Computer Networking - June 2007

My desktop has DSL internet. I also have a laptop (wireless card built in) and I am trying to create a wireless network. I am using a Linksys router and Wireless card (connects through USB) on the desktop. I connect everything, the lights for WLAN; the port light; and the internet light on the router are all lit. The laptop is detecting a wireless network. The problem is when the router tries to configure---it says there is no internet conncection, even though the light on the router is on and the icon on the desktop shows I am connected. I cannot even get Internet Explorer to connect to enter the IP address to configure the router with DSL--it says there is no connection. When connecting the Ethernet directly to the computer, not via router, the connection is fine. Where am I messing up? Could the router be bad?

The geeksquad router is protected by a password when I try to log into their wireless internet. My Aunt has the router in her room, but the password is not on the bottom. My Aunt is able to use her wireless internet, but because I don't have the password I am not able to. When we go onto her laptop, the password appears as black dots. Is there a way to decode it so I am able to plug it into the geeksquad password area on my laptop? My laptop has wireless but I need that pass key thing from geeksquad. Is there somewhere else I can get it? My aunt says that Geeksquad will charge you $70 for them to help you over the phone.

PLEASE HELP...it is boring waiting to go on the internet when I have a perfectly good computer that is just 5 or 13 characters away from the World Wide Web

I have AT&T Dsl and it sucks. I've had it for about a year. It's great at times but sucks at some points. Lately it's been lamer than dial up internet. I've tried to get help form them but can't understand them to well. Or it doesn't help any. I bought a new modem even. 2-wire wireless one. This computer is wired to it. Yet it still sucks. Can you help? Should I run system recovery or use this disc it came with that has a seal that says use onl yif directed? Thanks

I came to know that cat 6 is much better than cat 5e ethernet cable. I was planning to replace my cat 5e but then I heard that cat 6 needs special requirements that my computer may not have. My computer is an hp with AMD Athlon 2 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB harddisk and Internet service is Verizon FIOS. Can I use cat 6? Also, will that increase the internet speed/performance?

I'm looking to replace the power adapter for a 2Wire modem.
Part #: GPUSW0512000GD1S
Input: 100-120v 50/60 Hz, 0.15A
Output: 5.1v (DC2A)

Does anyone know where I can buy one? Seems that it's a unique voltage that I can't find at Best Buy, Fry's or Radio Shack.

I just realized the button was even there! I used to have a dial up connection, but for the past year I've had high speed so I had to get a modem.

I have one computer which is connected to broadband internet and another which is connected to this computer via an rj45 cable, both the host pc and the client can connect to the internet via a home network shared connection.
Is it possible to plug another computer into a second network card on the 'client' (second) pc using another rj45 cable and will the third pc be able to access the internet? or do I need to buy a hub or router?
All three pc's are currently networked and all can see each other, however the third pc cannot access the internet. Is it possible to networ like this?

I recently purchased a Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO router and a Belkin Wireless G USB Adaptor for my 2nd PC. At first both were working fine. After about 3 weeks, the 2nd PC (the wireless one) could not find the router any more. I tried to manually add a profile for the Belkin Wireless Router but it could not connect to it.

I also have a laptop from work. It has its own wireless card but it cannot find the router either. (It does find some other wireless network and is able to connect to one of them. But my 2nd PC can't even connect to those networks.)

I tried to restart the router and changed the channel on the router as the suggestion of Belkin's tech support. It worked for several minutes. Then the network dropped again. I am very frustrated right now. Please help!
