Computer Networking - September 2007

I was wondering if could plug a wireless range booster into my computer (desktop), so I could mimic a non-wireless connection. There's no way to move the computer or my actual router, sadly.

Hi wondered if anyone can help!

I've installed my netgear wireless router. My laptop already has a wireless card to enable connection and is finding it on the list of available connections but is asking for a network key. Anyone know what this is??

If I go to configure I can select 'enter key for me' but I press connect and the internet will still not display!

Please help x

I am trying to connect to the internet, but my router's ID is not showing up on the available network's list. I can connect to the internet, obviously, if I plug the network cable into my computer directly, but am unable to if I plug it into the network. Is it possible my network ID has been hidden somehow? Please help - very frustrated! Cheers, thanks.

I am so frustrated now. I just got a new Dell desktop: Intel Core2 Dual processor (2GHz) and 2GB memory, run on Vista Home Premium. It has internal wireless card. Internet connection is terriably slow. No problem with my router and network, because I have a laptop running on XP. The connection is just fine from my laptop in the same location. I have talked to Dell Support people, two on the phone and two in their online chat room. No one can really help me solve the problem. I am about to replace Vista with XP. Is Vista really this bad, as I had been hearing before I made the purchase? If so, why Dell and others ship systems with VIsta in the first place? Any other solutions beyond getting rid of Vista? Thanks.

Okay here we go.
I was recently given a computer (desktop) for my daughter. It seems to be pretty nice. It has XP pro on it, and seems to run quicker than my newer one. But there is no place to hook up DSL in the back. There are 2 places for a regular phone line and that is it. I have DSL in my front room for my computer. What do I need to get her on the net? And it needs to be as cheap as it can be, I'm a fulltime student and single mother, so I am broke! I was wanting to know if it would work by putting an ethernet card in her computer and just hooking up another DSL modem (which I have) in her room connected to her computer? Someone please help me. She is a great kid and I promised I would figure this out for her. Thank you in advance for any help!

At home I have DSL coming in to the house from the phone cable to a little box(i forget the name). The little box sends out the internet wirelessly and my computer picks it up.
Before I got DSL my computer would scan the area and access any unsecured networks in the neighborhood.

Interestingly enough my DSL came with instructions for encoding the wireless transmission and allowing only my computer to read it. I've noticed that my computer is picking up other secure networks in the area but cannot access them.
I have no need to. But...

Let's say I go to the library and I need to connect to the net and the only wireless networks are secured. HOW CAN I GET MY COMPUTER TO ACCESS ONE OF THE SECURE NETWORKS FOR THE DURATION OF MY STAY AT THE LIBRARY?.........i'd rather do this then pay an arm and a leg for a cellular card with slow loading times and other hassles.

If anyone thinks this is a no no please let me know!:-]

For example, inside the network I know you type 192.168.0.1 (or whatever happens to be the preset address for your router, sometimes 192.168.0.2 or another ip), but is there a way to do so from outside the network other than through a VNC or remote assistance? There may not be, for various reasons, but it doesn't hurt to ask... It would just make it easier for me to help configure my friends networks if there was.

-I do not have a wireless router, it is just a cable hooked to my modem hooked to my computer

-On ipconfig it says that I have only an ip adress and a subnet mask and the physical adress

-My subnet mask is 255.255.0.0

-I have comcast so I put in comcast's dns suffix adress: hsd1.ut.comcast.net, but it still didn't work so im not using it.

-I have tried copying the Ip adress, Gateway,and subnet mask and stuff from this laptop but it still won't work

When I go to see the computers on my workgroup, it gives me this error "(Workgroup name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. (Two blank lines) The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available." Can anyone tells me what this means, practically, in laymen's terms?

Usually my connection is ok, but sometimes (maybe once every few weeks) it just disconnects suddenly.

If there is too much traffic, then I thought I would not have been able to log-on in the first place.
