I know this is a silly question but i am new to this.
In one room we have a desktop pc (windows xp) with a modem connected to a bt phoneline for homecall broadband.
In another room, we have a pc installed with windows 98 not connected to the internet and no modem etc..
Here goes :
I want to do connect the windows 98 pc to the other pc to use the homecall broadband. I know you have to get a router for this but do you need another modem?
Also would you need to connect the windows 98 pc to another phone jack?

Also, if i go into a shop tommorow, what do i ask for to do all this please.

All answers appreciated!!

We are switching from DSL to fiber optic service. The service claims 50 Mbps connection speeds.

I am purchasing a wireless router to accommodate my laptops.

Will a 10/100 router do, or should I go ahead with a 10/100/1000 router?

Obviously option 1 should work...but will I get better performance with the gig?

Also, will the provider supply a modem to convert the fiber optic to Ethernet?

On my laptop- no matter where I am (ex my house, my moms, panera bread, college) the WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION list never shows any connection names it always says, "No wireless networks found in range" Even though the wireless network connected button in the task bar will be on and on mouseover shows the network name and i can access the internet so obviously i am connected. So what the heck is causing this? It's frustrating when I'm in a location with more than one signal and need to choose what I want etc etc... Any help?

My mom got a new wireless router that I am setting up for her. Set-up is Cable Modem, plus a desktop, plus the wireless router for her laptops. The desktop doesn't have a nic card (i took it and havent ever brought it back yet) however she has a linksys usb thing that converts the end of a cat5 cable into a usb.. (if that makes sense... sorry was up all night doing turkey- no sleep) Anyways that is busted and doesn't work well- and always comes lose and ends up being a disaster. SO MY QUESTION- Can I take the cable modem- and use the USB plug on the back of it and connect it to the desktop and at the same time use the cat plug in the back of it and hook that up with the wireless router? When I tried it- the laptop shows that is see's the netgear router and is connected- but can't connect to anything with the laptop. Im connected to the web w/ the desktop- so that part is working- also if i open a browser on the desktop and try to log into the router i get cannot find server

I need to be able to use a laptop and internet from remote rural sites where there is not cell phone service. Dish Network has satellite service, but requires a satellite be mounted on my pickup and then I would have to adjust the dish to receive from the satellite at each location. I would prefer something where I could login quickly. Thanks

I went to watch heroes on NBC the other day but it says i can't access the content from where i live (UK). It has done this on several other sites aswell.

Now barring the obvious solution to move to america (love to if i could)
is there anyway round this?
Would a proxy website work?

How do you limit the bandwidth to other users of a network via a server pc? My pc is accessing the internet directly on 6Mb/s, I also allow other users in my home to use the internet via my network card. I want to limit their bandwidth to say 2Mb/s. The card runs at 100Mb/s

All right I've been trying to set up a home server today so I can get my music wherever I go, and it works when i go to http://localhost/
and it asks for a password (which I set up) and it all works. Problem is when I try to Port Forward Port 80, no one can type in my IP address (with ":80" at the end of it, which really isnt necessary) and come to the server.
I have a Netgear WGR614v6 Wireless Router
Hardware Version: V8
Firmware Version: V1.0.17_1.0.17NA

In command prompt, it showed my IP address as 10.0.0.2 (I know what my Internet Ports IP address is.

So Port Forwarding/Port Triggering, I added a new address with
Service Type: Port Forwarding
Service: HTTP
Port Begin: 80
Port End: 80
IP: 10.0.0.2

It wont work after entering that, what must I do?
