I have a wired router with four computers and a printer connected to it.
I also have a wireless router connected to this router and two laptops that connect to this wireless router network. They are all on the WORKGROUP group, but the wireless laptops cannot see the other computers or printer on the other router. How can I get them to see each other?

Can anyone tell me what are the 1. wired and 2. wireless broadband connections?
thanks

I know CAT 6 is supposed to be for “faster” connections, but my main question is, are the connectors the same? I’m using a CAT5 and want to get a longer cable for cheap, and can, but it’s CAT 6. Are the end connectors the same?

I’ve noticed my internet connection these days are a bit slow. Is this due to the LAN router or just the wire that goes around my house.

Why can windows systems connect to broadband so easily while other os’s like os x and linux need to contact customer service for a bunch of things. (or so I’ve heard)

Is it some sort of compatibility issues? It’s easy and automatic for XP and Vista. I tried a dual boot with Linux Mint and couldn’t connect to my dorm room connection. Most ISP’s CAN support all os’s though right?

i’m trying to figure out how to run internet upstairs.. I know I need a router and what else? I think I need to run a cat5 But unsure. Can anyone give advice?

the basement room has an a-v receiver for the media room.
i would like to run all the speakers and need ideas on options including a music server.

Brothers computer got hacked, he basically lost his yahoo/gmail/facebook accounts. His running a malware scan so that should be cleared up. However, whatever malware or virus that got his computer, can it infect other computers that are connected to the same router my brothers laptop uses? I mean ya, a malware program can come from anywhere, but can it spread through a router like that?

1.We are doing a temporary internet fix, and it is very complex to explain in writing, so I made a picture. Tell me if what is proposed is possible. I’m sorry is it is too confusing, I did the best I could. Feel free to email me with any questions. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6940/internetplan.jpg

2. In the place where all our cat5 cables terminate, we have a LOT of cables. Is there a way to tell which cable leads where with minimal hassle, and preferably without trial-and-error? Cause there really are a lot of possible combinations.

3. Is it simple for a person with little electrical skill and no helper to set up two or three cat5 jacks?

I’m sorry for any inconvenience and the possible complexity of the first question. Once again, feel free to email me with any questions.

We use router to separate the network, when a packet reach to router, the router check it routing table to decide where to forward the packet. The router is connected to modem, I curious what going on there between router and modem, can I connect to isp without modem? Why need modem? Just for the sake of signal translation? Does the modem tell router how to connect to the ISP? For example like giving router the ip address of the ISP?

I would like to use an older computer to build my own PVR/DVR, and house it in the basement. My house is wired with CAT5, so I maybe able use that somehow.

Specifically, I’m trying to understand the following: inside global, inside local, outside global, and outside local

The router is connected to my normal computer to get the internet.

But how do I get the internet connection to get to my other room?

I dont know how to work these things.

I have my wireless router all set up with WPA2 security and MAC filtering. But when I scan the wifi’s in my surrounding area, an unprotected network is ALSO detected and I can connect to it and use it. And it works fine unless I turn off my router, which led me to believe that it is being broadcast from MY router! Help!

I have my cable modem provided by my ISP hooked up to my computer directly however I want to have my Xbox 360 hooked up to the net without running CAT5 all over the house, is it possible to use the cable outlet by my Xbox with a cable modem that I buy?

Please describe each.
Or please site references/sources.
Thank you for your help

Basically I have one ethernet cable in-wall and have two units (PS3 and Wii). How do I connect both, without having to reconnect the cable to either one and without running a second cable from the router? Is there an adapter, splitter, etc…? If you may please also link me to what is needed. Thanks so much!

My friends are considering buying a Vodafone Mobile Broadband USB Modem but each wants to use it at different times on their own machines. Is this possible without any hassle? They are low users of the internet so are only considering the 3GB model.
