Computer Networking - August 2007

All right, I have budget under $70. I need to buy a wireless router(N). So, I don't have to buy any modem. I just wanna buy one router. So i can use it as wireless. I don't want to buy a modem. I need a wireless router that includes modem. So, i don't have to install any modem.

I want to know if broadband will ever be free at some point in the future. Interstellar Internet has been proposed and will be a huge advancement in the internet world.

Broadband is cheap, but here in the UK we are still using copper cabling and probably aren't going to move onto fibre optic cabling for quite some time. Heck i read somewhere that the UK have no need for it, which i believe is 110% incorrect.

Fibre optics has a huge potential, it can carry very very large amounts of information at a very fast speed. But is delicate and costly to create. (i've seen how they make it and believe me it even looks costly to make)

Well broadband speeds are increasing everyday and getting cheaper, other than paying for the wiring and having it installed will there ever be a free connection?

So far according to the last time i checked the highest broadband connection in the UK is around 14MB on regular home use. I'm currently using as 10MB connection which to me i find been slow...

I hear that if a computer on a network gets infected by a virus, worm, etc., it could affect the entire system.

In my case it is two computers on the network, desktop by way of wired in, and laptop wireless. Am I right that if these two computers do not interact with each other, the above problem would not be the case.

Am I right that the interaction between the wirless laptop, is only with the router, and not the desktop

I have a SBC Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL Modem and a linksys befsx41 router and need to configure it to connect to SBC Yahoo. The DSL modem it setup to do PPOE so what do I select in the linksys setup software for internet connection type. Do I select PPOE there also or do I select Obtain an IP automatically (DHCP). Should only one part of the connection handle the PPOE ? Should the modem handle the PPOE or the router ? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Comcast wireless DSL router
When anyone logs on Windows XP states
"acquiring network address"

When I look at the properties window of the connection status

icon on the task bar
The internet protocol item shows that I have no IP address

Does the router assign us the router IP ?

How does that work
each time someone connects?

on one and 1 hard drive on the other.

When on the computer with one hard drive, What must I do to SEE the 3 hard drives

I can see FILES but only on one hard drive.

I want to know because i'm thinking about buying one, due to the fact that we have 4 computers in the house and we have 4 network cables running through each computer. I thought maybe if i buy a wireless card for my computer , it can run faster. But what i wanna know is, do i have to buy a specific brand model of a wireless card that matches the router( I HAVE A LINKSYS) that I'm using.

the second computer is an older computer (win98) but does have access to a phone plug. The newer computer (winXP) has DSL upstairs. How can my uncle get high speed on his win98 computer.

I don't think he wants a wire coming down from the upstairs computer and he probably doesn't want his win98 computer to connect wireless through a wireless router. What are his options? thanks so much.

Hi everyone, i have a problem with my laptop - Fujitsu S Series
My laptop is joining a domain in my company, and it can be used to access Internet as the IP is reserved for my laptop and this IP can used for accessing to Internet. So i can access Internet using LAN connection.

The problem is when i unplug my LAN cable and use wiressless connection, i couldnt get into Internet, but i can get the IP from wireless router, (192.168.x.xxx), and the connection signal is excellent. Everything seems normal.

I tot is the wireless router problem, so i connect my laptop directly to streamyx modem (another PC that attached to this modem is working fine), still cannot access to Internet!!

At the status bar there just saying : Looking up www.yahoo.com...

I have off firewall and antivirus.

Pls help me...Thanks a lot

I resently bought a Macbook 2.0 Ghz for school but everytime I get in to the wireless internet at my house it will work for like 5 to 15 minutes then it goes out. I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router and I have to reset it everytime the web goes out. I used my friends Dell and hp and they work fine. So why does the macbook make the internet go out?
