i hook up my xbox360 using a wired connection.

Has anyone got any ideas of a good make that wont break the bank ie more than £70

Any help would be much appreciated

Anyone have a D-Link DIR-301 ?

Spedley — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:09:23 GMT

All the option boxes say [b]show_words(which_lang[TEXT****])[/b] instead of the options.
I can't find any setting that sets the language and I can't choose the right options for my wireless security without being able to read it !

How to do this?

RangerOfFire — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:00:13 GMT

Apologies if this belongs in the wireless forum as this also includes a bit of wired query.

Currently at home I have the following setup:

I would like to have:
[img]http://site.rof.me.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/net_diagram2.jpg[/img]

I have a couple of questions (please don't suggest an ethernet cable as my dad doesn't want to drill holes in the walls ;) ):
1) What do I need for box X, I believe it is a switch and not a router?
2) To connect the switch can I just plug a wireless ethernet adaptor into the switch (one of the ones sold for game consoles) or do I need to setup a proper WDS wireless bridge with 2 bridge adaptors? Such as using two Edimax EW-7206APG units (further what cable do I use to connect the edimax unit to the switch/router? crossover or patch?)

Thanks,
Michael

Probelm with work network

bobbajob[LSN] — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:40:29 GMT

Sorry if this isn't the correct forum for this type of question.

I work for a small company with a small netwrok running connected to a server for saving of files to.

For some reaosn when twe came in this morning, all the files back to the 29th May have gone.

We have a back up which was made on Monday but have lost the work done yesterday (Tuesday).

The missing files are across numerous folders and are of all types.

The server is running a mirrored array, and reports no errors, so it's probably not a hardware problem.

We use Backup software called GRBackup Pro.

The server is running Windows Server 2003.

Anyone got any suggestions what may have happened?

Thanks

Speedtouch 585 problems!

MartenReed — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:48:32 GMT

My Speedtouch 585 is doing my head in.
We finally got it sorted so I could play DoW online with Bish, but now it's weird.

I've been listed under at least 3 names on it now (it changes them), and it likes to reset all the open ports. And I've not been able to get it to work properly.
Also, sometimes if I put it to open port 6112, it repeats the ports put in before it, and this crashes the interface, and I can't access the settings until I reboot the router AND my system.

Anyone know what's up with it? :(

Port forwarding

tadaska — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:14:56 GMT

I'm trying to host a game server on my PC and have to do the following:

To allow others to connect:
You will need to open ports: TCP 7777, 2106, 2009, 80, and DNS (TCP/UDP) 53 on your firewall.
Ports 7777 and 2106 are needed for server, others for client or GameGuard.
Basically, if you want to run only the server you need only ports 7777 and 2106, but for someone who is connecting to your server all ports must be allowed.
You will also have to forward those ports if you use a router.
Because the variations are to many, we can not tell you how to do either.
Contact your hardware/software manufacturer for further information on how to do this,
or have a look at http://www.portforward.com

I tried a few tutorials but don't understand anymore than I did before...

So here I am asking for help from somebody who has some time and patience to tell me what to do.

tiscali router - usuable with a different ISP?

Router, hub or switch ?

Bernie the bolt — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 21:46:44 GMT

Help I am confused !
I want to set up a home network between my and my wife's PCs. They are both in the same room so can be wired, but I also have an 400mhz Toshiba laptop with a wireless card so I suppose wireless support would be usefull.
My internet connection is unusual (SKY dsl ) via satellite from an outdoor dish to a PCI card in my wife's XP machine. An external modem (US robotics RS232) provides the uplink from this PC.(I use this system as I live in rural France and cannot get conventional broadband)
My Own PC is dual booting XP/Ubuntu Linux but the Sky Dsl will not work with Linux which is why I use my wife's PC for that.
I have tried using a crossover 10/100 cable and can file share but not share the internet connection, so I realise I need a router - or do I ?
Will a switch or Hub do the job, as the broadband connection will not be able to be plugged into it ?
Or will a router do the job - and can I plug cables into a wireless one ?

Gigabit glory

gunman127 — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:35:41 GMT

Not a cry for help, but an exclamation of joy!

I've wanted gigabit networking at home for ages, and last week got a Netgear GS605 off of eBay for £20.

I already had an Intel Pro/1000MT in my main rig, and a generic Realtek PCI-Gigabit NIC in my testbed machine.

Moving an 800MB file on my old 100Mb router, took over two minutes.

Over this gigabit line, under 30 seconds!

I've just now changed to Jumbo Frames setting as well, with 16K MTU size on my main rig, but only 9K on my testbed.

That made it even faster, Getting solid 40MB/s transfers!

I've just ordered 2 more Pro/1000MT off of eBay, the bloke has 28 left so get them now!!!

is it possible to run two asdl conections from one phone line

maticus2 — Wed, 14 May 2008 23:09:54 GMT

Hi guys. I'm going to fix a problem with a broadband connection tomorrow for a work college. now I set up there laptop for wirless broadband yesterday,but they now have no internet on there main pc. there both on BT broadband (same account) the Pc is on a Bt wireless hub and there laptop runs of a blenkin wireless modem. (they bought it with the laptop witch they got just the other day). they only have one phone socket though and that needs to support there phone and sky(sky is optional).

So what I'm wondering is what is the best solution to the problem?. could I still use the blenkin for the laptop and the home hub for the PC by using splitters and micro filters or would it be better for the laptop to share (if that's possible) a wireless connection with the BT home hub?

connecting vista laptop to home network

marc.knuckle — Sun, 25 May 2008 11:22:20 GMT

i have set up a home network with my main desktop running xp connected to my wireless router through the wire(LAN) and my old laptop running win2000 connected through wireless. however, that old laptop is gone and i now need to connect my vista laptop to it.
i have had a play around but as i have never used vista at all before this i cannot seem to 'see' the shared folder on my xp desktop.

so...i need help, from scratch, setting up vista for the sharing. mainly at the moment to see and write to the folder on xp which is set up to be writable. i guess i can sort out a shared folder on vista myself as i believe it is the same as xp that i just right-click and share. also i will attempt to share the printer at a later date.

in this picture it shows 2 adapters that i am not sure if i need to set both as trusted but on the win2000 laptop there was only one and i set it to trusted and it allowed the sharing to pass through... [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee231/marc-knuckle/bnb.jpg[/IMG][/img]

Router Connection

SpriteStomper — Sun, 18 May 2008 20:05:05 GMT

The time has come to connect an additional gaming PC to the internet, up to now I've kept them stripped of all unnecessary software and run them lean and mean, but with an interest in MMO developing this will have to change a bit, inclusion of AVG etc.

Don't laugh but my internet PC is a 1Gig P3 and as its well maintained surfs with no slow down on my Virgin Cable connection (Med up to 2 Mb/s) and is able to multi task- run real time security, stream music, open an application at the same time and its power consumption is neglible.

I don't think a simple home network using a crossover ethernet cable would be the answer as the primary machine would slow it down, and I don't need to share printers etc, as all office /business systems are separate for security reasons, data transfer handled by ext HD. Virgin don't provide Router's or encourage their use but I'd only be using one at a time.

Looking at some earlier posts and the sticky, am I right in thinking that the ethernet connection coming from the modem is plugged into the back of the router, and up to three PC's can be connected from this using ethernet cable, whilst sharing one ISP address.

That Buffalo seems highly recommended, I've also looked at the:-

Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4 Port Switch/VPN Endpoint - for Cable Users for £43.50 on Dabs.com and a cheaper model with no firewall mentioned £10 less. (I thought all Router's acted as a firewall)

Your esteemed thoughts would be appreciated

Problems with NAS drives

Fixer109 — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:55:48 GMT

Hi! Guys, I hope that someone can help me as I'm at my wits end.

I have a Fujitsu Scenic P with a Pentium 4 2.93GHz and 1 M of Ram.

I connect to the internet (SKY) through a Sagem ADSL router. Up until now I have had no problems with my connections.

I recently purchased 2 Mediasonic NCIS HD9-SU2LAH NAS drives each containing a 250G Philips SATA HD.

I set these up following the instructions (in very poor English) and connected them to my system through a Netgear GS608 router. I had no problem accessing the drives and copied over some files as a test. I did find that some files seemed to have dissapeared on the way.

The following day when I booted my system I was unable to acess the Internet. I tried unplugging the drives and after a boot up was able to access the internet again. I then tried plugging the drives in again, same problem, unable to access the net. I tried plugging them straight into the Sagem but with no effect.

On looking at my Directory Opus I was able to see the discs and their contents. I though I would double check the set up of the drives but IE could not find them. The drives came with a utility to find the drive's IP adresses and I found that the IP's had changed from 192.168.0.2 & 192.168.0.3 to 169.254.01 & 169.254.02. Again Tried to access get the set up pages through IE but with no luck.

Tried a factory reset on both drives but now I can find only one under IP 169.254.01.

Can anyone out ther kindly help me while i still have some hair left.

Any help would be greatjy appreciated

Printer Sharing Problems

chrisensor — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:04:37 GMT

I have 2 PC`s, primary PC runs PCLOS2007, secondary runs WinXP Home and 2 Printers which all were connected via a 4 Port ADSL Modem Router and both PC`s could print out on either printer .I found myself needing additional network ports so decided to fit a network switch which I have done. So 2 PC`s and 2 Printers now connect to a Netgear 8 Port switch (Ports 1 to 4) which in turn is connected to my Router (Port 8 from switch to Port 1 on router). Internet access on 2 PC`s o.k but problem now is that ! cannot send jobs to the printers. Tried deleting and adding printers but they have become "invisible" on the network. If I check the DHCP list in my router I can see the PC`s and Printers listed and their addresses (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.4 respectively for the printers). So do I have to connect the printers direct to the router to share them between the 2 PC`s or is there some way of doing it leaving them connected to the switch.

asininity — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:26:40 GMT

First apologies if this is in the wrong section but since its going to be part of my network I thought I'd post here I haver no idea where its meant to go.

Since I bought and put together a media/pvr pc I have realised that I need a new TV as I can't connect my old one up. Well I could but apparently its either expensive or you sacrifice picture quality or both.

I'm not sure whether at face value I didn't plan this out very well or that subconsciously I did it so I could justify to the missus I needed a new gadget?? Who knows.

Right down to it, I know nothing about HDTV's, apparently 1080p output or is it 1080i (I always get mixed up) is the best with 100mhz refresh?? Anyway I'm looking for a cheapish TV thats gonna last a while so was wondering if you guys could help. I was looking at this from ebuyer:

Password request not needed when accessing network

marc.knuckle — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:11:18 GMT

i have setup my network between my desktop xp machine and laptop win2000 machine. when i access the xp folders from the laptop it is fine and goes straight into them but when i try to access the 2000 folders from the desktop it ask for a password and username. the first problem is i dont know what the password is as i cant remember setting one up and it doesn't ask for it anywhere else while actually on the laptop but i dont want the password request on anyway.
so, can anyone direct me how to turn off the request in win2000 on the laptop so that i can access the folders while on the xp machine?

Weird problem with no solution.

asininity — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 19:39:52 GMT

I have no idea whats going on here but its very very annoying. I'm trying to figure out whats going on with some mystical problem between my router and my new build.

The problem is if I connect my new build to the router with a cable it doesn't work. I get limited connectivity in windows xp, and in ubuntu it says its connected but it isn't, I cant even log in to the router on either OS. I can connect wirelessly to the router and access the internet on both OS's though. I don't know whats going on since it was working yesterday.

I've tried troubleshooting everything I can think of but everything is working fine. Heres what I've tried:

My other computer with vista and ubuntu on it connects fine to the internet through the router, and I can log in to the router. So I know the router is working fine.

I've connect the new build directly to the internet and that works fine. So its not the computer.

I've connected the router to the new build using the same cable I use for the old computer and still the same problem, so its not the cable. I even tried using all of the LAN ports to see if its one of them thats duff but nothing still the same.

I've not changed any settings on the router other than to secure the wireless network which is working fine.

I recently updated the driver for the NIC in XP but if its this it shouldn't effect Ubuntu, but I rolled it back anyway still no joy. Its also the same NIC I have in my other computer thats working with no problems.

I'm at my wits end what the hell is going on? None of the hardware is malfunctioning and neither is any of the software. Im using a D-link router DIR-615 (ver 2.00 E) and NIC is a RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller from realtek. Any help will be very much appreciated. Cheers.

Orange livebox

BMCC — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 12:38:36 GMT

Hi All.

Can anyone shed some light on the problem with my O.Livebox .Sometime ago i could not access the internet and called the Orange helpline, they told me to unplug the supply to the Livebox and this would reset my IP address, and low and behold it works but lately it is happening nearly everyday. I have been back to the helpline and they told me it was my network card, as it is onboard i bought a new one and put it in and yes the fault is still there. I've been back onto the helpline and they told me it is my IE loosing the IP addy and told me to reinstall IE7 ,like a good school boy i have done this and the problem is still there .

Can anyone help please.

Router has lost WiFi

PlaneMan — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:09:41 GMT

My lovely Buffalo router (model no WHR-G54s) seems to have lost the ability to accept connections via WiFi.
I've removed the power lead and left it for 10 minutes, done a reset to factory settings and changed the WPA passkey and SSID.
I've also tried it with 3 different WiFi capable computers and a variety of OS's, nothing will work.
This happened when I left my laptop on (doing updates via WiFi) when I went to the shop.

Have I missed something or is it time to get in touch with Buffalo? (It still has nearly a years warranty on it)
The 4 Ethernet ports are unaffected.
Thanks.

Wireless printing

soapy — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:24:27 GMT

Tried to use my printer "wirelessly" using the method as described in the article in issue 998, but without success. My desktop is running XP Home, the laptop Vista Home Premium - would this make any difference ? This isn't a dire emergency, but having set up a wireles network, would like to be able to print from the "lappy". Any help would be appreciated.:):):)
