I'm wondering if anyone please can help a tech-unsavvy newbie? Currently, my desktop is connected (via ethernet cable) to my cable provider, via the Motorola SB5100 Surfboard they provided. However, I've an old unused D-Link G604T ADSL wireless router, which I have from my former ADSL provider. I'd like to link my laptop to the network, and I'm wondering if I can use that D-Link ADSL as my router.

I am a network engineer that hasn't configured a router in about six months and since I got back in the game it seems they have changed things. I recently got my company a fiber internet connection and they sent me the IP configuration information and I have to say I am a bit lost. What does it mean when they send you The IP address at your interface needs to be IP x.x.x.x/30 (x=ip address) for the IP address to assign to your interface? Please help!!!

I suddenly out of nowhere lost my internet connection (university LAN), but I still can connect to computers on my residential network through my network places. I tested the internet connection and it works for other computers, so no problem there. Also there is no software problem because I reformated the computer and installed the network card drivers fresh and the problem is still there.

The only thing left I suppose is a problem with the network card. Is it possible that they can go bad and lose internet connectivity but allow connection to other computers in the network?

An office complex is four stories high. Each floor is roughly 75 meters (yards) by 75 meters. The company wants to create a wireless LAN for the entire complex. Which wireless LAN technology would you recommend? Where would you place the access points? Where would you place the wired backbone?

I dunno if this is supposed to happen or not but I can't seem to have my Internet on and my PS3's online running at the same time. If I'm using my PS3 online then my laptop wont get a wireless signal, and vise versa. Also when I go on my laptop, then I have to unplug and replug my router to get my PS3 to work once I put my laptop to sleep....Thats not normal right? Any suggestions?

I have a peculiar issue:

I can plug my computer into the internet at the library and behind a friend's router (which goes to the same dns server) and my internet works fine; however, when I try to plug my computer in directly, I have odd behavior:

Sometimes the IP takes a while to e acquired, other times the IP is acquired correctly (not the MS one) but I can't do an nslookup or access the web...


Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Anyone know what the IP is to connect to a router?? My buddy has told me a few times but I never remeber it. It takes you directly to your router settings where you change security settings, stuff like that.

I just bought a Linksys router and I am going to hook it up to three computers. One is a dell with windows xp, 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 processor, 512 meg memory and an 80 Gig hd. The other two i'm not sure will work because they are older. One is a Gateway with windows xp, 300Mhz Pentium 2 Processor, 384 megs of memory and a 9 Gig hd. The last is a dell with windows 98, Pentium 3 processor, 256 megs of memory, and a 10 gig hd.

I am wondering if it is possible to network these all with the Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I would perfer that only people who have experience in networking answer this question. Any help would be great.

I've been using wifi at my house for years now, but its never been password protected, and it keeps disconnecting and stuff. I'd like to know how to set up a network properly. I should mention that I have a desktop that has to be connected by ethernet. 2 laptops that are wireless. And a PS3, also wireless.

ps. a link would be ideal.
