I have a home WI-FI network on windows 7 with an attached NAS drive for my media (plugged into the router).I was wondering how I would connect my work PC to the Wi-FI Network so it can access the media but disable the internet from only that PC.I have seen suggestions about blocking the work PC's IP in the router settings and something about MAC addresses, but was more hoping there was something simple I could disable in the network settings on the PC itself.
All of a sudden my browser wouldn't connect to any websites. Tried f.fox, IE and Chrome. But I could connect to the router and other devices, and another computer on the same router could connect to the internet. I use OpenDNS and started getting weird messages about my IP address being used by another user. I changed back to the ISP's DNS but it did not cure. In the end I used system restore back a couple of days and now all is well
I have been using the same wireless setup in my home for over a year. We have a Belkin Surf wireless router and an Arris modem from Comcast, using cable internet from Comcast. In the house, we have 5 devices that are set up to automatically connect wirelessly: iPhone 4, an old iPod touch, a MacBook Pro, a Toshiba laptop, and a Brother printer. Until recently, there has never been a problem with connectivity.
Lately, certain devices have been losing connection. For example, last night my husband and I were both using our laptops with no problems.This morning, his is connected and my iPhone is connected,but my Mac is not (I get a timeout error and am not connected to the internet). Sometimes it's his laptop that drops the connection. Other times it's my son's iPod or my iPhone. It is never all of the devices at once (something is always connected), and each device always recognizes the network as existing yet cannot connect to it.
I have also tried to change the channel that the router is set to, but that has not seemed to solve anything. The firmware is up to date. We are password protected in an area with few neighbors, and there never are any unknown devices connected when I check the client list for the router.
my internet connection is just connected to a router , it is OK to always disable and enable my internet connection? because every time i open my PC i always disable and enable the internet connection to make it work. how to make my internet connection work properly every time when i open my PC?
I need to disable the Internet Connection to a specified computer, without removing any wires or plugs. I have 3 computers which are connected to a SpeedTouch 5x6 (0843BH3B7) and a wire which then connects the router to the modem. Now, I want to disable the Internet connection for one of the computers from the software of the router.
i have window 7 instaled..my problem is that i use wateen usb for browing in office.where as my pc is conected with other pcs..when i disable the lan the wateen usb works but than i cant acess othert pcs..previouslyi was using same window and usb but there was no problem..after i have installed the window this problem has occured.
Using Windows 7 how would I disable the internet portion of my lan connection and use an usb air card instead? I'll still need to access the network files and folders using the lan though.
I have a MI-FI dongle which i use to connect to the internet (small wireless router) It does not support a wireless printer though. So I figured IU would use the old BT Home hub I had to connect my computer and the printer.
This worked for a few minuites untill the computer decided that the home hub should be dominent and instead of accesing the internet the browser would show the bt cannot conect to the internet page.
I have a wireless router (an Actiontec PK5000) and two desktop computers that connect with USB wireless adapters. I'm looking for a way to stop one of those computers from connecting wirelessly, without disconnecting the other.I used to have a wired ethernet connection, but since I've moved my computer to a different room I've had to rely on a wireless connection. Previously, I shut off the wireless in the house whenever other people were hogging bandwidth, but now that's not an option, as it would shut me down too.
new computer installation. networked computers. one prints other doesn't. i downloaded driver on to problem computer. am not sure how to install it though. it doesn't appear anywhere once i downloaded it! windows 7 64 bit
I have several networked printers in my office. Two users stopped being able to print today to any of the networked printers. Everything else works fine. I have tried everything I can think of
I want to copy a font file from the Fonts Folder in networked PC (B) but can only see Documents Folder and subfolders. Windows 7 OS. I'm working in main PC (A) -- No monitor, mouse or keyboard connected in PC (B).
I have a router with a motorola cable modem connected to my linksys router. In this network I have a windows XP computer wirelessly connected to the router and a networked disk drive wired to the router through a netgear switch.I am trying to move a lot of files from the XP computer to the networked drive.Everything works great as it will move files for as long as everything is up and running. As soon as I attempt to change the status of the modem from on-line to off-line with the push button on top of the modem, my XP computer loses connection to the networked drive.Why is this happening? I would think the xp computer and network drive are below the modem inside the network so losing the internet connection from the modem should only affect the internet connection
I work at a small private school for languages and we have 3 public computers for the students to use for general stuff, internet research, facebook etc etc. Now every week i go to the comps and make sure their running well etc etc but every time there is new stupid things being installed by the students. Anyway, i wanna put a stop to this activity. the computers are not a toy for this lot but a tool and if they need a program for something to come and ask. As it stands the comps are all win 7, and are connected to the network via WIFI. the network is a simple zyxel router. There is another office comp connected to the router running Win XP pro and i also have a spare comp in the office which is unused.
Long story short, I have a Asus CG5270 desktop with a cdrom that DOES NOT work and a hard drive that is totally wiped clean of any operating system. I also have a router and a perfectly working laptop with Windows 7 64bit home premium on it. I do not have a crossover cable or external hard drive. I have the recovery disk for the desktop which is Vista 64bit home premium SP1.Can I or can I not use the laptop to reinstall Vista on my desktop?I've found this question asked countless times in countless forums but also countless answers that do not answer the question for a person that is not a computer engineer.
I have networked two computer with printers attached to each. PC1 is with a brother printer attached PC2 with a HP 1100 attached.In the past I had no difficulty with networking the computers and have access from each computer to each of the printers.
I up graded the computer Susan and I am now having a few problems that I never had before.After I perform the Network Setup Wizard on each of the computers (in many different methods) I am having the following problems.First, every now and then I am getting the following message after double clicking on Entire Network then Microsoft Windows Network:
Entire Network Not enough storage is available to process this command.If I wait a few moments I will get the MSHOME and am allowed to click on that. After this I do see both guy and Susan. If I double click on guy I see items pop up. If I click on Susan I get the following message:
Susan is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The network path is not found.Of course I can not add the printer from Susan either. Though I have had no problem adding the printer from guy to Susan. And it prints properly.
I have three machines that run dos5 and are unable to be networked (for various reasons). I am able to print the screen of each system but I want to share a printer amongst all of them. As it turns out they are on completely seperate sides of the room and a way to setup a seperate computer to act as a print server allowing me to do the following:
Just purchased a DIR-655 Rev B router, old Belkin F5D9230-4 Died. Home Network wired and wireless. 2 XP desktops wired (one thru DIR-655 and the other thru an Ethernet switch unit (not a router)), iPad II, 1 XP Laptop used mostly wireless but at times wired, 1 Windows 7 laptop wireless, plus HP Photosmart 8450 wired thru switch. ISP is Starband satellite.
All was working great until I replaced the Belkin with the D-Link. I have lost the HP-8450 and have tried until the cows came home but it will not install from HP software from any computer on the network.
I have a setup with a Cisco RV042 router connected as follows: Broadband Motorola Surfboard -> Cisco RV042 -> Wireless Router [code] The Surfboard has a wireless N network, though the other wireless router runs on G for compatibility reasons.
The problem I am having is that I have a printer connected to a Windows computer on the wireless N router (with a static IP address), and I need computers on the G network to be able to use the shared printer. The printer is shared, though not through Home group.
On the other computers in the house (on the G network), I cannot see the server in the list of computers on the network, and I cannot seem to manually add the printer by typing in the IP address.
how can I get other computers to detect the server connected to the printer, or what IP address/port/URL do I specify to connect to a shared printer on that PC?
I was wondering how I could disable the internet function in my desktop computer using my laptop. My reason for this is that I dont want my son to be on the computer after 11, so Im trying to disable the internet using my laptop, I wouldnt mind if it disabled the laptop internet at the same time.
Wondering if there was a way to disable all internet in a household without actually turning off the modem/router. What im trying to do is disable all internet to my desktop computer, THROUGH my laptop. This accounts for lan and wifi.
There would appear to be a general problem with printing from a wireless laptop, judging by the number I've come across in the search for a solution to my particular problem.My Set-up is:BT Home-Hub (up to 8 MBs Broadband DSL connection with outputs of two ethernet ports and Wifi, telephone and USB
- port 1 connected to Vista PC - port 2 connected to 8 port Netgear switch.
Netgear switch.
- port 1 input from BT Home Hub - port 2 connected to TV - port 3 connected to NAS - port 4 connected to Samsung CLP 620 ND colour laser - port 5 connected to this desktop PC (Win 7/64bit) - ports 5 to 8 as yet unused.
Other PCs
- desktop running XP SP3 connects through WiFi - old Toshiba laptop running XP SP 3 connects through WiFi - new HP laptop running Win 7 SP 1 connects through WiFi - Acer laptop running Win 7 SP1 connects through WiFi.(WiFi computers not necessarily connected all at the same time)
The issue.This desktop can print via the network..All XP pcs/laptops see the printer on the network and can print..The Win 7 laptops see the printer on the network, but when asked to print a test page, the document gets stuck in queue until it gives the Error - printing message. If the printer is sleeping, when the test page is sent, the Samsung print dialog panel on the laptop remains showing "Printer is sleeping..." as if no commands are being sent to the printer (and therefore why nothing prints). Cancelling the document returns the printer to normal - ie the exclam mark in the yellow triangle disappears and is replaced by a tick. When the laptop is shutdown, and then restarted maybe a day later, if the printer is on, it jumps into life and prints the test page from the laptop.I should add that the laptop is also part of the HOMEGROUP and can see the printer via this PC when this PC is on - and it can print via this PC in the HOMEGROUP. Both the problem laptops have the up to date Samsung drivers although it took an age to install - it seems to get stuck on the "Detecting TCP/IP Port" page and then goes to a page headed Additional port info required. On selecting Samsung Printer, it moves on to Detecting Driver Model, gets stuck there until it moves on to the old Add Printer dialog with Manufacturers in the left pane and printers in the right.
have a computer that connects to the internet via a wireless network connection. The router to which it connects is not physically available.I have a device that I want to connect to the internet. However, it is a wired device. The device cannot reach the wireless router that the computer connects to.Is there any way for the wired device to connect to the computer as an intermediary? The computer has a built in wired network card (as well as a USB wireless device that connects to the wifi router).
I have a new windows7 installed laptop. I couldnot connect to the networked computers which are in Windows XP. All printers and other pheripherals are connected to windows XP computer.I tried to connect even through wired router, still it doesnot detect the printer connected to the XP -Pc
I've recently bought a wdtv live streamer to play all my music and videos.
Firstly, my setup. Wdtv live connected via USB3 to 1tb wd elements hdd. Also connected via rj45 to router. Laptop on same network, but wireless.
My first question concerns transfer rates. When sending any kind of media to the networked drive from my laptop, I'm only getting transfer speeds of about. 2 mb/s. I thought I would get much more than this as when the wdtv streams to my iPad, it will need faster speeds than this.
The second question is just to make my life easier. Is there any way I can set up folders on my laptop to automatically sync with a chosen folder on the networked hdd? Just to save any effort on my part really
What I want is if I import a cd using iTunes into my library, it will automatically see it and copy it across to the hdd so I can play it over the network.
As an aside, would it be easier to store my whole iTunes library just on the networked drive?
Ok I have 8 computers 2 computer will have a camera attached to it importing photos as they are being shot. (2 photo stations) Trick is I need to transfer all photos taken in real time to the remaining 6 computers at the same time. What is the best way to do this and what software to export all photos to the six computers. I'm running windows 7. I set this up as a home group but it was really slow. When I tried to use a network printer it would freeze the network? I need it to monitor new files as the photos come in. Also all photos also need to be copied to 6 different computers so guest could access their photo on any computer.This is how I currently have it set up. I have 2 Computers with cameras attached that takes the photos and sends them to PC1 (My Server Computer) The server computer also has the network printer attached. Each photo is about 300K-500K size.
Different photo is transfer every 15 seconds. The server computer is also connected to the other 5 Computers. The guest goes to one of the computers, scans a card and their photo pops up which is located on the server computer, they also have an option to print the photo. The problem is when the guests scans their card the photo is very slow to pull up ( about 15-20 seconds ) Second is when they hit print it freezes up sometimes for up to 2 minutes. I connected as a home group and first did connection wireless Then connect everything through a Ethernet cord which speed it just a little not much. Questions Do I need a better server computer?
(upstairs) Windows 7 64 bit pc (2year old), Netgear DGN2000 wireless modem/router, Seagate GoFlex Home NAS drive, D Link Powerline AV Network Kit,
(downstairs) D Link Powerline AV Network Kit, Yamaha RX-V671 AV Amp, Panasonic TX-P42V20B TV, TP-Link 5-port 10/100Mbps Desktop switch,
From the first time I set this up I have had problems in seeing all the folders I put onto the NAS drive for streaming to my TV and AV amp.Half of my music folders From the letter K upwards simply disappear from the menu view on my amp after I switch it off then back on the next time I want to listen to it. When I check the NAS drive on my PC, all the folders are still there but are not accessable downstairs on the amp.I can re-transfer the "missing" folders and it's fine till I next switch off and on again and its always from the same point that the folders are missing.The TV is also suffering from the same problems when I want to view photos and videos which are present in the drive upstairs but not visible on the menu on the TV (all missing on the TV!)Everything is connected with cat6 leads and I can stream internet radio (which is built into the amp) without any problems so it seems to me to be a communication problem between upstairs and downstairs.My house wiring has all the sockets on one ring main so that should be ok but I wondered if the router was not up to it with it not being a gigabit router.
I have 2 Windows 7 desktops that are both connected to seperate vonage boxes and those vonage boxes are connected to my D-Link DIR-655 router. That D-Link router is getting its connection from a Comcast router. I am looking to get one of the desktops to share a printer from the other one which has it hard wired via USB cable. When I first set this up I did not have the vonage boxes and the desktops were connected right into the router and everything worked fine. Now that the vonage boxes are in place it is a mess. I can get internet fine on both machines, but no file/printer sharing. I have followed all the steps to setup the correct workgroup and file and printer sharing options on both windows 7 machines but they cannot see each other at all. My feeling is that now that the vonage boxes are there that instead of the desktops looking at the D-Link router for its sharing option they are looking at the vonage boxes and that is why they cant be seen. Does this make sense? Is there a firewall on the vonage boxes stopping these two desktops from seeing each other? Do I have to change something on the D-Link router options for it to give access to the vonage boxes for these 2 machines to see each other for printer/file sharing?
how to disable certain ports - 25,53,25,138, & 445 - except internet to prevent hacking (can u explain in a way as a novice like me can understand pls)
I recently had my Internet disconnected, and decided to share my iPhone's Internet connection (tether) with my PC. Now, the iPhone connection works, but for some reason my PC prefers to use my original Internet connection thus no connection. The only way I can access the Internet is by going into adapter settings and disabling my router, but I do not want to do this as I have other computers on the network and I often share files.
My PC is hardwired to a Comcast all in one Internet/Phone Modem/Wireless Router. I have installed new software on my Android Phone that can control my music recording software over Wi-Fi. Here is the rub: Recording software and the Internet don't play nicely together. They are in constant conflict for resources. I used to simply disable my network connection when working in my recording software. This obviously won't allow my phone to connect to my computer . Is there a way to disable my Internet connection yet remain connected to my network? I don't want to disable the entire networks Internet connection since there are other Internet users on the network.
I start my pc i get 2 local area connections instead of 1 and because of this my internet does not work unless i disable and enable again the network .After enabling only 1 network shows and i can connect to internet.It may be because i replaced my motherboard even tho i uninstalled the drivers?
