• How to find my network name?

  original title: Internet

  One of my friends came from China and she brought a laptop with it. When she arrived home, she could not connect to the Internet even if my PC can. When we looked in wireless connections, it did not show the name of our network. I have to ask how I can find it.

  It depends on if the router assigns to hide my SSID or wireless network name.

  You must Access the router interface or GUI and find the wireless settings, and then view the name of the wireless network.

  If you have hidden then you should keep the name of your wireless network, as others prefer to hide the name so no one else will be able to see and connect to.

  You must also consider your WEP or password make sure that you have it.

  you know your IP of the gateway?

  Let's find out who. Press the windows from the keyboard, and then press R in total.

  There type cmd and press ENTER.

  type at the command prompt.

  ipconfig

  Send us the details here or just look for the default gateway and get back to us.

  from there, we will be able to access the router page I hope that the username and password which is always enabled by default, which is the user name: admin password is password or admin.

  * your ISP can help you get the router as well.

  Thank you

• How to secure the network after reset of the router WRT54G2

  Hello

  I could reset the WRT54G2 router with no problems, I have the IP address as 192.68.2.1 right now, but when I try to record things in the wireless security mode to make my secure system loses connectivity, fall of red zone. Then I can not connect to 192.68.2.1 more. How can I make the network secure? I usually follow the steps for making it from docs online but seems to have problems with it. Is that I can make it safe with the 192.68.1.1 or the amount of the fine with 192.68.2.1?

  San

  Make sure that your computer is connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, if you try to change the settings on your router using a wireless computer, then you will face this problem. So wired your computer to the router, turn off the WiFi feature on your router and then changes on your router and you should be to save your router settings.

• 1217nfw MFP how to change network name and password when you buy a new routers

  I have a 1217nfw MFP.  It was working fine without thread.  Then my router has stopped working properly.  I bought a new router and easily set up my computer, the iPad and the iPhone to work with her.  But I don't know how to change the printer set up so that he will see and connect to the new router (i.e., change the network name and the password that the printer uses to connect).  Someone knows how to do this without having to uninstall and reinstall the printer as if it was fresh out of the box?  Thanks for your help.

  Thanks a lot for your help.  The choice to click on my laptop were not quite the same as stated in the article, but the article got to the right spot and I was able to figure out the rest.  So now my laptop is wireless printing.  MacBook Air my wife still does not work, but I'll play with it after the holiday weekend.  Do you know of an article that allows to change the name of the router and the password when it is a Mac?  Whatever it is, thank you very much for your quick response and help.

• How to remove or delete profiles redundant network (names) of my office and laptops running Windows 7?

  With Verizon DSL modem in bridge and as a router Linksys WRT 160N, my desktop and laptop computers have been in a network.  Laptop computer and printer via wireless and desktop wired.  The name of the network used to be the same for all connected devices.  However, when my Linksys gave the soul about a week ago, I reconnected it via the Verizon Actiontec WRT704G modem/router combination and since I could not print from the laptop, and it takes about 5 minutes to print 2 pages of my office.  The network name on my desktop by default automatically to the network 4, and on the laptop, there '2' after the former name of network.  With different network names, I couldn't set up my home group.  But I have access to the internet on both computers.  The network name (SSID) on the site config the router and the printer is the same: the former name of the network without the '2'.

  I need help or advice on how to clear or remove these other network names and have just 1 network name for all connected devices.  I know that in Vista, you can merge or remove network profiles but can't seem to find a way to do this under Windows 7.  Also, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and the Office on Home Premiun 64 bit.

  Thank you

• We have many laptops in our House that we want to print our primary computer. How to create a network?

  Four laptops and a main computer

  You have left out a lot of information, like how you get to the Internet and what systems of operation or Service Pack levels different computers are running, and if the printer is connected locally to a particular computer. So I'll give you some general tips and then if you have any questions you can come back with the lack of details and I can be more specific.

  General steps:

  1. do you have a router (or a combination modem/router). This will create the Local ("LAN") network. If all the computers are connected to wireless local area network, make sure that you configure the network wireless safely. See below for more details.

  2. best solution - to have a printer real network which is connected by cable (wireless only if it is not close to the router) to the router. Then all computers on the local network can print to it without the need of a particular computer to be turned on.

  3. If your printer can be connected locally (directly to a computer via a USB cable), then:

  a. set up the file/printer sharing on all computers (see below for more details);
  b. install the printer on every computer.

  Configuration of the router wireless safely:

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx
  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• How to configure the network home wiFi with dlink router

  I need to create a home network using the dlink WiFi router
  a computer with Vista and the second with XP
  can someone tell me what havo to do to configure the router etc etc o give me same informamation on where I can learn to do
  I want just the old pc with xp for the server and the vista one customer but more importantly I need the file on XP to migrate under vista.
  Thank you very muche for your end of the patient cooperation
  in return, I give free cooking classes
  see you soon

  I'm not sure if you are asking how to set up a secure wireless network, if you ask how to share files between your two computers (and there is no "customer" or "server" in a working group, in a field - which is not), or both.

  So I will give you information on doing both.

  Router - configure manually

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
  2. attach a class (usually supplied with the router) ethernet cable cat5e port Internet/WAN from the router to the ethernet port on the cable modem.
  3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys.
