MSN isn't dependent on an IP address because the Microsoft has a server directing traffic. There are other scenarios and protocols where this isn't the case. If you connect directly to the other...

You said you think it's windows update, but do you have any evidence windows did an update?

You should be careful with automatic updates on a server, only security updates if anything, and doing...

Even I found these explanations a little confusing, and some of the information isn't quite right, so I'll make it simple:

KBPS (MBPS,GBPS)= kiloybits (megabits, gigabits) per second, this is used...

I looked around a little and this software http://www.printlogger.com/
seems to be recomended. I haven't used it and AM NOT vouching for it personally, but it seems to do what you need for a...

I'm going to take a wild guess this is not an officially sanctioned company project ;). I believe you could do this, but it wouldn't be the most effective way. Just install a proxy server on the...

I would think the msot likely problem is in the IP assignment conflicts. I would try connecting the three wireless routers AND the switch directly to the RV082. Disable DHCP on them so they'll...

Just NOT forwarding ports should do the job. There will be some performance lag, but most people don't have there router ports properly forwarded at home either. Once you start forwarding that port...

What are you trying to do? You shouldn't need the CD ever, and definitely not after first use. All the CD does is help walk you through set-up, which can be done manually by following the set-up...

The problem isn't your computer, it's the routers set-up. It has an excelent signal to the local network, but the network is not connecting to the internet. Restart your router, then your modem, then...

When you don't have DHCP set up ONE system will connect to the internet, I don't know how that one system is chosen, probably by the lowest IP address. You should be able to enable DHCP and simply...

Most firewall software interferes with networking by default. Make sure this network is set to "trusted" or go into the "rules" or "exceptions" section of the firewall settings and make set a...

Internet connection sharing is great, but not always practical.

You need to:
a. Be able to run the cable, or do wireless and have a router (I know you can ad-hoc wireless but it's a pain)
b....

Assuming I'm reading your question right...

It depends on the service and the modem. If your modem has DHCP built in or your ISP assigns multiple IP addresses then it's probably a matter of...

+1 to JBennet, you'll probably want wireless so you'll need a router (for this simple configuration any one will do) and a wireless adapter for the computer in your bedroom.

Buy a router, read the...

Did it work and then stop working, or were you unable tog get it going again when you switched it from your Mac to your Router?

That sounds to me like a defective modem, contact verizon and they can check your modems logs to see if your modem has been properly connected to their network.

I just checked out my modem and the link light flashes. That's normal behavior.

If you're sure that the issue is the modem call comcast. They can do diagnostics form their end and tell you the...

open a command prompt and IPCONFIG, see if you have a default gateway and what it is. If you do enter the IP address into a browser window and access the settings of your router. Look around and see...

Weak signal strength causes:
Deadspots
corrupt packets
vulnerability to interference
intermittent connectivity
lower throughput
and on some level added latency, since you are bound to have to...

What kind of internet connection do you have and is it share?

This is probably the difference between your connection under load and not under load, consider these factors:

1. Speed tests are...

go to the network settings page, scroll about half way down and uncheck the "Enable DHCP Server:" box

In the DHCP section is there a check-box that says use router as DHCP server?

If so uncheck it.

If not then go to the DHCP settings page, Prt Scrn, paste into paint, save as a jpeg, and attatch...

We got that part, to paraphrase zeroth for you:

Take the ethernet cable connecting your modem/router to your wireless router, disconnect it from the WAN port and just connect it to one of the LAN...

It should be the username and password from the laptop.

Are you actually talking about pinging? I've never heard of authenticated pinging. Do you mean when you try to access the shared resources?...

N is completely backwards compatible with B&G networks.

I've never heard of a case where G had better range than N (Maybe the very early draft N products) but most of the range enhancing features...

Zeroth reminded me of one, potentially major, issue. You're going to be putting 18-27 routers in a building with 50-90 users. This means 2-3 routers and up to 10 users on each channel. BIG...

If it's in your budget allows it get N anyway, it allows futureproofing an also provides better range for existing G devices (not a whole lot better but I noticed about a 20-50% increase in...

If you're not sure, go with automatic configuration. In pretty much any situation if you're not sure what the manual configuration means you're better off not messing with it.

Steps for diagnosing lack of ethernet conectivity;

1. Plug the cable into a different port on your access point (router, hub, modem, or switch)
2. Try a different cable.
3. Plug cable into a...

You wouldn't necessarily need a server, a good network switch would probably do the job (If you could shave a couple routers off of this estimate you could get by with a single 24 port, but you may...

You don't necessarily need to turn off DHCP and use it as a switch. I've daisy chained routers in certain situations (mainly temporarily while making network changes or to provide a wireless...

Man, that's quite a project.

I don't mean to sound snide, but how did you get to be the admin for a company with such complicated networks if you don't know how to do this? I'd have to do a fair...

I'd suggest saving yourself a lot of trouble and get a cheap router, switch, or hub to put between them. It will make it a whole lot less complicated and let you share internet connectivity at the...

You might be able to simply output a text file in a format that the server can understand and either host it as some kind of shared resource or send it to the server.

Perhaps having a shared...

Depends on where you are. You can resell for another ISP (at least in the US) where all you have to do is set up the sales and provide technical support, the wholesale ISP will maintain the lines for...

More often than not you'll spend more on repeaters than just upgrading to Wireless N. If you're talking about moving the router that's a whole other story, but if you're just trying to get a strong...

He already reset winsock and TCP/IP. He is obviously connected to the internet/network since web services other than browsers work and he's able to ping, and this is a common problem when...

I just resolved this problem for a client, and thought I'd go back and post the info on the threads I ran across looking.

It's probably an issue with anti-virus software, usually Symantic...

in a web browser go to your routers controlpage. Usually http://192.168.1.1, 191.168.2.1, 192.168.10.1, 127.0.0.1, ect.) you can find it (if you don't know it) by going to a command propmt and...

You can't install two residential modems on one line (might be technically possible, but phone company wouldn't let you). What you can do is use Home PNA networking (google it, it can be hard to find...
