Computer Networking - May 2007

Okay, I have one computer connected to a DSL2 + Router. Can I connect to the internet on my other computer without directly connecting the computers to each other or directly connecting the other computer to the DSL? How do I find out if the other computer has wireless network capabilities?

Well i have internet through comcast cable and i have the cable modem connected to my DI-524 Wireless Router. Now i have 3 computers two labtops and 1 desktop, the desktop is connected directly to the wireless router and it works fine. One of the labtops connects wireless fine. But the second labtop doesn't pick up the signal or sometimes it does but it still won't let me connect to the internet. What do i do?

I need the internet but the wireless router is secured and I can't get to it to reset it. Can anyone give me the name of a program that can get the password from it?

It was a networked computer at the office. At home we also have a network. Our router has four ports, three already used. Fourth port is connected successfully to this computer. The internet tests "ping" successfully, but connection never occurs. Any ideas?

I was at Best Buy looking for a Ethernet Cable and the employee asked me if I wanted Straight Thru or _____. (I forgot what the other kind was.) What is the difference and when would it matter?

So, I got my internet hooked up and everything was all hunky-dory, until I tried to secure it. I am using the linksys wireless-G cable gateway with wireless router. I went through the web to the IP 192.168.0.1 to try to secure the network, and used the one-touch security button thing. Long story short, I finally got my security unlocked so other computers on the network can use it, but I still cannot connect my own computer wirelessly, only using an ethernet cable. I pick up the signal, but it seems like it is frozen or something. I NEED HELP!!! Can someone please tell me what is going on and how to fix it?

Need to know what I need to learn to get myself on my feet for servers. I am wanting to use Linux on my server to be able to host:
websites/VoIP programs (ventrilo, teamspeak)/Game server (BF 2142)

I am asking for specific things I will need to know in order to get started, and I will go from there.

I recently installed PCLinuxOS .93 Big Daddy and tried to configure a wireless connection through a NetGear MA521. The OS detects the card, but when I try to configure the network, the system tries to install "packages". It says something like "PCLinuxOS needs to install the caching-nameserver package and is looking in the repository", but it never finds the package. Google didn't help. Any body else have this problem and how did you fix it.

By the way, the wireless card worked fine on windows, but I no longer have windows, so a dual boot is not an option.

My buisness just outgrew itself, and we now have way too many clients to be using just a dell poweredge server with ubuntu on it. What I want is an open-source(preferably linux/unix based) enterprise network/server operating system with client support. Does anyone know of such a thing(similar to Novell's Netware) that is open source-like GNU/BSD/LAMP based? Because I refuse to shell out $900 out of my own pocket for Novell when there are so many other open-source projects out there. And I'm SURE one of them is an enterprise OS!!!!

None of these will be put online, I just want them to share info back and forth and both be able to print. How do I set this up? Do I need any specific software to do so or will windows allow this? I've got them both plugged in now but they don't see each other. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Lori

I'm currently staying in a hotel and cant seem to get their wireless internet to work. I pretty sure its not my computer because i can drive up to panera and steal their signal. My computer says it connected to the hotel but nothing will load on the browser. The people at the front desk say that the computers they are using with wireless are working. Any ideas on what i can try?
