I have a broadband point in my room (student accommodation) and a laptop that has a 56K modem. Would I get a faster connection if I used a wireless router to connect wirelessly to the broadband connection rather than just a standard phone cable (will a normal phone cable do?) connected between the point and my laptop? My laptop has Wi-Fi. Any advice would be much appreciated as I don’t really have clue. Thanks!!!

I have the usb version of the sprint mobile broadband modem, and right now it is connected to my computer via doggel. The doggel has an extension for another usb port. Can I use that to connect to xbox live?

I have and x box 360, an Ethernet cord, a bright net high speed modem, and I would like to know how can you get x box live working by connecting the Ethernet cord straight into the back of the modem?

i am new in this i got adsl line at home but idon’tt know how to connect it to my network , idon’tt have networksockett in wall but when i asked my ISP they said that the line i working already , so please if anyone know how to connect this line to tell me from the beginningg

Is there any way I can plug my ethernet cable into my Xbox and my Laptop to connect to XBox Live? Or does it only work if I plug the other end directly into the modem in my living room?

I have just moved into a home that was prewired for a home network using Cat5e and a USTec home run center. All connections inculding phone, network and cable TV come to the UStec box. The bad part is the previous owner did not install the home network compoents in the UStec box. This should be easy enough. I thought I would put my own router and DSL modem in the box and just make the RJ45 connections on the cable, which I’ve done. The problem now seems to me that I can’t get a signal to the Modem. The phone section of the panel is configured with one inline and 8 pluges that are output lines; meaning that each one goes to phone in the house. When I pull the plug from an out port and plug my DSL modem I am expecting a signal just like I get when I plug into the phone wall outlet; what I get is nothing, no DSL signal. Am I don’t this correctly? if not please explain.

my cable is not long enough so i am getting this one do you think this will work? it sounds like a stupid question but i just wanna make sure i want to play Modern warfare 2 really badly lol

I am able to connect to the net with other computers on my networkl but my laptop can not. I have tried to connect via wireless and CAT5 and neither is working. I am running xp. I have not deleted anythinig do I dont think it is a socket error.

I have a CAT5 crossover cable to hook the two up. I cannot connect the PC to the router unfortunately. I have installed the LLTD update on the XP desktop. When I connect the two via crossover, the laptop-Vista will not recognize the desktop-XP. I cannot figure out how to get this to work so I would appreciate any step-by-step help.

I just moved into a new apartment and my computer won’t pick up the wireless signal so I bought an ethernet cord to attach to the router. My roommates are complaining that since I have been connected via ethernet they have had a really bad wireless connection. Is this possible? I think it may just be a case of bad timing: their wireless crapping out at the same time I arrived.

First things first how do i find out if I have an ethernet card installed on my system.
now on to the question above connecting 2 computers via cable directly.
Can anyone give me a idiots guide how to do this. or point me in the right direction of somewhere that can especally with the ip address side of things.

i connect to the wireless modem downstairs with a belkin wireless adaptor,i want to connect my xbox 360 to live without buying a 50 quid adaptor or a really long ethernet cable downstairs.I have heard you can use the connection on my pc

is the cable needed to connect xbox to pc cat5e crossover cable?
would it work with vista

maybe a link on how to set it up

Okay, so we have a lot of PCs at home and one router.
My home’s set up:
Main pc has router and is plugged to the wall via ethernet (Cat5).
All others (2 desktop and 3 laptops) connect wireless.

One laptop recentlry has Ubuntu 10.10. This Ubuntu is capable of going online when plugged from the wall, however the wireless card in this laptop simply won’t work with Ubuntu.

What I am trying to do:
Use my desktop that has Windows 7 as a router. This Win7 PC has a wireless card and has internet, it also has an ethernet port. So I want to connect my laptop using CAT5 via my desktop.

I tried a few things but so far I still don’t get access.

Okay so I expect knowledgeable answers, if you post a link post it because it worked for you in a similar case, I already googled myself.
@LeonGrei… Is that what I was asking?

Thank you Jonny on the spot, right on the spot this time!. I read about the cross over cable, it says that its for transferring data between PCs, are you positive it’ll work to share an internet connection?

I have an SMC Barricade SMC7904bra2 ADSL modem that has an internal Router too. I want to connect 2 PC’s to it and i want it connects automatically to the internet but i am not able to do so and instead i have made a virtual network connection in one of my PC’s and i have to connect it manually and when it is connected the other one is not able to connect to the internet. what shall i do and what the configuration should be? thanks

and i use the internet ok thats good but i cant connect my iphone by the wifi to my laptop to use the internet (i dont have a access point) thankssssssss

I am getting to the point where I am going to setup a network in my new house. I plan on having a Qwest dsl modem/router to bring in the internet connection and then connect a 16-port D-link wired switch to allow more computers and devices to connect to the internet. There is about 2 cat5e and 1 cat 6 outlet(s) in each room of the house. I also have setup a place to put a wireless router/switch in the hallway of the main floor and basement. Both locations have a cat 5e cable running to them.

My question is how do I connect a wireless router/switch to the CAT5e plug in both hallways so that I don’t have to connect the routers to the dsl modem. Basically I want to turn two lines running from the D-link 16-port wired switch and use them in a way to create a wireless network in separate areas of the house. I have seen something similar at some of the local schools. They have a cat 5 outlet in a hallway and they just plug it into their wireless router that sits on the wall and it creates a wireless network. Is there anyway to bridge both wireless routers to share the same password? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the answer Adrian. I only have a couple of questions concerning the setup that you described on another post. Will it work without having a static ip address. I only have dynamic. Also how will this setup work if the 16 port switch is in between the second router and the dsl modem.

I’m trying to extend my cat5e Ethernet cable because I don’t have enough and it was really tough running it through the house.

But I have a rj45 jack
So I could use another nethernet cable to connect it to the existing one

But the cables don’t match up and I need to know how the colors cross

The rj45 has these colors
Green
Yellow
Brown
White
Blue
Orange
Black
Red

The cat5e Ethernet cable has
Green
Brown
White/green
White/orange
White/blue
Orange
Blue

I’ve done this before and it has worked but I lost my notes and I can’t figure the color matches now, cuss I know some are crossed

Or should a straight through be used?
