Computer Networking - May 2007

I want to set up an Ad Hoc network between my tower computer (has internet) and my laptop (does not have internet) so i can use the internet on my laptop via wifi thought the tower. My laptop says it has an ad hoc connection with the tower. My tower does not recognize that the laptop is there. Noramly i would be able to do this but my tower is Vista and my laptop is xp. I need to access internet and printer sharing though the tower, via my laptop. I some one can show me how to do this without a router i would be greatful.

I also have a lynksys router, but haven't changed any settings on it. Some ftp sites will give me this error message (below) a few times, then magically work. Others give me the message every time.

I've tried different computers on my network, different ftp programs, and tried connecting in and out of passive mode, ascii, binary, you name it...

I'm assuming the problem must be with my router? All my computers are connected to it, which is connected to my dsl modem.

Here are the last few lines in my ftp program:
[16:34:36] Detected Server Software: PureFTPd
[16:34:36] PWD
[16:34:36] 257 "/" is your current location
[16:34:36] TYPE A
[16:34:36] 200 TYPE is now ASCII
[16:34:36] PASV
[16:34:36] An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
[16:34:36] Server closed connection

Thanks in advance.

Belkin's F5D7230-4 V2000 and I have two laptops (A&B) and one WM6 Smartphone.
Laptop A is w/o XP SP2 and Laptop B is with XP2.
Untill couple of months ago I was able to connect to my home WiFi from all the three devices. Now I can only connect to my home WiFi using Laptop A and browse the internet.
My Laptop B and WM6 SmartPhone will connect to the WiFi but will fail to open up any web page. Router logs shows that they are connected to my home WiFi.
To make things intresting my Laptop B comes with a VPN, when the yellow bulb in the system tray indicates that I have a WiFi Connection and log into the VPN, I get connected and I can then go to the internet.
I have reache out to Belkins and they tried everything and gave me a option of getting the VPN port IP, but than I will not be able to connect my SmartPhone to the WiFi. I am not sure that is the solution for me. BTW My Router shows that all three devices are connected to it. I am not sure what the problem is. Pls help?

Okay, here's the deal. My wife has a desktop in our second bedroom. when we bought a wireless laptop, I hooked the router up to the desktop and installed the software, made the router secure, then established a connection from the laptop to the router. Th router has worked like a charm.
But now we want to get rip of the desktop, its old and dying. Currently, the cable line enters my home and connects to my modem, then another cable goes from my modem to the PC CPU, then the last cable goes from the PC CPU to the router.

My question is can I remove the PC CPU from this loop? Cant I just have the cable coming into my home to the modem, then a cable going from the modem to the router and that's it? Will I need to intall the router software on my laptop?

when i was in the wireless internet section, it told me it found 2 signals, one excellent, one poor. (neighboring condos). What happens when you use someone elses signal anyway? I am waiting for my internet provider to send me my own wireless router.. I don't want to use the regular connection on my desktop..

I am having a problem connecting to/setting up my home FTP server. Please help!

I bought a Nexstar Network Attached Storage Drive which has the capability to act as an FTP server. In its configuration page I gave it a static IP address & set the port to 21.

I also proprely set up a host site/name through DYNDNS.org.

I also have a linksys WRT54G router. DCHP server is enabled, but I assigned the Nexstar a static IP (same IP as what was entered in the Nexstar's configuration page).

Also, DDNS was set up (Dynamically), and the router log states that the DDNS was updated successfully.

Lastly, I enabled port forwarding to port 20-21, and assigned it to the router's IP address.

When I attempt to connect to the FTP site with WS_FTP I get an error message stating "Connection failed hostname.dyndns.org" . Note that I omitted my host name on here.

When I attempt to access the page via Firefox using my IP address "ftp://myIP", I am taken to my router's sign in page.

What am I doing wrong

Here's what I have:

Router: 54Mbps 4 Port Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband AP Router 802.11g/b 4 ports
Model No: SWBARR-5400

1 Wired PC in study
1 Wireless Laptop in Loung
1 PC in bedroom (not connected)

ok, please go easy on me :)

I have the main computer connected via ethernet cable (virgin modem to router then router to pc) I understand this is called "hardWired" ? then in the lounge-room my wife has her wireless laptop. both PC and Laptop work great, both connect to internet and both have full access to each others machine. NOW, here's the problem ;)
My Eldest daughter as got a PC in her bedroom, I do not want to run a cable all up the stairs etc but our router only as one wireless arial? whatcan I do?

Someone said that I can stick a ethernet arial into slot 2
(or 3, 4) and make another wireless connection. is that right? obviously, I'll need to purchase a wireless dongle or something for the daughter yes? OR can two wireless PCs run from one router arial?

Many Thanks
Sean
