Wireless :: Change Computer From Dial-up To Wireless?
Jul 27, 2011
i have wireless network with my laptop and have been given another computer which is not a laptop and was on wireless how do i change it to connect to my wireless network i have tried setting up a new connection but it doesnt seem to have wireless connection set up, the computer is about 8 yrs old?
I have cable broadband internet. My internet modem is a Ubee D3.0. It is connected to my Netgear N600 Wifi router which have my computer and DirecTV hooked up to it via ethernet. My wifi went down the other day. Devices were connected, but were not getting any internet service. In troubleshooting, I attempted to dial in to the router using www.routerlogin.net as well as 192.168.0.1, and I could not get into the router. I assumed the router must have crashed, and I only purchased it a month ago, so I took it back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. I got home and plugged it in, still not working. I can't access it using the above mentioned methods, and the setup software does not detect a router present. I unplugged the router and hooked the computer up directly to the internet modem. Still no luck. The computer does show a network connection in the system tray, but with no internet. I plugged my laptop in to the internet modem, and I am able to get internet just fine from my laptop. I even did a system restore to a restore point last week when I know the internet was working. No luck.
I moved to a remote area where I cannot get DSL or Broadband. I can however get Dial up, like earthlink and Netzero. Before I signup for one of these services, I would like to know if there is any way to make my dialup a wireless conection for my laptops. I like to move around using the computer, I hate being at a desk having to sit there and not be able to move where I want.I have a modem that I used for my old dsl connection. Will this work?
I have a dlink DWA130 wireless N adapter connected and working. But AOL Dialup takes over. When disconnecting the phone line for AOL, there is no internet connection. The adapter is connected and has great signal strength. What can I do to make the wireless adapter work independently from AOL dialup?
I have an HP desktop and an Acer Aspire 16" laptop that I have had for 2 years. The laptop has built in WiFi, but luckily has a 56k modem also. Now for the problem....Saturday my husband bought me a wireless Velocity Cruz 7" color Tablet. I has been told in the past that all I had to do was buy a wireless router and plug it into the phone line. But today I called both Radio Shack and Office Max and asked if you could hook up a wireless router to dialup and both places told me absolutely not because dialup was too slow.
I can't change only computer name. But if I change both computer name and work group, I could change it.Actually, I want to change only my computer name, not my workgroup name.
My roommate has made himself network administrator of our home network and is using it to leverage favors out of me. He has some how band my computer from the network so that even though I know the password I still can't connect. I need a way to change how the network identifies my computer so that I can get back in to the network. I have already changed my computer's Name and description and that didn't work.
I am with Virgin media (UK) and have the 20mbps fiber optic connection. My area has recently been having problems with the broadband and Virgin has recently fixed these problems. However I used to get around 19mbps now that the problem is fixed my computer which is wired to the router gets about 0.4mbps downstream... However the 5 wireless computers all get 16mbps which is pretty good for them. Windows tells me that its a firewall issue and I currently can't use two programs, spotify and steam. They both have firewall issues, even if I turn off my firewall which is the windows one. I also have avast, and when I turn that off, still no good. I used OpenDNS, stopped using that flushed my DNS, that didnt work. I tried to optimize my computer settings, by changing various values in Regedit.All of this has done nothing. I should add that I have recently re-installed Windows 7 so on this fresh install it has never had decent internet speed. Which I thought was weird.. I have basically had these problems since the fresh install. All of my drivers are up to date.
I have a netgear router, the pc I want to print from is connected via ethernet strait to router with Vista Ultimate OS. The computer the printer is hooked up to is connected via usb wireless adapter with Windows XP OS. Can I print from my computer hooked up via Ethernet from the computer that is hooked up wireless.
I was changing some settings on the router, disabled the WMM QoS, and I can no longer see either the 2.4 or 5GHz networks. I power cycled, tried resetting to defaults but the wireless seems to be dead. I can manage it wired, but that does me no good.
The servers are calibrated to allow this, however I'm not sure how to connect from my end. I have an assignment where I have to dial into both a Windows server and an Ubuntu server to conduct some tasks (the actual process of dialing into the servers is not part of the assignment). I've been given the username, password, IP address, and protocol for each server. However, I cannot figure out how to use these to "dial into" them.I am running Windows 7 on a wireless connection
My HP home vista keeps on disconnecting.I use dial up. The IPS service provider said to plug the computer directly into the phone jack without using the splitter which is a plug that has two openings(1 for phone and 1 for the computer in the event that the splitter is bad) I tried this and as soon as a connection is made about a minute later I'm disconnected again. Any ideas as how to resolve this problem? Also I was told that if I have DSL that this wouldn't be a problem
I have two pcs not connected other than keyboard and monitor. Both have identical USB dial up modems. I PC running Windows XP connects every time, the other running Windows 2000 connects only sometimes. Like this morning it connected on the third attempt and I was able to move a lot of files. When I tried again later I got five attempts and then "no answer".
The PPPoE connection can be successfully established only if the PC dials up, but not if the router replaces the PC to do so.Both the PC and the router are identically configured for this purpose, i.e. using the same ADSL dial-up account(usr/passwd pair). As a whole, we can exclude any wrong configuration on the router itself.
I have a ventilation controller that connects using a phone line. I have do not have a second phone line to dial out with my computer. is there a way i could set up dialing via broadband?
I had a Sony Viao with Windows Vista for some years and I managed to create a bridge using the Sony Viao laptop and my o2 usb modem. That was some time ago and now I have a new laptop with Windows 7 ?I have to mention that I do not have wireless connections. I have an o2 modem and an ethernet cable. They are the only two connections that show up in my internet connections. The LAN connection has an image of a ethernet cable connection while the o2 connection has an image of a phone.whenever I watch youtube walk throughs it never looks like my set up. Ive tried everything over and over. Turning off UAC, turning on sharing but nothing has worked yet. When I just select the LAN connection and right click there is an option to Bridge. When I right click the o2 connection its not there. When I select both the option isnt there either.
I am without my connection until repairs are made inthe following week. I am trying to set up netzero with my current equipment, but cannot find the cd for my netgear router WNR1000.
Basically i need to test to see where the telephone lines are terminated, because when they where built into the walls the used standard cat5e cable to terminate it to an RJ-11 jack but over in the wiring panel it (i assume it is anyways) terminates to an RJ-45 jack but im not sure if this is really the cable for the telephone or something else, so i have a phone connected to the wall jack and a computer on this end and i would like to send a dial tone or any tone in general that the phone can pickup.
I's studying for my Network+ exam, and I somewhat confused when reading up on internet protocol. Is PPP only used for Dial Up connections, or also with Broadband? And what type of encryption if any does it use?
