Is router 2 connected to the internet as well? If it is, then you can't do it with what you have. What you're trying to do if in case router 2 is also online is called multi-homing. This normally used for fail-over solutions like when one connection is down, while …

[B]This happens with anyone of the following: Checklist:[/B] 1. Most of the time this is a [B]wireless security issue[/B]. When you view available wireless networks and see a pad lock on the network you want to connect to, then you need a network key that you can get on the …

I'm guessing that your using a Linksys wireless gateway (which is actually just a wireless access point with DSL or cable modem functions) OR you have a modem which is connected to a linksys wireless router. If you are and you're using DSL, there's a setting on the router's set-up …

They need to have the same workgroup name. if you go to start > run > type the IP address of the other computer "\\x.x.x.x" it should either say not accessible or you do not have access or it could present you a username and password. if you get a …

get a new firmware flashed on the modem. these have updates that are not always automatic. If you're computer works elsewhere then it's not the computer that you should be worried about. I'd consider getting Verizon to test the line from their end. Of course they might say that nothing …

try to measure the ping time as well. anything over 800-1000ms ping time is bound to time out 50-75% of pings. if this is the case, then it might very well be a provider issue rather than a line issue. if they never had this issue before, then i'd look …

This is probably a modem issue and/or filters. From the wall phone line port, connect a wire directly to the modem. Make sure no or other device is in between the modem and the wall phone port. goose can be right, there might be a phone filter in between, or …

I'm guessing that you wired the 2 routers together connecting router 1 to router 2 using the Internet or WAN port. If this is how you did it, then those connected to router 1 won't be able to talk to those computers in router 2. Having the same IP and …

get a router so you can network the computer together and get to the internet at the same time. if you only need the network then don't connect anything to the WAN or Internet port on the router. you also get DHCP on the router, which mean your dont have …

If he can get online elsewhere then there's no problem with the card. There might be a problem with the signal from where you're at. He might be getting a better signal at his friend's house. You dont want to waste your time taking the card back and maybe trying …

I've seen this many times before and I believe that your problem may very well a firewall related one. You may be running Zone Alarm Pro or any other software firewall that's preventing internet access since it detects another computer accessing services on your main computer. Turn-off the software firewall …

Graham - This could either be a microsoft browser update problem that affected your internet connection. Try downloading mozilla firefox. I'm almost 100% sure it's going to work. if it does, then we know it an IE version 7 update problem or maybe some Vista security update problem. Also if …

if you connect a router to your main router, then anything that can connect to your secondary router can get online as well. If I were the neighbor, i'd get into the 2nd router using wep since it's connected to the main router anyway. You need to set-up WEP on …

In your case, since the other computer and the router never moved, and that you just added a new wireless computer, i would …
