I'm running a dual-boot system vista/linux, but after I installed Ubuntu my networkcard is not detected. I'm a linux newbie and eager to learn, but it sucks if I can't search for info while in linux-mode.

Any hints?

Going back to linux to post more info.

I am building an htpc and am contemplating using ubuntu instead of windows xp. I have three other computers us XP now. I have them set up to share certain folders.

I was hoping to allow the three xp systems to access saved media files on the htpc system since it will have the largest hard drives, can this be done easily. under windows, I just tell it to share a folder and it shows up on the network.

Hi, it's my first time setting up a network. We have Dell PowerEdge 2900 server with 2 Broadcom BCM5708C NIC's. Now server is connected to internet via one of these NIC's and an Actiontec router for FiOS. Now a 12 port unmanaged switch (HP ProCurve Switch 2312) is coming. We already have all computers hard wired to the place where switch will stand. What do I do next and how hard is it to connect all the workstations to the server?

It's my first time setting up a small business network (1 Dell PowerEdge 2900 server + about 7-8 workstations). All the workstations run Win XP Home. What OS is best to use for these workstations now that I am intending to connect them to the server?

I have a Linksys Wireless B router (up-to-date firmware, checked that) that I've had for awhile, never really used it wirelessly until about a year ago. It worked just fine with my old laptop (which had an abg card in it), but not my wii. I'd have my wii set to wiiconnect24 and the router would bump everyone off randomly and I would have to go restart it before it would assign IP addresses again. Now, I have a new laptop and it's doing the same thing. It's just a wireless problem, when I plug my new laptop into it via RJ-45 it has no random disconnect or DHCP issues. My aunt uses the router as well, with no problems. It's only when I get on the router that it will disconnect and subsequently refuse connections.

It seems to be when I'm busy typing something and otherwise not "using" the internet that it will disconnect... I'm using it wirelessly right now. I imagine if I let it sit for 30 minutes and came back I'd find myself disconnected from the router and not able to connect.

Ifi plug it into (wireless broadband) my laptop and then press the wireless button on my laptop i get another connection 54 mpbs aswell. P.S. I'm only paying £15.98 per month and the price hasn't gone up ever. I have it now for 4 years. I have also told my provider that i am getting this speed and they said because your house is in a wireless zone. Does anyone else have what i got. I'm living in England by the way.

Can you block host by MAC address on a switch from communicating with hosts on a different vlan? i only know about port security which mainly allowing specific hosts to access a port on the switch and denying the rest access...

Ok, i have no clue about LAN connection. Consider me as an ablsolute layman and help me with my problem.

The Situation:

I have two computers, both working on Windows XP. Both of them are independent as of now. I have a BSNL broadband connection. The thing is, suppose computer B is connected to the internet,and if computer A is to be connected to the internet, i have to manually unplug computer B's data cable from the modem and insert comp A's data cable. This is frustrating as only one computer has access to the internet at any given time.
Both the computers have ethernet cards.

The Questions:

1.>How do i setup a internet connection so that both computers can have access to the internet independently?

2.>How much would it cost me? What brand of router(?)/switch(?) should i go for?

3.>Also i came across USB networking between two computers. Is it an efficient way of connecting two computers? If yes, how do i do that?
