Computer Networking - December 2007

Ok so i've been trying to work this out over the last few days, I have a Homehub from BT and it has the Hub Phone which is basically VOIP, now it has a normal phone connector on the back so what would stop me connecting to another ADSL service through this "line". Now i know there are differences between VOIP and broadband, but Dialup and Adsl both use "noise" to send information, surely u could send this straight down a VOIP "line" and theoretically if you could do this u could do it again with anohter VOIP service within the First?

I know you cant do it at the moment but i'd really like to know why as i cant stop wondering. Thanks to anyone that can make sense of my question lol

My desktop computer upstairs doesn't have internet, and I would like to get wireless. The laptop I'm using right now has wireless, and it's downstairs. I'm not very tech savy, but I heard of this "chip" that you can get to get wireless internet. Where can I buy it, how much does it cost, and is that the only thing nessicary I need to get internet? Connection wise, I would like to either use the laptops wireless connection or use a neighboors, I looked at the connections available on my laptop and theres a ton. Would it work upstairs?

We have set up a wireless network in our home, but we are having a problem, we currently have 2 wireless laptops connected and they are working fine, we also have a desktop directly plugged into the router, but we are trying to add an extra laptop, it is running Windows XP, the Laptops are running Windows Vista Home Premium and the desktop is also running XP, the problem is when we try to connect to the Xp Laptop we can connect and it days the laptop is connected to the network, but we still can't get in the internet with it, and we checked and the Work Offline box is unticked. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I'm setting up a wireless network for a school they have a wireless router and wireless access point. Both are set to the same WPA2 encryption, but each is set to a different SSID, the Router is "R1" and the wireless access point down the hall is set to "WAP1".

My question would it be better to give them the same SSID so it would be work and appear as one device that covers a large area or would giving them the same SSID cause a conflict?

My computer is connected to the Internet by using a D-Link wireless adaptor plugged into one of my USB ports, and it gets its connection wirelessly to my 2-Wire gateway that AT&T Yahoo provided for our DSL.
My connection strength is always shown on the computer as being 100% or close to it. However, at random times I will not be able to connect to the Internet until I run the Network Diagnostics tool in IE7 to reconnect myself, or wait a few minutes and try again. My wireless signal strength is still at maximum during these disconnects, and I never get disconnected during a download. I am still capable of using the Internet, but it is such a pain in the butt to have to reconnect every few minutes or so.

Many thanks to whoever can help me make sure my connection is working all of the time. I don't know whether the problem comes from the D-Link adaptor, the 2-Wire gateway, or maybe both.

I'm granted open access to my apartments internet wireless network for my home desktop PC. Up until one week ago, everything connected well and I had no troubles. Now, anytime I try to connect, I'm authenticated, my IP renews as it always has, I'm assigned my DCHP etc, but my connections now hang up at their wireless point, and won't actually pass me through to the World Wide Web. I've tried repairing my connections multiple times over the last week, and my computer seems to be sending it's packets of data to the routers/wireless points, but I'm hardly receiving any data packets back from their wireless point. It stalls out at about 10-14 packets received while my computer continues to transmit data packets.

I've spoken to a friend living in the adjacent building, and she allowed me to try and connect to her network as well but I got almost identical results. Everything gets held up at the wireless point, and won't actually pass me through to the internet.

I'm at a complete loss.

HELP! I have two desktops and one laptop, and I am trying to set up a wireless connection so that all 3 of them can use the internet at the same time. The laptop and one of the desktop have a wireless adapter installed in them. The other desktop needs to be wired directly to the modem. I have a DSL/Broadband connection. They were all working, and then I moved and had to change ISP, and it hasn't worked since then.

Any information (pref. step by step) would be greatly appreciated! :)

THANK

OH, BTW, all 3 system are running Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Linux is HORRIBLE when it comes to setup a wireless connection. It is a real nightmare to make it work. WHY Dell is loading his PCs with linux? Linux is NOT wireless friendly. If I was a Dell shareholder I will sell my shares right away. ANOTHER bad move of Dell. :)

Here's my experience trying to get my wireless card D-Link-G132 working with linux. First let me tell you that the DWL-G132 is one of the most powerful & expensive wireless card on the market. You will imagine it will be supported by linux ??:)

I download Ubuntu 7.10. But bizarrely won't ask for a root password during the installation.
The card was not supported after battling for 3 hours. Tried Ndiswrapper 1.51 amd Madwifi. Not working. Also could not go to the "SU" I bet you have an idea why??LOL

Tried Mandriva 8 came very close to get it working. But it failed
Mandriva does not allow the "make install" of ndiswrapper 1.51. Why? No idea. I had no issue with Fedora 8 to make install.

Finally tried Fedora 8. The reboot of Fedora 8 was full of errors but finally loaded. Fedora 8 had about 25 wireless cards but of course mine was not supported.
Tried to install Ndisrapper however The Kernel shows errors. Linux STOP Copying Windows and make WIRELESS FRIENDLY. .God.

I just set up my wireless router. I do not like where it is and am going to move it. I have to unplug the power cord though. If I do that will I have to set up the router all over again?

It is a Linksys WRT54G

I don't have a static IP.
Being not a knower when it comes to those things, I would assume that I am tracked by my IP address, so if this changes every time I access the internet, then I should be viewed as a different person by Google or anyone who has the potential to gain personal information about my internet activities.

Why is this assumption wrong and how will anyone track me as a single person, anyway?
Thanks in advance!

Usually, in places like a University residence there are some restrictions when it comes to internet: people can access the internet but cannot use programs like Torrent or p2p clients and sometimes VoIP phones.. My question is:

Technically, how does the system understands that I'm using DC++, uTorrent, VoipBuster or whatever ?!

(And if someone knows by the way: Is it possible to overide this restriction by using programs like Tor or Privoxy?!)

Thank you in advance!

I have comcast cable modem and they boast a speed of 6 megs and have an upgrade for 8 megs. AT&T told me that they have a 3 and 6 meg package, but due to my location i can only get the 3 meg speed. AT&T also told me that although comcast has the 6 and 8 meg speeds, because they are cable, those speeds are usually bogged down to 3-4 megs due to the number of people using it, and that i'll only get that optimum speed at 3 in the morning when everyone is asleep. AT&kT also said that because they are a DSL service, their speeds never get bogged down.
The problem is that i want to buy the playstation 3 and my friend swears up and down that people with DSL always have lag time problems when they play online with the ps3.
So any computer experts on here that can help me make a decision? I also want to watch movies and the like online and download animes and stuff from my veohtv beta.

how do I find the appropriate drivers or software for the router and how do I set the router up? I have had the router connected to my laptop via an Ethernet cable through one of of the LAN ports and it shows there is a connection. I just cant connect to my ISP. AS I've got cable, I do not need to connect using a user name/password. Thanks
