Computer Networking - December 2007

I've reset the ip, I've called the service technition. My eithernet worked before I went away on vacation but now it does not seem to want to connect to anything.

Says it is connected but is not recieving packets. Can not get a responce when pining the modem or router even though it is plugged in.

What do I do?

Some friends are finally getting broadband cable internet. They have two computers that they want hooked up to it. When they asked the provider about it they were told to get a router to connect the 2 pcs to the same modem. So how do i know what i am looking for when i am looking on ebay for them? Thanks in advance.

I have networked the two PC's, but I can't seem to get the laptop into the network.

Any Suggestions?

I would like to know how a typical client, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox browser, would react if I create duplicate A Records to point one domain name, such as www.abc.com, to two IP addresses, say IP1 and IP2, which ultimately will reach the same server through a router that owns the two IPs. Will that result in an automatic fail-over, meaning that if IP1's connection is down, the client will automatically try to reach www.abc.com through IP2. Or will that only result in random access, meaning that the client will randomly choose from IP1/IP2 to use and if the one chosen is down, will still result in failure to connect?

I have two computers at home in the same room that I want connected to the internet, but not simultaneously. I want it where I can switch connections between computers, instead of having them both connected at the same time.

Currently, when I want to switch between computers, I have to unplug one from the cable modem, and plug the other into it. I want to be able to do this at the push of a button instead.

I have a DSL connection. I have my modem connected via USB. I just got a Belkin N wireless router . I connected my computer networkingcable to the wired computer portion of the wireless router. I then connected the other networking cable to the router and modem via the modem port. then plugged everything in. I left the modem USB cord connected but was unable to connect to the interent. I tired unplugging the cord and the same thing happened. Is the problem due to my modem being connected via USB. I tried connecting my modem via ethernet but am unable to get an internet connection that way. Do I have to set up my modem for ethernet before I can get this wireless router to work? I have a westall modem.

I was posting a comment on a website then the webmistress just wrongfully bashed me for some odd reason by saying, "Kristin M.(me), talo, Stuck & Stitch, who are you trying to fool here? posting under different nicknames with the same ip… god your f***ing pathetic.". What is she talking about when she says "IP"?

Here is my config setting. I have a cable modem connectted to a wireless router. I have a SBS 2003 connected to the wireless router. I have 1 pc hard wired to router and 3 wireless pc.s I also have one wireless pc that I don't want accessing the SBS.
I was able to set up the wireless connection, users, etc.
When I try to connect the cliet pc using the http:/server/connection I get the following error

"The list of users and computers cannot be found before continue ensure network.... Also if you have a router performing DHCP servies on your network. Verify the router is configured to use the coumpter running SBS. as the primary DNS server. ..."

I am at witts end figuring out IP addresses DHCP etc.

Anyone have any good web sites on how to set up the ip and client connections or can tell me how to?

I have surfed to confusion.

Thanks

Before I go ahead and make the mistake of buying some obscure product that happens to have "wireless" and "PC Card" in it's title, I wanted to check in here.

I've got a cable modem and a router already hooked up in my house. I've got the adapter installed on my desktop, I get internet, everything is peachy.

I've also got a second-hand laptop that doesn't have a wireless card installed thus making it sort of useless. I'd like to be able to, like a normal person, take my laptop wherever I want (including in my home) and use the internet (wherever a WiFi connection is available). I don't want to do one of those "Sign up and get internet for 2 years" deals -- just a card to plug into my laptop and search for existing wireless networks in the area and hop on the internet.

So, what am I looking for exactly? Can anyone link me to a relatively inexpensive example of the product I'm in the market for?
