How to stop a pc believer that it is always the host in a network home?

I had a PC that is connected to the router on a home network.  It's the host pc.  I could connect wirelessly from my laptop to the home network.  No problem.

I bought a new PC, which is now the pc host on the home network.  I moved the old pc in my son's room, and it has a WiFi dongle so that it can connect wirelessly to the router.  Problem is what old PC sees the network, but cannot connect to it.  As it allows to be the host pc, is it some sort of setting I should change on this old PC so that it can connect to the network?

Hi, Birchy67,

There is no host computer are the same not configured with a different IP address, which is usually provided by the router

    How to stop messages from Skype that suddenly appears on my screen when other people use my computer?  using windows 8, but I can't control these messages (sometimes very) distracting to appear?

    Hello

    If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user.  They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.

  • How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

    HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

    How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

    Just tested myself and my shortcut is there.

    DRS Rule for Host affinity check names of datatore that they match to the hosts

    Our guests all start with three characters make the difference between SiteA1 and SiteB1, that is sa1host1 sa1host2... sa1host9 and sb2host1, sb2host2, sb2host9, etc.

    Our warehouses are the names "sa1_exch01", "sa1_sql_01", sa1_data_01"for all data stores that are found on the Site1.  While the warehouses of data named 'sb2_exch01', 'sb2_sql_01', sb2_data_01' for all data stores that are found on the Site2.

    Can help you with a script that will check all virtual machines on the hosts on Site1 and report those who have warehouses of data does begin with 'sa1' and similarly all virtual machines on the hosts on the Site2 but give report of those who have warehouses of data that do not begin with "sb2.

    Try something like this

    $vms = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Datastore,"Runtime.Host"
    
    foreach($vm in $vms){    $esx = Get-View $vm.Runtime.Host -Property Name    $ds = Get-View $vm.Datastore -Property Name    if($ds | where {$_.Name.Substring(0,3) -notmatch $esx.Name.Substring(0,3)}){        $vm | Select Name,            @{N="Site";E={if($esx.Name.Substring(0,3) -eq "sa1"){"SiteA1"}else{"SiteB1"}}},            @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name.Split('.')[0]}},            @{N="DS";E={[string]::Join(',',($ds | %{$_.Name}))}}    }}

  • Why will my router stops transmitting the internet signal after that I turned off the host computer?

    Hi members of the community.

    first of all, my setup:

    modem - router (wrt320n lynksis, yesterday I uplodaded latest firmware - it does not help)---(par câble), PC (windows 8)
    l
    l
    various devices (cable TV, wireless: laptop computer (windows XP), phones (Iphone, android, phone etc.))
    Second question:
    Until now, I had no problem with router, but as I connected the new PC, with windows 8 is installed, the router, I began to encounter the following problem: I turn the host computer (wired, PC with windows 8) off after a minute or two the router (if not always on) continues to transmit the internet signal with other devices (wired (TV) and other wireless).  What's also interesting is that, when I unplug the PC from the router ethernet cable (when the PC is turned off), the router begins to function normally. Why and how to fix it? It seems that the PC would stop the router in the transmission of the signal.
    I would apreciate any help I could get. Because the router is working otherwise fine (when the computer host is turned on when the PC is disconnected from the it), I guess it has something to do with the windows configuration.
    Thank you all,.

    Hi there... we have a different router, but I had exactly the thing happens to me when my husband bought his new computer. After hours of technical support that gave no results of our router manufacturer, I did some research on the web, a vast and I think I found the solution.

    Go to control panel > system and security > system > Device Manager > network adapters > find your network card (mine says in time real PCIe GBE) open cela, go to power management and uncheck the BOX allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

    After that I did that my router is no longer turns off/goes to sleep when my computer is. Offshore.

    Give that a try, and if all goes well, it will help you too.

    You do not have.  Cannot install iOS Apps devices from anywhere, but the App store.   If it is not in the App Store, the app is very probably not designed for iOS and would not be able to be run in any case.

    In my view, that it is a list ActiveX controls that are installed on your system. Add on, install the corresponding application and it should appear in the list.

    Please note that ActiveX is outdated and not supported by modern browsers. What you are trying to add? It is probably a better way to achieve the same goal, which is supported by browsers.
