Computer Networking - December 2006

I'm scouting for a laptop, I found 3 good ones, but for internet access, their network is 802.11b/g. These are Compaq Presario Notebooks. I did a bit of searching and found the Linksys 802.11g Wireless Notebook Card, it says it can do the 802.11b. The laptops' network say they are compatible with the 802.11b network. I just want to make sure it is the correct one.

I have 6 separate Windows XP networks, each with their own ADSL with static IP address. Is it possible to access the files on one of the PC's from the others? I can connect to the PC in question, but cannot access (or do I know how to) any files.

I just upgraded my windows 2000 OS to XP and now my internet won't work on my PC. My laptops are connected through wireless and they work just fine. I checked the cables and everything seems fine. The error upon trying to repair says that it can't find TCPIP . What do I need to do?

I have a wireless connection to my desktop but, almost in perfect intervals, the signal drops and re-connects within seconds. This would be fine if my comp didnt freeze and force me to have to "end now" and re-open the internet. Also, whenever I watch video or listen to audio off the internet, it plays, but promptly freezes when the video or song are over. My roomates comp is hardwired to the router and he never has any internet drops. The computer/router/wireless card are less than 48 hrs old. Any ideas? Is this what you have to put up with with wireless?

I have a linksys wrt54gl router with a d-link dwl-g510 adapter. The router is in the room above me (although I wanted it 2 floors above me) and I'm getting a low signal. After some investigating, I found out the ceiling is the kind that has lots of metal strips to which plaster is applied. I'm wondering if there is some sort of signal booster or antenna that can blast though this metal shield above me.
Are there any recommendations on something that is proven to work? Can someone point out a specific product too?

Thanks,
Mike

Last week, I experienced really bad connectivity to 802.11g wireless networks. It appears to be good this week. I found no justification that I could detect. Nothing on the same channel, no phones, nada.

The ISP's involved were Charter Communications(cable), Verizon (dsl), and AT&T (dsl).

The routers were belkin and linksys. NIC's were linksys.

This was in diverse areas of Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, USA.

The connection would flucuate between poor and excellent in a matter of seconds - constantly in flux. The speed would bounce between 6 and 54, also constantly in flux. At times it would stabilize for a few minutes - then bonkers again.

I have heard we were experiencing sun spot activity, but would it affect 802.11?

There is a website that claims to be the end of the internet. For nerdy types like me this is good humor. It does show a portion of the Internet's Fibre Optic map with junctions. I don't know if this is a real map, but surely there is one somewhere. Anybody have a clue?

http://www.rattlehead.com/the_end/ is the website.

Hi, I have 2 gaming computers in my house, one in the basement and one in the top floor. Both of these computers are running and ready to pwn, but the computer on the top floor is not hooked up to the internet when the one in the basement IS hooked up. What exactly do I need to buy to have the computer on the top floor run off the same dsl in the basement either wirelessly or not. What steps in Windows XP program do I need to do to make so the computer can run the internet off explorer or AOL?
