Sorry, the capability to "Bridge" adaptors was introduced with Windows XP. There is usually another way to set it up through.

You need to provide us more information about how your network is setup. By offices I presume you mean within the building not remote offices. What exactly do you mean by "can't see the server" can...

In this configuration, you have to connect all the hardwired PCs to the LAN ports on the router. You also must disable DHCP on the router. ICS provides DHCP services to all the PCs that are sharing...

Actually, I have one. I was figuring sub interfaces on the inside, because he's trying to keep on the cheap. But you're right the hardware you suggest would work well if he can swing all the pieces.

Hehehe, Hi Alc. That's kind of what I meant by misconfigured. Since the setup used ICS, ICS needs to be the only dhcp server on the block. The router should be acting only as a switch/bridge....

The problem that you face is, you will not know for a fact if it will work or not until you actually buy the equipment, install it properly and see what happens. That's wireless. Since you are new to...

The two subnet requirement takes you right out of the low end dsl type router bracket. I would suggest you try to get a deal on a used cisco 1500 or 1600 series. They are at least well documented and...

The 2 bluetooth adaptors will work in theory. Whether the distance and connection will be ok is dicey. Has much to do with site conditions.

For this to be true, you have something else misconfigured. In this type of setup, the router is not routing it's acting only as a wireless bridge so it's IP address is meaningless. The only...

He can't ask them because he is stealing their bandwidth. Kind of like asking the cops to help you find your pot, so he's trying to get you to do it. My comment was not about his problem, because he...

And this folks, is why you need to learn to setup security and encryption on your wireless routers.

Also make sure you're not running any protocols on the 98 machines other than tcpIP,you will often find Netbuei lurking in there. And yes definetly, dump the Internet connection sharing and get a...

The ADMIN$ share is a standard windows share that is automatically created. Look in Control Panel/Computer Management/Shared Folders/Shared and see if it's there. If not, something has corrupted you...

You should not put two network interfaces from a PC on the same network. From your description, it sounds like you have both of them somehow connecting to the same router. Even if they have different...

I suspect the problem is that the secure protocol that is being used when she tries to enter the site does not like the fact that the first machine is altering the packet. It has to do this in order...

If you go through the Add printer wizard and then point to network printer and browse to the printer you want, it should just go easily. The drivers have to be right if they are both using XP. The...

I would suggest that you try doing an extended ping with loaded packets to your ISP's default gateway and then to a known responder. You may have a connection problem despite what the techs said. Do...

I was not talking about XP's remote desktop feature. I was talking about 3rd party remote desktop software in a generic sense. Only about 1 packet in 7 in a VPN actually goes into data transfer and...

That is very interesting. I have never seen a case where a bad motherboard caused an external network adaptor to stop working unless there was some other kind of indication; Like not seeing the...

You can use remote desktop control software for this sort of thing. Then you don't have to mess with Windows networking.

Well, flashing the bios is always a dicey thing to do. I absolutely never recommend doing it unless you have to. Is the network adaptor in this board built in? Have you tried another adaptor?

Does it print a test page ok? How good is your link? If you have a good wireless link, then there is nothing about the setup that should cause you problems. Try printing something really small. If...

Are you using network connection sharing?

Well, I wish uninstalling things from MS was as simple as that. My experience has been that uninstalling service packs is a great way to insure that things will never work again. SP2 does work. I...

Try this fix from PCHell.com

If you are receiving this error, you should run the Microsoft patch (KB884020)...

Well, there is a huge difference between "limited" and "no connectivity". How are you determining this? Obviously you're not able to get to the Internet. Can you ping the machine that is sharing the...

See my response to Dark_Omen today.

It's pretty easy if they all three are XP. On each computer Right click on My Computer and select properties. Then identification. Make sure they all have different names and the same workgroup name....

I'm sorry for taking so long, I haven't been around much lately because I'm getting a new software release out. Ugh! You need to set up MS Networking on both computer then share the printer from the...

It is certainly possible and commonly done, the wireless part of your question is irrelevent. If the printer is connected to another computer on the wireless network then you simply share the printer...

If you're writing an application to do this, then this isn't the right forum for your question.

All of these little routers allow you set a static internal IP address for yourself. All you need to do is look at the address pool that the router is assigning like 192.168.1.50 - 192.168.1.100 and...

Right. Of course that still leaves you with lots of options, :) but you don't need to worry about the rest. Do an IPconfig from a command prompt and see what you get. Is your OS XP home or...

This would almost certainly be an issue with the Sonic Wall configuration then. Regrettably Sonic Wall is not one that I am familiar with so I can't help explicitly, but if the address range at one...

I would either plug this PC into a known good working connection or take a known good working PC and try it on this PCs connection, cable and all. At least this will narrow the problem to the PC or...

AFAIK they shouldn't be routed at all while in tunnel session. What kind of VPN do you have set up? Is the VPN client at the remote office router based? I.E. does the tunnel information stop at the...

If I understand you right, you have the Linksys now sitting between your laptops and your lan. This puts them on a different network than the rest of your lan. I presume your Wireless has a built in...

I'm not really sure from your description what's happening, all I can say is, a VPN client MUST get it's IP address from the tunnel connection, because that is address it uses during the tunnel...

In order to serve anything to anybody, the server service must be running. It is set to run by default on all MS operating systems. If it's not running, then you must determine why it's not. Give us...

When did radios start handing out IP addresses?
