Computer Networking - November 2007

Hello,
I have a windows vista laptop with inbuilt wireless, and have a dell pc (dimension 2400) recently wiped it and reinstalled with recovery disk provided by dell when i bought it.
I have a speedtouch 330 dial up broadband router,
I have established internet with this when its connected to the dell pc.
I bought a belkin adsl 2 + modem with wireless-G router to make a network,
I dont know where to start as i am inexperienced with vista.
currently I have the filter plugged in etc with internet working on the dell, but would like to connect the dell pc directly to the Belkin router and let the laptop connect to it wirelessly.
It connects to the router but is "local only" even when the adsl phone line is directly plugged into the router.
thanks
Sorry for being so confusing.
The Pmiester

I'm planning on getting a wireless network and a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, and obviously the network operates on 2.4 GHz. So if i get the "Kensington PilotBoard Wireless Laser Desktop" will things be messed up? I'm also going to get the "Belkin F5D8233-4 Wireless-N Broadband Router" along with belkin adapters. I'm new to networking and all this so any info would be a great help.

Hi everyone, I'm not new to wireless networking however I am looking to buy a product that will allow me to get an even higher connection speed. My current maximum is 54 mbps, and I want at least 100 mbps and I recently discovered some products that can deliver some higher connection speeds but I was wondering if the high speed is a combination of my pci card and my router. If i buy a newer, better pci card then will I have to buy a new router to experience the fastest connection speeds?
I currently have a Linksys WRT54G router, so if I put the new PCI card in my computer and connected to the wireless network would I experience faster connection speeds or would I have to buy a new router as well?
Thank you and here's the link to the new PCI card I want:

Router is wrt54g wireless router from linksys.

I already have a wireless router, but I am getting a gaming laptop and I think wired speeds would be better for that, but my wireless router is stuck in one corner of the house, and my wireless router and modem are right next to each other. I was wondering whether I should attach the new wired router to my existing wireless router (that has 4 ethernet ports) or if I should attach it directly to my modem?

If you don't understand it, You could also put it like this: I am running out of wired ethernet ports on my wireless router. I figured that a wired router would fix that. Should I hook the new wired router up to my router (so that they will be connected to the same network) or should I attach it to my modem?

I have an Acer Aspire 3100+ with Windows Xp and Service Pack 2. For some reason, it doesn't detect any wireless networks out there. It has a built in wireless card which is a "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" it shows the device is working properly. I have two other computers : a desktop and a wireless Dell that are connected to the internet. The desktop is wired on it. I'm using a U.S Robotics USR5461 wireless router with AT&T DSL connection. I have searched everywhere to see how to get this laptop connected wirelessly but still nothing worked. One thing though: I went to the Services option in Adminstrative Tools (Control Panel) to Enable the "Windows Zero Configuration Utility". It showed that it was already 'Automatic' and 'Started'. This is supposed to make a "Windows Zero Configuration Utility" icon when I go to Control Panel. But there is no such icon there. I know there its supposed to be because I saw it my Dell laptop. My router has also set all wireless devices to connect

Okay.
Me, on this computer I am hooked to the end of a cable serving DHCP. I have an internal non-routable ip address of 192.168.1.whatever. In turn that is translated to a static public IP-address served to us by a local company who in turn gets their IPs and bandwidth from At+t. That's as far as I can figure it.
I would like to know who or what lies at the root of the IP tree. What system or organization makes sure that the four and a quarter billion available addresses don't collide?

I have an XP computer and I just bought a computer with Vista preinstalled. The printer is connected to the XP computer so there's no way out of getting out of connecting to it.
I installed on the vista the LLTD protocol and made sure that the file and printer sharing was on the exclusion list in the Windows Firewall.
Neither the "View Full Map" in the Network and Sharing Center nor the "Network" show my XP computer. I have tried every single thing I know or found from the internet but.. NOTHING.
I really need your help, please.

I recently visited Jordan and while there, somebody else (a so called expert) changed my internet settings so that I could access a local network. Unfortunately, now I'm back in the UK I can't connect to my home network. My connection manager can 'see' the network and even says it is connected, but when I use IE or Firefox I get nothing (page cannot be displayed/proxy server refusing connections). I have a BT home hub and have accessed the admin area and looked at the settings, everything appears to be fine. I have checked the WEP keys are correct, rebooted, disabled firewalls, etc and can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a classic hub that does NOT have switching technology. An article I read a while back stated that a switched/hub is more efficient for a little home network. Should I invest in a switch/hub and discard my loyal, trusted Hub-only technology? What is the benefit of the switch technology?
