Ok,main pc downstairs is plugged into my netgear wifi router,upstairs pc (on a limited user account) is using a wifi dongle. I`ve enabled sharing on both the shared docs and the limited user docs folders,but cannot access the limited user one from downstairs. I guess it`s a security access problem? Oh,both running XP Pro.

Hey Guys, Recently virgin media gave us a wireless netgear router so my dad could use his laptop around the house. I have set that up fine, its working as desired. The issue is my desktop PC seems to lose the internet when I try to refresh a game server list (Teamspeak / Ventrillo / IRC all stay connected). I've read that in a few places that it could be the routers firmware but ...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to network a Vista Premium 64bit (SP1) PC with an old XP Home 32bit (SP3) PC, but I've had no luck getting it to work. I've never done this sort of thing before and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice/suggestions. Here's what I've done so far: Vista PC: -Network and Sharing Centre --> Network Map: shows both Vista and XP computers, but it ...

First of all, apologies if this is a stupid question or in the wrong forum. I am thinking of investing in a laptop and a wireless router so i can surf the web in my back garden over the summer months. Do some wireless routers/wireless cards in laptops have stronger signal/reception than others? The only time i have seen wi-fi used was in my aunties house and she could barely get a ...

Can i get something without BT's needless £11/mo line rental?

Wanted to search for this, but 'o2' is too short a string to do that! Basically, am moving house soon and have cancelled my existing broadband with Eclipse. Have been VERY far from my exchange for 4 years now, so could only get a maximum of 800Kbps on ADSL Max, so the predicted 'up to 5.5Mbps' on my new line should be quite nice! Anyway, I'm looking for the best ISP to go for, but am ...

Bought a couple of Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter Blimey HEADRAT

Is there such a thing that exists? Every room in my house has a TV coaxial socket, and the junction box is in the cloakroom on our ground floor. I was hoping to ask anyone with any expertise: Is there a product that can utilise my coaxial connections in conjunction with modern ethernet NICs? I.e. some kind of serial data adaptor? Would it be capable of high throughput (ideally 1 Gbit) Is...

Looking for a decent 8 port gigabit switch, have seen the Dynamode SWG80010-D It must be reliable, ie. able to maintain gigabit transfer rates (when supported by hardware), and not drop from 1000Mbps to 100Mbps just on a whim. Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Going to be moving into my second year student house soon, and with 7 of us in the same house there will be a total of 7 laptops + 2 Xbox + PS3, all of which will want to be connected to the network. I'm going to have 20mb or 10mb virgin media broadband installed, which comes with a free wireless router. I don't know how many wired/wireless devices this will support, but I'm sure for 10 ...
