Computer Networking - August 2007

I have a desktop PC whose USB are no longer working (done all the trouble shooting for that) and I need to pull files off the desktop. Can I use the crossover cable to move the info from the desktop to my laptop? If so, how can I access the desktop once it's connected to my laptop with the cable?

Let's say I'm connected to my company's server from my home. The whole "connect to" etc.

It says all of these bytes are being transferred or have been transferred the longer you are on.

Can any info from your other computers which are on the same router be seen by your company/the IT department?

I've been visiting my parents these next few weeks, and I was wondering why their internet keeps craping out. It's cable from cebridge, broadband, not that fast but its about 256kb download and upload. What has been bothering me though, recently, is the modem works great for a few minutes, then craps out and goes INCREDIBLY SLOW... about dial-up speed. It then goes back to normal and repeats the process. I was just wondering if the problem would be the modem or the ISP, doubtful its the OS. It didnt do this last time i was here, which was about a year ago, they still have the same modem. Last year they called me and asked, they had an old 2002 Windows XP system, I figured they needed a computer upgrade. They got a shiny new Dell Dimension E520. I came over to set it up for them and visit them of course. The problem still persists. Is it the ISP? Is it the modem? Do I need to call the ISP and have them replace the modem? I'd rather consult the people here, rather than call. Please help.

Because of your ISP or faulty wiring in your house? My low speed verizon DSL goes on and off every few minutes, and its annoying.
I figured it was just because i have the cheapest plan available, but someone here suggested that its the wiring in my house - my house is very old so this could be it. But how can i tell if its my house or verizon? I dont want to hire an electrician just so he can tell me that verizon sucks.

The port forwarding on my router doesn't seem to be working any more. It's a netgear router, and the firmware is current. In the port forwarding page, I'll take an entry (3389 for example, for remote desktop, or 80 for http) and map it to 192.168.1.3:3389 which would be my PC's IP address and port. Is there anything else you can think of that might be blocking this?

I have a home network setup. The problem is that I cant seem to share the printer I have. The printer is connected to computer A and I cant seem to print from computer B. I have a Netgear Firewall/Print Server that connects both computers. The server has a parallel printer port that I can connect to my printer, but my printer has a USB B male port. The printer is a HP All in One 1300 series. I tried to add a new printing port using the software that came with the server but it doesnt list my printer that I use. I have bought all the adapters that connect a parallel port to a USB port, but my computer cant detect the printer when I connect the printer to the serve instead of computer A. Can anyone know what the problem is?

I am able to pick up a wifi connection from my house. I heard that you can see who else is using the signal, what they are doing and the name of the signal you are picking it up from. What can you do to see who else is using the same signal? (is this a feature only on vista?)

I recently has to control and supervise a Cyber cafe. From the previous records, th system works very fast since it is about 8computers interconnected using a network cable. It is connected to the internet using a LAN and Ethernet.
I have scanned them for viruses, and deleted old or unwanted files. I even changed the Ethernet Adapter and replaced with a new one.
They are all slow except one (The Server).
Now, Some will not display all the colours. and when a client wants to open his e-mail with a file attached, nothing displays except the texts and scanty colours and lines.
What should I do to arrest this ugly situation.
I can't format the hard disc for fear that the system files and configurations will be deleted.
I have tried System restore, but the problem persist.
The first useful advice gets ten points!!
