Best T1 DEAL Networking Questions Fastest Internet

Posts Tagged ‘Network’

okay, I’m at work and there are prob 10 computers connected through the network. I’m wanting to move a comp into an unused room to set up an office. I’ve plugged my comp up & went to the back to plug a Cat5e cable to some box, and I get internet connection, but it won’t connect to the program I need to access. It says NO CONNECTION. I am obviously missing something.
Okay, so I think I may have figured out how to do it, but now I notice the keyboard won’t work! I even took this one in there and it wouldn’t work on it. The lights lit up on the keyboard, but it won’t take anything I key in
I actually get an internet connection, that’s how I was able to tell the keyboard won’t work. I went to a few sites I had already been on in this room. It is only another room. Same building. I just checked, and it does say I’m connected to the local area network, so I guess my problem is with the actual program….
so forget the original question now! SORRY
now I need help with the keyboard!LOL

I’ve got a small home network, and I want files and data to transfer faster on the wired half of it. It’s setup like this

1 Wireless Router with 4 wired ports
1 to a Windows 7 PC
1 to a Windows XP PC
1 to an Xbox 360
1 to a NAS Hard Drive

There are also 2 laptops, a Nintendo Wii, and a cell phone on the wireless portion of the network. 802.11g.

Allow me to be clear here. I WANT THE DATA TRANSFER THROUGH THE WIRED PORTION OF THE NETWORK TO BE FASTER. I mention the wireless aspect only so you know, in case it matters (I don’t think it does.)

Say you are building a network with some PCs connected with cat5e cable and some laptops which will connect to the same network wirelessly.

Does the WAP need to connect to the switch? Or does it connect to a PC, or the power alone?

Hi! im switching from a wireless connection to a wired connection and ive been getting some trouble. The icon at the bottom right (taskbar) says my network cable is unplugged… The router is connected by ethernet cable to the ethernet outlet (says cat5e) … then there is another ethernet cable connecting the cat 5e plug to my computer… How come its not working???

Okay, I’ve been toying around with some stuff, on a computer i have. I’ve connected a cat5 from the on board LAN into my router, I’ve a USB wireless receiving device connected, and i have a wireless pci card connected. I live in an apartment complex so there are millions of unlocked routers all over the place. I’ve actually got each device connected to a different internet connection. Is there a way i could use this to my advantage to increase my download/upload rate?

Tinkerin’ around with some curiosity, thanks.

On the same computer (running XP) can I assign one application (eg: Internet Explorer) to use the WiFi card network connection, while I assign another application to use the ethernet card which uses a CAT5 hardwired connection? How do I do this?

Just wondering how far I can run Cat5e without plugging it into a router for a boost.
I was told around 300 feet or so, guess that would be around 100m, Thanks for confirming.

I have several Logitech USB webcams. THey need to be placed at least 25′ from my video server and this is farther than the USB standard will suport. Therefore I need to either buy USB extenders or convert the USB to Ethernet. What is the best solution?

I need to achieve a network between 4 laptops, where one has no wireless module. Can I use an Ethernet cable to connect this laptop to another laptop in the network? and how to do that exactly? please help. very appreciated!

i want to network an xp machine and a vista machine. i have them both connected to a CAT5e cable. i named the workgroup the same on both pcs. what else do i need to do to get this network working?

I have a westall 327 wireless dsl/router modem. My Vista PC is connected by cat5 to router, XP pc is connected via wireless. This is not as easy controlling my home network as XP was. I like Vista, so NO VISTA HATERS please.

I am moving to a new house and I am planning to network all rooms. My plan at this point is to run Cat5e cables from every room to the garage, where I want to combine them in a patch rack. In the same vicinity, I want to place a router/switch to connect all rooms to a single modem. In addition, I would like to connect a dedicated server out there in the future.

Here are my questions:

- What is the CLEANEST way to accomplish the task. I am trying to avoid the “home-build” look and are planning on going for a (semi-)professional set-up.

- Once the cables come out of the wall, should I first feed them into their separate patch cabinet (in-wall? wall mounted?) or should I feed them straight into a small (wall mounted) server rack.

- What is the cleanest/safest/easiest way o run the cables through the wall/underneath the floor? Are racetracks the best way to go?

- Are there any good web tutorials?

- Where is the best place to purchase the equipment?

How to set up one of my wireless laptop to my wireless network, so that I can use the laptop without plugging the cord directly to the router? Could someone help me please. Thanks.

Can two computers be set up to share a dial up internet connection? Both computers have ethernet cards, but on computer B the modem itself doesnt work (but the network card does). Is an ethernet switch necessary?
