Connect a Vista PC (host) with an XP PC in LAN and share the internet connection.

I connect to internet using 3 different notebooks with Windows Vista with a wireless connection to a router and the DSL modem. I have a desktop PC XP computer in a secluded spot in my house, who does not have a wireless card. When I want to use the internet in Office XP, I connect it to a laptop using a LAN cable.

I was able to do that with 2 of my notebooks (set up the network and share the internet), but with the third Vista notebook, desktop XP can't get the internet connection established. I was not able to detect which is the problem.

First question: clues to debug this problem?

Second question: I would like to start over again and configure everything again with this third book. How should I proceed?

Turn on Internet connection sharing on the Vista wireless network connection.  If asked what to use for the home network connection, tell him to use the connection to the Local network. Then check the State of TCP/IP on both computers:

  1. On the Vista computer, right-click on the connection to the Local network, and then click on status > details . It must show:

    • IP address: 192.168.0.1
    • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Default gateway: no
    • Server DNS = none
  2. On the XP computer, right-click on the connection to the Local network, and then click on status > support > details . It must show:
    • IP address: 192.168.0.x (1<>
    • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
    • = 192.168.0.1 DNS server

He was still struggling with the same problem. Went in the appdata folder and two files sessionstore.js there.

  • Share the internet connection with Bridged mode

    Hello world

    I have a windows Vista as a host with Wi - FI where I installed Vmware server on it and I rode Windows XP with bridge connection.

    But I can't have internet on my Windows XP.

    Of course, it works with connection NAT but I want a bridge connection, so I can set a manual IP address to my windows XP.

    Here's how my Windows Xp is configured:

    IP address: 192.168.0.2

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 (this is my Windows Vista for IP configured on the NIC)

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Check which physical adapter network bridge is connected to.  I assume that your host also has an ethernet port?  Run the application 'manage virtual networks' administrator and check.  You can use this to change the connection open to use the wifi adapter.

  • How do I set up Windows mail to work with an iphone5 in mode 'hot spot' as the internet connection.

    My internet is now via an iphone5 used as a hot spot.  How can I set up Vista "windows mail" to use with this? I've always used Windows mail when I had a high traditional rural snail speed dial and would still do that?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    The hotspot just iPhone connects you to the Internet, the e-mail application does not really know the difference (as much as he knows, he might as well be a Starbucks WiFi at the coffee shop).

    It seems that you are properly connected to the hotspot, but that your e-mail program is not configured to download emails to iCloud.  Your hotspot is actually not related to that.  The mail app will download mail, regardless of how you connect to the web.

    To set up your e-mail to iCloud program, you'll want to go to the account options in the e-mail software and add your iCloud account.

    See: How to add or remove a Windows mail account

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-or-remove-a-Windows-mail-account

    While you are on this page, do not forget knowledge more under the "Add account, end to end", which includes images and examples to help you set up the account.

    After that, you should start getting your email into the Windows Mail program.

  • Cannot share the internet connection on the network with sprint card

    Hi all

    I'm stumped on this one. I'm working on my network of fathers, and he lives in a rural area. Unfourantely, there are not a lot of internet service here. It uses a printed card that connect locally to a windos vista home pc. From there on, the connection is shared and that the pc is connected to a linksys router. The router, then hosts a wireless network and hard line connections. About three weeks ago, the Internet stopped working except the computer, map of sprint is hung directly. I tried the following options below to solve the problem.

    1. I can plug the card sprint to any computer and it works.

    2. I replaced the network adapter on the host computer

    3. I have tried the card sprint on other computers and tried to share from there. Same result

    4. replace the router

    5 opportunity anotehr card Sprint which has been known to work

    6. replace the network cable between pc and router

    7. I tried removing the router from the equation and ran a network of host pc card form for directly to another computer

    8. the host and also renovated of other computers reformated

    9. do you have an ipconfig/release and renew

    10 tried sharing all NICs on the host PC

    When sharing the connection, I can see all the computers on the network. They arise, there is simply not an internet connection.

    The only mistake that I seem to get is not able to find the DNS. I put everything on dhcp.

    Any ideas that anyone can come would be most appreciated. Thank you

  • With the help of a PIX501 to secure and share an internet connection by cable

    Hi all

    I bought a PIX501 to secure my home cable modem connection and share it around my house. The PIX will act as a DHCP client (my ISP uses dynamic IP addressing) and use nat and DHCP break with my small number of inside customers.

    The default setting (set using the set up of PIX) seems ok - but I did a little "do-it-yourself" after some negative PIX customers I've read here in the United Kingdom.

    Specifically, I: -.

    -A refused requests incoming icmp (to make the "invisible" PIX to the outside world)

    -Created an access list to allow answers to my outgoing ping (something every geek network must be able to do)

    -The value "string fragment 1 outside" to drop incoming fragmented packets

    -Limit the number of connections to 200 and embroyonic at 50

    -Activated floodguard (although I don't think this should be necessary on such a lightly loaded network)

    -Compatible console logging so I have at least a bit of history of all attacks

    -Reduced some of the delays of the connection of their default values

    As I have a relatively new to this kind of thing anyone have specific advice or tips for a pix used this way?

    Thanks in advance,

    Andrew.

    When you work with ICMP, remember that [icmp] command to assign ICMP messages for the pix as the host, while the [access-list] command is used to assign ICMP messages that pass through the Pix.

    If you are using IPSec tunnels through the Pix, you can consider letting in string fragment of 2 sizes. IPSec creates broad enough to cause a lot of packets to be fragmented. Path MTU discovery would prevent, but many networks prevent incoming requests that allow the discovery to work. For this same reason, you can also consider allowing the Pix to get unreachable inside your host name if you the Pix end VPN tunnels. [icmp outside any unreachable towing]

    Floodguard is enabled by default and does not need to be enabled. It should not be necessary on a little loaded network, but it would be necessary at the time of a DoS attack if you are Pix does authentication "uauth" of traffic entering or leaving the network.

    If you are interested, the Pix can authenticate users inside before allowing the traffic leaving using RADIUS. This is useful in situations like a web server inside is attacked from outside. By the application of authentication for other traffic to leave for offending guests options are very limited. A timeout is used to trigger authentication again after some time. The [floodguard] is used to protect this feature "uauth' of the Pix.

    The Pix has signatures VERY BASIC integrated IDS that you can activate by using the set of commands [assessment of intellectual property].

    Enable SSH for authentication and encryption by generating an RSA key and saving it to Flash. [AC product key 1024 rsa] and [ca save all] disable telnet by removing all orders [telnet] and replace them with [ssh]. [http] should also be limited as much as possible for the administration.

  • HP G72 laptop with win 7 ultra randomly grave time and also the internet connection

    I have two laptops running wireless, HP and an old Dell with XPS. The Dell works well with wireless and Wired internet and printer. The two laptops are side by side and wireless to the router provided by my ISP, Time Warner. The Hp also works very well with/wireless internet and to the printer until it disconnects from the internet/printer, date in which I simply turn off the Radio by using the f12 key and then re - turn on the radio with the key and continue my work. Sometimes the interval on maybe 20 minutes and a few hours. The computer loses the date/time, also on some different random intervals and reset it as well as the internet delivered to a server provides only temporary reset for a random period. Seems one of the ntp servers provides longer periods of internet connection than most other servers, including those of the nist.

    It's way on my ability to fix, but from what I have learned, it seems this could be a timing issue applicable to both the disconnect from the internet and issues of specifying unstable computer date to the portable win 7 only.

    I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions on how to solve these two problems.

    Fred

    On March 8, I used Microsoft FIX IT to automatically reset the TCP/IP as suggested and restarted the computer and then reset the time. I haven't changed the time zone and guess that change from time to time would happen automatically. From that moment, the internet remains connected and the date / time is correct at the new time after 21hours which is encouraging. I do not understand how to reset TCP/IP would correct the problem of random disconnection of the internet, but I'll be glad if these two issues are cured and can only express my thanks to all who responded.

  • Computer Vista becomes errors with physical memory dump blue screen and restart

    I have a problem with my computer going to a blue screen, dump physical memory saying and a lot of other things, then by restarting. It grows more and more frequent.
    Please help and thank you

    You have several errors:

    LeAPC_INDEX_MISMATCHErreur bug control has a value of 0x00000001. This indicates that there is an inconsistency in the index of State APC.

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA bug control has a value of 0 x 00000050. This indicates that invalid system memory was referenced.

    Control bug IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A value a. This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a driver in mode accessed kernel memory paged at DISPATCH_LEVEL level or above.

    Bug SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control has a value of 0x0000007E. This bug check indicates that a system thread threw an exception that the error handler did not.

    One of the mistakes led to the crash by aswsp.sys. The rest of modules of windows so other thing he led to the crash. So its best to start with aswsp.sys. This file is part of your avast antivirus software. I would download the latest avast antivirus. Uninstall the version you have and install the latest version. I'd also that you have the latest windows updates and patches. Once you've done that I could monitor and see if you have more blue screens.

  • Stop and start the Internet service with X 2000

    I just installed the X 2000 and managed to get my Win7 Home Premium connected to the Internet and also a wireless device. Previously, I had just a modem.

    Sometimes, when my PC is on, I want to disconnect from the Internet and then connect again.  There is an icon at the bottom right of my toolbar that allowed me to connect and disconnect with my old modem, but he seems to know only the old modem.

    Basically it is operated by the boot sequence: all items in Control Panel > network connections > connection broadband.  This function does not work; It tries to connect (via "WAN Miniport (PPPOE)") and gets "error 651: the modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error."

    Can you tell me what, where is the program that seems to start the connection Internet for the X 2000 and if I can change the settings of the Win7 "connection broadband" to use the X 2000?  Maybe the setting "Connect we Demand" in the "basic settings" of the X 2000 is involved?

    1. This will cut the internet connection of the router. He cut the internet connection for all THE devices connected to the router. He kills the internet connection of your iPad, too.

    2. I think that there is no guarantee that the router resets automatically later.

    3. it is not your computer safer. In General, if you get malware from the internet it's while you're doing something in the internet, navigation, for example. So not navigation and does not download emails are for most people means more effective "disconnect from the internet. Cut the internet connection won't make a difference unless your computer is already infected in which case it won't matter either because the malicious software on your computer may also just sit silently and wait for the connection to return.

    4 disconnect the internet link for the safety of your PC is pretty useless. It will not matter. At that time there you do nothing in the internet anyway. And it's not as if a clean computer would suddenly be infected only because somewhere there is an internet connection. Your router is a NAT gateway. Your LAN is already isolated from the internet, which is inaccessible from the internet, unless you have configured port forwarding, triggering or DMZ host.

    5. keep your computer up to date. If you wish, you can put the computer on standby during the absence. Saves energy and not enough good you want to do, even if it won't matter to safety.

  • Can not share the internet connection through Wifi

    Hi all

    I am connected to the internet using an external antenna connected via USB to my mac (WIRELESS n 801.11). I want to share this connection since my mac with other devices, i.e. my iPhone. I use the internet connection through system preferences--> sharing--> sharing internet--> connection on the part of wlan to computers via WIFI and give a name and a password for the wifi settings. When I start the connection icon wifi on the the high watch the arrow menu to the top, but it gives an IP address from 169 auto... etc etc and I can't any traffic to my iPhone.

    I tried to configure IPv4 to use DHCP with a manual (instead of automatic DHCP) address and IP I enter the IP address used in the WiFi, wifi says that it is connected to the name of the internet connection in the shared connection, I opened but once again no traffic to the iPhone. Also tried disabling the firewall, once again nothing.
