  • I need help setting up a home network

    I have a 7 m DSL connection. Using a modem without phone/ethernet gateway serving a computer office wired ethernet and a wireless laptop, I would like to know if I should put in place a network home ethernet and add a wireless device or I set up a wireless network and add a wired ethernet device. Two computers use Vista Home Premium 64 - bit OS. I have 1 printer and a XBox (wired) and a (wired) DirectTV receiver attached, too.

    What is the brand and model of your wireless/ethernet modem access point?  It should be able to provide any wireless networks and wired Ethernet network.

    Wired Ethernet ports how do I need?  If she has enough for all computers and devices that you want to network, you're ready.  If not, connect a wired Ethernet switch for more ports.

    My mother has a desktop in Vista and two laptop computers, 1 on Vista and XP 1. the office is connected to the internet and has a wireless modem. the two laptops are wireless connections and both can connect to the internet using the wireless. The printer is connected to the desktop computer and file/printer sharing enabled. I can't connect to a home network.

    Home both my desktop and my laptop are Windows 7 and both are connected to the home network and I can share my printer. I can't seem to find the right/instructions buttons to connect his and do his work. Any suggestions?

    I tried to run the tutorial "set up a home network" and solve problems, but since they are different versions that the buttons are not in the same place and are marked differently.

    Hello

    This"the desktop computer is connected to the internet and a wireless modem" , is not clear.

    To have a coherent network, the Modem is connected to the network, the router must be connected next Modem WAN, and the wire from the computer or the wireless must be connected to the router.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic.

  • CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

    I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

    Hello
     
    To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
    a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
    (b) the value of the private network location type.
    c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
    d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
    e. consider using password protected sharing.
    5 using the network card.
     
    The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.
     
    To install LLTD, visit the following link and download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120

    I need to move from XP home to Windows 7 Pro on the side of the merger of my Mac. I have 3 computers I have to do this on.  Then I load the full version and not lose the software I have on the side of the fusion of windows or do I have to use the upgrade. If I lose the software I have loaded I have to buy it again.
