As for me...I did things the easy way when I was first starting with XP Networking...I went with the 10 minute Linux Firewall (there is a tutorial I wrote here on this) using Smoothwall Linux. It...

ick...remote desktop? ew...why do that when transfer speeds for what he wants to do will be so much better and more secure via VPN? There are a ton of holes to punch through with remote desktop...

Ok...one of two ways...Either a VPN (recommended for security) or you would both join the same workgroup, same subnet, and then enable printer and file sharing (full of security holes) and you'd be...

LimeWire's HTTP proxy support only uses HTTP tunneling, proxies don't cache anything transferred over that kind of connections. A cache only caches popular internet files that MOST people go to. ...

Broadband ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) typically offers downstream throughputs of 256kbps to 1Mbps and upstream of 60kbps to 256kbps.

Ensure that you have a 'Local Area Connection' present under control panel >> Network

That's what I did...but I built my own Linux router using spare parts. But then again, that's not what he's doing :mrgreen:

NP...Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :)

This could even be a conflict with hardware as well...there hasn't been any hardware additions to this computer has there? Possibly could be a software driver problem as well...some investigative...

Also...as for the sluggish exchange server...how many clients do you have and have you configured your exchange...

Well...it's rather easy actually.


2 NIC's in the HOST (XP) machine
1 NIC in the CLIENT (2000) machine

Connect the internet to 1 NIC in the XP machine. On the 2nd NIC in the XP machine,...

I never made a network disk for my XP network w/ crossover cable. 2 NICs, one with a manual IP addy, the other connected to the router.

Both machines on the same subnet...the ME computer with...

What email program is it? Do you have an exchange server or is it pop3? IMAP? We need more specifics before answering this...We don't even know what Operating System you're using...more is better,...

I think you may have a different interpretation of what an internet gateway is.

A gateway is a computer that is SERVING host computers...almost like a huge firewall server would. Let's assume...

Have you upgraded the firmware of the router? I've heard a couple of people that bought this router got stuck with an older firmware version and that when they installed the upgrade it worked just...

You would use different subnets and IP ranges on the same physical network to separate them...for instance, if you were to have your router on the 192.168.0.X and your other satellites at 192.168.1.X...

You can also spring for a KVM switch like I did to utilize one monitor and two computers. Works like a top and I keyboard shortcut between the two computers. Streamlines work quite a bit.

Windows 2000 sucks for IP Forwarding. Using RRAS only attempts to change the registry value. If it cannot write to the registry, then the setting wouldn't enable. Give manually setting this value...

A simple reset of your modem should work here.

Unplug your cable modem. Ensure the ethernet cable from the modem is plugged into your router. Ensure your router is turned on. Plug your modem...

Get a port scanning tool and install it on your windows computer. I use angry IP scanner (http://download.com.com/3000-2085-10219888.html?tag=lst-0-1) .

Make it scan your network 192.168.1.1...

Agreed. One disgruntled employee (bad apple) can spoil the lot. Why would they include it in their hardware? Sounds like leaving the key underneath the doormat if you know what I mean...and then...

Interesting article:

Any of you system admins out there with Cisco hardware should give this a serious read.

DMR is right...for instance, my D-Link router uses the default login/passwd of admin/admin

I typed in http://192.168.0.1 (http://192.168.0.1/) in internet explorer...it popped up a login...I used...

A suggestion for you: It's a good idea to include detailed specifications of your systems to give people ammunition to answer questions. An example would be like...

Windows XP Home

go to your network card in the device manager and make sure that you have it set to auto detect and not to full duplex or half duplex...you want it to detect. Also, unplug the cable modem from power...
