Alright be sure to let us know if it's solved!

Pretty much have to use whatever IP the ISP assigns to you. You can subnet that though

I don't think you can really do that. You say you already have an 8 port router? Use that sir. Anything else, even if it could be done (which I highly doubt), is just asking for a headache like...

You need to find out the model NIC you have. There should be a sticker on your NIC itself, or maybe printed on it, the make and model. Once you have that, then report back here and I'll help you find...

I'm thinking 35 computers?

I could have swore I posted to this but I don't see my post anywhere...funny.

Anyway, you'll need to download the drivers on a computer with a connection and put them on a flash drive or a CD-R...

Well it's going to kick you to the setup page because it's a new install of a wireless router. It assumes that immediately upon installation you want to configure your new wireless network. I'd just...

I wouldn't use MSN for something large like that. Try finding one of those free file storage places (I think dropbox.com may be one of them) and upload it to there then let your friend download it...

If you've been given this project, then your instructur has already given you the knowledge. He's not going to assign you something to do without having gone over the material with you and given you...

What kind of content? Does it require robust security, as in sensitive stuff, or just homework/pictures/music, etc? Windows Live Messenger is probably fine for what you need. It also depends on how...

Yeah, pretty obvious one - drivers. Get the proper drivers for it and load them on a CD/flash drive and plug that into the notebook and manually install the drivers that way.

Read the forum rules. We aren't here to do your homework for you. Figure it out on your own.

Is there any particular need to use static IP's? I would just let DHCP take care of it and let the objects on your network ARP to their little mechanical hearts content.

How many computers do you have, and what kind of bandwidth are you using/needing? You may very well have a fine connection, as in the fractional T3 is more than sufficient to carry your network, so...

DHCP is disabled on your notebook. That may be an issue. Try turning it on (should be an option on the settings for your wireless NIC).

Yeah man gotta network that printer one way or another. If the host computer is ever turned off, then the printer will need to be standalone - it's own connection, IP, etc.

You said he just upgraded the systems - what exactly did he upgrade? Hardware, software? Was the upgrade done on all 3 machines, was it done on a single router, what exactly? The problem obviously is...

Your post is a bit difficult to understand - if I can make sense of what you said, you have 3 computers in different parts of a single house and you want to connect them, right? If that is the case,...

There are 8 bits in a byte. 8 bits to 1 byte.
