Splitting Ethernet Signal To Two Computers?
Jan 27, 2013
I'm trying to connect a second desktop to my internet connection. My current setup has my primary desktop using a wireless card and getting internet from the wireless router. Then I bridged the connection from my desktop to my xbox. Everything worked perfectly.
However, I recently got a second desktop(running lubuntu if it matters) and I'm trying to get it connected so that I can use Synergy and share a mouse with it. I found an old router laying around the house and was hoping I could use it to share the bridged connection to my xbox with the second desktop. Like this:
I couldn't get that to work though. The second desktop knew it was connected, but it couldn't connect to the internet. It would also throw off my primary desktop and it would try to connect to the old router.
I also tried to set it up like this:
Using an ethernet plug in the wall that normally just went to the TV and trying to split it there. The TV still worked, but the second desktop didn't.
How I can get this all working. I'd like to do it without having to order a wireless card/usb and just use what I have.

I have a desktop with a "black screen", but the computer is running. I need to get files/documents off that computer. How can I get them without being able to see the monitor? I have a netbook, a portable hard drive, and regular ethernet cables, but not a cross over cable.

I recently purchased a dir 655 router and it works fine but in after a while of using it, the wifi signal will stop broadcasting my other computers still work with the internet that are hard wired but the ones im using through the wifi signal will loose connection. So my fix has been unplugging the router and plugging it back in then it will broadcast my wifi again. I tryed leaving it plugged in and refreshing and rebooting my computers but that wont fix it until i disconnect the router and plug it back.

We inherited a soundbooth configuration Current Configuration:
1. Networked Projector interfaces directly with a PC through a second NIC
2. We can then control the projector through a web interface via the PC and the IP of the projector.
Desired New Configuration:
1. Maintain current configuration - but ADD a second computer (an iMac)
2. I want to split the connection coming from the projector to the 2 computers so that we can interface with the projector from both computers.
I was thinking I would need a switch but didn't know if there is any configuring I would need to do to get it to work.

I have a 80ft cat5 ethernet cable I got cut at compusa about 3years ago to go across the house to my room. I used to have an a really old computer but about 6months ago I bought a brand new top of the line computer and got really excited and set it up on my desk in my room to discover my ethernet cable wasnt being detected on my computer. The weird part is that it works with other computers.. I had my gf's laptop(3yo) using it, my dads(3yo), my older computer that I dont use anymore but whenever I connect mines it doesnt work.I test hooking up a few different cables to my computer and they work but that one specificly wont.

I have an older desktop computer that I am trying to set up in my detached garage.It is only ethernet compatable. I have a wireless network in my house that my laptop is wirelessly connected to. I purchased a Linksys WET11 v2 wireless bridge. It is my understanding that this bridge will take the wireless signal and convert it to wired, but it is not working. When the bridge is connected to the old desktop, my LAN is active but I can't connect to the internet.

I need to get a connection through a 3 storie structure.
On each floor, I have a cluster of servers set up. Conventionally, I would thread cat6 cables through the building but due to various reasons I cannot do that.
On the ground floor there are 2 ground lines which project a wireless signal.
I'm wondering, is there some way I can convert the wireless signal into an ethernet line? Perhaps through some kind of interfaced adapter. I've thought of buying a throwaway laptop and bridging the connections manually but I'd prefer to avoid that option if there are feasiable alternatives.

I recently got a new Toshiba laptop, which works perfectly. We already have an HP desktop PC as well as a Dell laptop, which are both connected to an Ethernet router. When I got my Toshiba, I couldn't connect to the router, whether from a new Internet cable, the cable the Dell uses, or the cable the HP uses (it works perfectly fine with Wifi). The next day I got up early and tried again, and it worked. The HP was turned on, and it connected. But then the Dell wouldn't. Over the next couple days, we realized the problem was that the router only allowed the first two computers that were connected to it to connect to the Internet, but not the third one. The router itself allows eight cables to be plugged into it at a time, so I don't see why it's only allowing two computers, whether laptop or desktop, to connect. Is there a possible solution to this?It's an 8-Port Workgroup Switch, Model EZXS88W.Also, our router DOES NOT support Wifi

They have a main Verizon router in their bedroom, which is hard wired to a wireless router in the TV room. The have another cable router (not wireless) and it can receive a signal when you plug an Ethernet cable from output #1 on the wireless router to Internet input on the cable router (the Internet light lights up, meaning it's receiving the signal). Also the wireless router light for output #1 lights up (meaning it's outputting a signal correctly). But, when I plug the same cord into the Slingbox PRO, the network light, on the Slingbox PRO, doesn't light up, nor does the #1 light on the wireless router. The Slingbox is out of warranty.

I'm watching a video streamed from my laptop and the signal is constantly being dropped. I suspect the D-Link DES-105. I have another Ethernet switch on the system as well but it is a Gigabit unmanaged switch from D-Link and has worked well with video streams. I've removed the DES 105 from the circuit and videos play fine. Should I dump to DES-105 for another Gigabit switch? SOme say I have a bad cable somewhere but I have tested all and have not found a problem.

I am completely new to wireless networking and know next to nothing. I own an apartment on a complex abroad and they have recently had wireless internet installed. There are some areas of the complex where the signal is very poor.
I have some Cisco small business WET200 ethernet bridging units and was wondering if these would be suitable to boost the signal in these Black spots. How to set this up or any suitable products to over come this problem.

I have a Linksys WRT120N plugged directly into my cable modem upstairs, an 8 port switch plugged into it, an ethernet cable from it run downstairs in my house to another 8 port switch and a Linksys E4200 plugged into it. I want both routers to allow me to connect to the internet wirelessly if possible. I cannot even access the E4200 from a browser, because the IP adress 192.168.1.1 goes directly to the WRT120N.

I have a little weird request at work. One of our offices would like to split the VOIP traffic. At that office we have a 10MB primary and 3MB backup circuit. Currently the phones are routing over the 10MB circuit. The General Manager would like to use the 3MB backup circuit for VOIP traffic. For the 3MB we have two T1 lines bundled together in a multilink. Configuration is bellow if needed

I have cable internet with 12 Mbit download and 1.25 Mbit upload speed. I'm using Thomson TGW850-4 router and I'm sharing the connection with my brother. Each of us have our own PC, of course.
Problem is, my brother downloads torrents while I play online games which completely screws up with my ping (from 40-80 to 350+) which makes them pretty much unplayable.
Is there a way to split the connection in two so that each of us gets 6 Mbit download and 0.625 Mbit upload at all times so that his torrents don't interfere with my online games?

In one of our offices in Tokyo, we used to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection from an ASA5505 and then ran multiple IP SEC tunnels to our remote sites. We have a /28 public range, but I couldn't work out how to utilize the other addresses, as the firewall was assigned a /32 on it's dialer.
To try to use more of the address space, we changed the topology and put a 1921 router at the internet perimeter terminating the PPPoE and then connected the inside of that to the outside of our ASA5505. We split the /28 into two /29 sub nets. the dialer interface of the router has a /32 from one of the /29s and the link between the inside of the router and the outside of the firewall used the other /29.
Since that change, we have had a number of performance problems to devices located behind the firewall (over VPN). If there's no traffic going over it, then response times to the public facing interfaces of the eqpt there are good. The more traffic we push over it the more packet loss we get. The response times are consistent, it's the packet loss that's the problem. There are no errors or drops on the PPPoE interface.The obvious answer to this is that we're pushing more traffic over it than we should, but it's a 100Mb circuit and I'm having severe packet loss if I try to push about 2 or 3 Mbps through it.
We're pretty certain that it's an ISP problem and can't say for sure that the problem started when we changed the topology out there, but anything to do with the way we've split the subnets out like that?

I have a pair of ASA5510 currently running as a failover pair. For some reason we need to move one of the firewall to another site, is there any best practice on splitting up the failover pair then I can re-configure the secondary unit offline?
I'm thinking to power down the secondary unit, unplug it from the network totally then erase the configuration on the secondary unit on console so I can re-configure it. For the primary unit, I will disable the faiolver config by "no failover" on the primary unit. Is that necessarily all thing for splitting up the failover cluster?
Hardware: ASA5510, 256 MB RAM, CPU Pentium 4 Celeron 1600 MHz
Internal ATA Compact Flash, 256MB
BIOS Flash M50FW080 @ 0xffe00000, 1024KB(code)

I would like to connect to a 1Gb routed uplink, and then impose bandwidth limits (via shaping/policing/whatever) on a per port basis. The ports could either be configured to route, or as switchports on separate VLANS. I'm trying to identify hardware that will let me do this. The set up I have in mind is shown below.
I am wondering if the IP Services Adv software on that switch will allow that functionality?

Now I have a 172.16.0.0/16 network with a def. gw. for internet where is a MS Forefront TMG 2010 with BSplitter for traffic shaping. I purchased an 2921, 2,5 GB RAM, security+data license and an EHWIC-D-8ESG.
I made 4 subnets in a test environment with some access-lists, nothing fancy yet. How can I use FF TMG for bandwidth management, where should I put it? For those 4 subnets the def. gw. is, normally, the 2921 router. TMG is splitting traffic by client IP.

I am having a problem with my Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. It is not detecting my ethernet cable, and thus leaving me without internet on my desktop, after i updated its driver. The cable is not the problem as I have tested the cable with my laptop. I tried rolling back drivers, doing system restore and removing drivers with driversweeper and letting windows install the drivers again. However, none of these worked for me. I doubt the NIC is faulty as it was working before i updated the drivers. I am using windows 7 home premium 64-bit.

I curently have 2 Data centers connected with a Metro Ethernet Connection. Each Data Center has 6500 with Sup720s. The Metro Ethernet connection is currently conected by a L3 routed interface. I now need to enable VRFs between the locations and want to determine the best way to adjust the Mero. I was considering adjusting the routed interface to use Ethernet sub-interfaces. Each VRF would be given a different subinterface over the Metro Ethernet connection. I have done this on internal LAN connections but am concerned about exteding across data centers over Metro E.

I've had trouble connecting to my own internet and have no wireless. I'm using my neighbor's wireless and it's really slowing her's down. I've tried restarting my laptop (it usually works) and then reinstalled the device under "device manager". It's not the cord, I've checked with my neighbor's laptop and it works fine.I use a Sony Vaio VGN-NS140E with Windows Vista SP2.

I just got a new Xbox today, and use the integrated WiFi card. I was lagging like Crysis 2 on a 6800 GT (forget it). I just got a CAT .5 cable, and plugged it into modem/xbox and IDK... it works, I'm online, but basically my question is:Does ethernet connections have less ping (better) than wireless connections? This is with the Xbox 360 Slim. I know it improves upload, and download, but what about ping?

I have a Dell XPS M1530 with Vista 32 bit. When i plug in a cable i get nothing, no error, and the comp does not recognize that a cable has been plugged in. I think that this started after my Hard drive failed and Dell replaced it but i'm not positive. No errors (? or !) in Device Manager and I can't find the Marvell 88E80XX 10/100 Ethernet Controller in device manager. I have attempted to Reinstall the drivers. The wireless is still working. I have one Light to the right of the port that is on all the time solid but no flashing with the cable in or out.
