That is exactly what I just said. Stop copying people's posts. Give your own suggestions.

This was posted 2 1/2 years ago, I don't think the original poster will reply.

ok, to the original poster. You need to give us more details. What you said is not nearly enough. What is the exact problem? what router are you using? What are you trying to do that doesn't work?...

a network is already created if you can access all the PC's. I would create a different user to be able to login remotely, since you wouldn't want to give everyone access to the server. Like stated...

>what is your external IP?

not a good idea to give out your address like that. Very likely that you'll be hacked.

I'd look into using apache, as it is in many ways better than IIS.

it's spelled "cheap". It would be better for that computer to be connected to the router directly. Is there a specific reason why you need to do it this way? You could buy a 50ft cable of the net for...

linksys with dd-wrt firmware.

are you using internet sharing in windows?

>why don't you ask bill gates that

like he's gonna know. He's a business man, hasn't coded in decades.

but you lose bandwtidth when sharing a connection, so yeah.

have you tried pinging other computers? have you tried pinging the router? have you checked your network connections?

If one computer was "taking it all" the other one wouldn't be able to connect at all. It's slow because it has to go through the computer, then through the router, and wirelessly to your computer....

you should probably post this in the linux forum then.
i've looked online and it seems that there's not a linux driver for your card. You might want to look more into it because there has to be a...

netgear has worked good for me in the past. but i prefer linksys with custom dd-wrt firmware.

>painful? I have never had trouble with networking techsupport

I'm surprised because it's always a negative experience for me.

>Is there any other ways? It is too late to return the router, so I guess I am stuck with this setup.

like I said, if you just want to remote into your work computer, logmein.com is a free...

that's all advanced. If you just want to remote into your office computer, I recommend www.logmein.com
Gives you free access to your computers.

>why not call the router's techsupport?

because it's painful. Make sure you have your modem connected to the WAN port on the router. Then check your network cable that goes to your computer....

in vista i think you need to mess around with the networking features. i can't remeber but i think there's a specific option that enables you to look at other workgroup computers.

serve-u ftp is good too, and free.

>Though the 360 isn't a exactly a computer running the same OS, networking is networking, right?

the 360 does not run vista, but it uses tcp/ip. don't use crossover cables if you're using a...

ok, so I've successfuly flashed the firmware with DD-WRT. Now I need to setup the router to be a client to the other router and it is, but I still can't connect to the other network.

the easiest thing to do would be to reset your router.

Hey glenno,

You need to configure your router to forwared ports 80 and 21 to your web server. You don't need to do anything to the modem. As for the subnet question, I don't think they need to be...

i'm not buying another router, i'm trading my netgear for it. I'm puttin wrt-dd or whatever it's called on it. I know it'll have more options available.

i'm trading my netgear router for a linksys, so i dont' have to spend more money.

I know the cheap router can accept ap's and stuff, so i'm thinking of getting a linksys router and putting dd-wrt on it. would this work?

ok thanks guys.
I guess I need to be a bit more specific. the "weird" router was provided by the isp, so I don't know what brand it is. It's actually my neighboor's router. What I'm trying to do is...

Ok, so I'm trying to bridge two wireless routers together. one router is some wierd brand, and it's currently the only router on the network. I have a WGT624 netgear router that is in a separate...

that last part is suspicious. if you don't get and address, you can't connect to the internet. you might have a trojan.

Also, when you mess around with the enviormental variables, it causes the...

i've never seen anything like that actually. i'm sure it exists. you can always buy those little usb antenas that you can hook up to your computer. they're supposed to pickup signals from farther...

bobbyraw, I didn't say there wans't a 2002 version, I said there wasnt' a 2000 version.

first of all, there is no such thing as 2000 xp media center edition. XP came out in 2001 and media center came out in 2003. Second, the internet never stopped working, but you're connection was the...

so what is it that you want to do? i don't understand your question.

how about using windows vpn wizard

it could be a defective nic. my teacher had a nic that when plugged into a network, would flood it completley and shut it down within 10 seconds.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by that.

just because the drivers aren't digitaly signe, doesn't mean they won't work in windows. So go ahead and reinstall the drivers.

and since this is a site for technical discussion, and we're trying to have a professional enviornment, shyam_etrx, can you please spell out words and use proper english?

>Im sorry if i am a pain

that's alright, we're all here to learn.
Now you should ping the xp machine from the vista one.
