Computer Networking - January 2007

I use both a 'Wintel' PC (running WinXP Pro) and a Mac PowerPC (running OS X Tiger), and I've connected them via a simple FireWire aka IEEE1394 cable. Every time I boot up or wake up the Mac, Windows insists on starting the 'found new hardware' wizard which then fails to complete. How can I stop this from happening, without having to reconfigure the connnection or otherwise mess with it too much (it otherwise works fine and I'd rather not risk that)?

And yes, I know that every Mac user out there will say that it's hopeless as Windows is so fundamentally rubbish, and equally every Windows user will tell me to drop the Mac off the nearest railway bridge, but I'm kind of looking for a more practical solution here... :-)

I would like to be able to access my ISP email account on my laptop as well as my PC - I have a basic wireless connection - how can I do this? I know I can do this via webmail but that doesn't have my address book. Do I have to set up my account on the laptop as well as the PC. Will I have access to my address book still? Will the emails still be accessible on the PC? Easy to understand answers please?

I am a long way away from my base station, and my transfer rate drops to 1Mbps, and has a very low singal. When I am next to the base station my transfer rate is 11 Mbps. I don't want to have to replace my base station if I can help it.Or is my router just rubbish and needs replacing??!! Could I install a booster/repeater to boost the signal at my end of the house? I have a samsung Q20 laptop with wireless built in. Any help would be great.

Hi there.

I have bradband with BT at the moment. and today i bought a Belkin F5D7632 wireless router and ADSL modem all in one package. I have tried setting up my Wireless network and my laptop receives the wirless connection. only problem is that when i connect to that Wireless network, when i open IE6, it says the page cannot be displayed.

The DSL light on my belkin router if flashing and not permannelty on which means it is negotiatiiong a connection.

What is wrong? I thought it might be that im nto meant ot have 2 (A)DSL modems at once.

Thanks in anticipation

Darren

How hard is this? I have two PCs set up in my house already; what all is involved in adding a third PC to the setup? Not sure if I remember the configurations for the router, etc. Also, is a utility like AOL Port Magic something I should be using?
