Computers & Internet - 9 December 2007

Hi Guys!

Can anyone help me in setting up a Home Network? I have 2 desktops and a laptop at home that I want to set up. I have a Linksys Router and connected them by DCHP enabled. I will be sharing the internet connection also. I already set up the Win XP by following the XP wizard in Networking set up. My problem is that I can not connect my Win98 desktop to the 2 XP. How can I connect Win98 to XP so that I could browse shared folders and printers?

Is it me? Or is Vista a load of rubbish??
I have a HP ipaq 2490b os5.0 which will not syc with Vista windows mail, calender, or anything useful on Vista. Been told by Microsoft to export calender to Outlook and syc with that _ Superb!! Also Vista will not find / recognise my DVD burner, tried all the usual ie scan for hardware changes, update drivers etc (drivers ok by the way for some thing that doesn't exist) and short of throwing the pc out of the window I am at a loss!!

Does anyone have any ideas that might be able to get me to sync with my ipaq the programmes on Vista, and anyway to be able to find my dvd burner? Also does Microsoft have any plans to issue a sp to deal with these (and many other) problems with Vista?

Many thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

I downloaded a torrent and it was in like 60 parts. Half of the parts are .rar files and the other half are just files. They are numbered 0-60 something. Inside of the .rar files are iso parts and the others are just files with the extension .sfv How do i combine the .sfv files with the iso parts that are in the .rar files?

I have a html file I'm working on.
The website is creativescreenstudios.com
I want the paypal button to float on the right. On my local version of the file, it does float on the right, but once I uploaded the file, the button displays floated to the left.

Why would the same file be displayed differently between the local version and the online version??

-it does this in both Firefox and Internet Explorer

I was barely at the website for 10 seconds and then I got some virus message (even though I have anti-virus protection & pop-up blocker software).
Now while I'm on the Internet (any site) I get pop-ups.

HELP! Does this mean my laptop is infected, and if so, how do I get rid of it?

We live in Ortega Forest in Jacksonville and our internet connection sucks!!!! slow dial up, Internet providers havetold us that we must get dial up,due to the amount of trees in the area. Who are the fastest dial up providers who don't cost an arm and a leg and don't have anything to do with TV?? We just want better Internet..
