• E1000 - two routers come... 1 network leaves...

  Yes, he stole from Thunderdome, but he's not going to my question. I have 2 e1000s and bring them all to two internet are relatively simple. What is not so simple, for me, is to see these two places (each router & computers) as a major network, I can do the little file sharing. Two routers are connected via a CAT5 cable long enough. However, I will use different operating systems with them (Liunx, Windows, OS x, Android, XBox360, etc.) and I need them all see each other at both ends. I want them to leave with a nice, clean for the first router 192.168.1.1 and ask the second associated as 192.168.1.2 (using MAC address... reservations IF possible). I guess that the installer on the second router will have to be done manually and the DHCP should 'probably' be disabled so the first router can assign all IP # s. problem is, I'm not on my period on the manual configuration of the second router. I have tried setting up and had this message on the IP address of the router in router subnet 1 s 2. The last time I did any 'real' network has more than ten years and I'm rusty on all this. Basically I have not sat down and read the books involving all this because that, even if I am amazing on learning by example, I have a bit of a learning issue with books... she sucks and I am one of those who simply cannot get certain techno-jargon to stay in my brain, unless someone it simplifies a bit. Can someone point me in the right direction to sorta? PS - until I get all these answers to 'use the search engine', I already did. But a search engine can be one of two things, useful or useless depending on the person knowing the right words to use (and I obviously didn't). Again, it is a problem for me in some cases. If someone knows the answer, I'll be very grateful and I'll be more than happy to say 'thank you '. If you don't know the answer, just be an adult and leave that would be.

  1. follow the number 1.  LAN - LAN

  http://www6.nohold.NET/Cisco2/UKP.aspx?VW=1&articleid=3733

  2. in addition, I click on the Security tab of the secondary router and uncheck "filter anonymous internet requests".  You will probably have to do it, but for some reason, I have to do this on an older linksys operate between main router and router secondary file share.

  The above configuration is that I use and I have no problem sharing files between computers.

• MP560 on a Mac OS x networking with Windows 7, recognizes the network but does not print text

  I have a Canon Pixma MP560 connected to a MacBook Pro with OS 10.9.5 which is wire connected to the network via a modem from Time Warner Arris TG862 to a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop computer and a desktop computer, Lenovo, which have two Windows 7. The printer is the USB cable connected to the MacBook and works very well. On the Mac in System Preferences > sharing, printer sharing is enabled, the MP560 put highlight and users > 'everyone can print. " and the system of preferences > printers, Scanners & "share this printer on the network" is selected. On the Lenovo and Dell, I installed Hello, and both can 'see' the MP560 and file > print on both, the printer is recognized and activated. BUT she shoots a white sheet; the text is not printed. Obviously there is something that I did not, any box I've unchecked. I'd appreciate any ideas! Thank you.

  A few days after posting here, I asked this question on another Canon Website and learned that in similar circumstances to mine described here, Canon recommends that the MP560 "be connected to your Windows computer then shared to your Macintosh', rather than, as in my case, saw the MP560 connected to the Mac and then sharing with Windows computers.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry "BOLD" - problem connecting Wi Fi "unable to associate the network."

  Hello

  I am trying to configure my Blackberry "BOLD" new, I am new to the platform - from an iPhone.

  Unfortunately, I have problems to connect to my home wireless network. I tried two routers, the first being a pre-configured Tiscali (WPA encryption) and the second a Netgear mine. With the Netgear I tried to connect the Blackberry without security at all and the WEP. The Blackberry scans and detects my network, but is then unable to connect each time. Simply, I get the following message on the phone:

  Unable to connect 'Impossible to associate the network '.

  It really spoil things for me, because it is important that I can connect to the wi fi network. I had no problem before by connecting the iPhone, Nokia or Windows Mobile devices.

  Thank you in advance,

  Wendy.

  You will need to remove your battery, wait a few seconds and then put the battery in.  You'll notice that whenever your blackberry starts acting weird, remove the battery usually solves the problem. Turn off the phone, is a bit like putting your computer into sleep mode more.  Take out the battery if want to make a stop, cold-start of a computer.

• Exclude the network using BGP network command

  Hello:

  I am using BGP and I do redistribution of OSPF into BGP while I read the best way to do it is to use the network command.

  Now, I do the redistribution of OSPF in BGP using a list of prefixes that specifies the network to redistribute.

  Is possible to do so by the order of network?

  My network to redistribute is the 8.0.0.0 / 8 but the 8.0.0.0 / 16 is excluded.

  The IGP network is with specific directions of IP, so I think I also use the Auto-resume option or set the order of the aggregate-address.

  Another option that I prefer is to advertise the network into parts because some routers of entry to ACE are better for the first part of the network and the other are better in the second part. So I intend to announce that this networks.

  • 8.0.0.0 / 9 (excluding 8.0.0.0 / 16)
  • 8.128.0.0 / 9

  Thank you very much for your help. In this case, Juan.

  Hi you

  By default, network control announce only mask what u applied and it should be existed in the routing table.

  Another option, you can use the roadmap as well with the network command

• Separate physical network for VMotion?

  In my design to an ESXi 3.5 on HP Blades I've defined for the management network 2 natachasery and 2 natachasery for VMotion. These go to separate switches blade Cisco 3120. Now I stipulated a stack of external switch to reach the switches for VMotion. The management of the network switches then go to another pile of management. Client E wants to reduce costs by sharing the external battery for traffic management and Vmotion and segregation through VLANs and making the VMotion VLAN non routable. Will there be falls for this?

  Keep in mind, it is a safe place. IW has also always said that VLANing should not serve as a separation of security because of the possibility of VLAN hopping. What are the risks here? Keep in mind that it is a sensitive network of defence-biased, so I try to separate the networks as much as possible.

  Your ideas are welcome

  If you have material (switches) in order to separate the network infrastructure then I do for reasons of pure performance.

  A physical firewall allows us to block all to enter our management and VMotion networks.

  They are both VLAN behind the firewall, but we can still allow a privileged access to the workstations of the administrator or a management server to reduce the footprint.  This method allows to manage the network with special exceptions.

  Sound risk pure vs cost.  If you think you have a good chance of someone Vlan jumping on your internal network, and then using physical security is the best bet.  If it's a low risk, then just segment it out with VLAN and use access lists and change ports to reduce the risk of vlan hopping.

  Hope this helps you decide.

• Network: 2 routers Apple broadcasting separate wireless networks; one (Xfinity/Comcast) cable modem

  Hello community!  Need help, I want to use two routers to establish two separate wireless networks on a cable modem connection.  I searched for my answer and see some other threads on this topic, but all are either a bit too technical for me, are incomplete on the answers to my questions - and all seem to be locked.  I have also searched YouTube and only see videos to extend a network with two routers - not my goal.  So here is a long, but a detailed post on what I need someone help with - thank you very much in advance if anyone can all small-not me-I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

  The program installation/hardware: I have internet Comcast/Xfinity that runs to a Motorola surfboard cable modem (SB6141).  I also have two routers apple - a Time Capsule from Apple AirPort (to end 2013) and a new (2016) AirPort Extreme.

  Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

  My plan is to have the cable modem Surfboard connect to airport Time Capsule, which will then connect to AirPort Extreme (even if it could be reverse - no difference, except that the data that I show below comes from the time Capsule, which is currently connected to the modem cable).

  To read the previous discussions, it seems that the starting point would be: modem router #1 Ethernet WAN, then a router cable #1 LAN Ethernet to the Router #2.

  First issue of clarification - the connecting cable should go to the Ethernet WAN port on the Router #2 or a LAN Ethernet port?

  Now that the first easy question is the road, I need help to configure two routers connected to allow two separate networks.  A lot of discussions about the positions of static IP addresses, cascade, etc..  I need specific help with AirPort Utility on what to change on what router.  It seems obvious that the settings under the 'Internet' and 'Network' tabs are those who need to set - the 'wireless' tabs simply treats the name of the wireless network and settings - these, at least I can understand!

  I'll organise this tabbed - here go us.

  First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

  Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

  This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

  It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

  If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

  Next up, the 'Network' tab utility AirPort/window.

  Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

  If I click on the 'Network Options' button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the "Networking Options" window Here I have areas of entry to specify the DHCP lease duration, can specify the DHCP IPv4 range, as well as part of the extended DHCP IPv4 comments.  There are checkboxes: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Select the host by default (with input if selected text box); Enable the IGMP Snooping; Block incoming IPv6 connections; Allow the Teredo Tunnels; and allow inbound IPSec authentication.

  For this window, here is the current settings on the Router #1:

  DHCP lease is 1 day; Beach DHCP IPv6 is 10.1.2 to 200; Hosts IPv4 DHCP Range is 172.16.42.2 to 200.  The following check boxes are enabled/checked: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Block incoming IPv6 connections; And allow inbound IPSec authentication.

  Who can help me? What parameters, if all do I need to change the #1 router?  How to set up router #2 to make a second wireless network?

  Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

  What you really need is a combination router / Ethernet switches that s supports VLANdedicated. Given that Apple routers do not, at best, you can potentially get the results that you are looking for, but at a performance cost. In other words, you can have two separate WiFi networks where clients connected to a network can not 'see' those related to another and both routers will always provide access to the Internet through Comcast modem. Note: Arris / Motorola SB6141 isn't a gateway device. Instead, it's a simple modem. A gateway is a router modem combination.

  To do this, should do the following:

  • The Time Capsule (TC) would need to be directly connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. This base station would remain in its default configuration of the router. In other words, the router Mode (in AirPort Utility) would establish: DHCP and NAT.
  • AirPort Extreme would be directly linked to TB by Ethernet. The cable must be connected to one of the LAN ports on the TC on the WAN port to the extreme. It must also be configured as a router. However, there are differences in the extreme:
    • Use a different name to the Wi - Fi network.
    • Use another range of IP DHCP address. By default, Apple base stations use IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range. I suggest that you set the base station of the second on 192.168.x.x range.

  There is a major drawback with this configuration. The second base station will be in a State of "Double NAT". Although this "separating" the two networks on different subnets, this condition is not very effective and connected to this network of customers will get lower throughput performance. There is no way around it and it is not recommended.

  First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

  Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

  The two should be: DHCP.

  This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

  These leave it as what. The TC is information of IP address of the modem. The extreme, he'll get the TC.

  It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

  These leave it as what.

  If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

  Unless your ISP provides your IPv6 service, change the IPv6 configuration option to: 'Link-local only' on two base stations.

  Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

  Router mode should be: DHCP and NAT to two base stations. Ignore the DHCP reservations and Port settings for now. Let the current DHCP range for the TC. Change the DHCP range for extreme for: 192.168.1.2 a.200. At this point do not access control for each base station.

  Since you seem to need the step by step instructions or need help to understand the different terms networking, I highly recommend that you help you to become familiar with networking, specifically on Apple systems. I suggest you consider taking the e-Book to the next control: take control of your Wi - Fi Applehttps://www.takecontrolbooks.com/apple-wifi network

• Two routers on the same network wireless?

  Last night I bought a WRT160N, to replace my old WRT54G. The 160N is now in my room, connected to a cable modem. The 160N ethernet ports, I have a cable that goes from my room, through my attic and comes out in my living room. In my living room, I'm willing to hang the cable that comes from my 160N to my WRT54G. Then ports ethernet on my WRT54G, I want to connect my Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. I have this connected physically this way, but the PS3 does not connect to the internet through this wired connection. (Have not tried the Xbox 360)

  Basically, I'm eager to share the connection from my wall between my PS3 and the Xbox 360 so that they both have wired connections. Also, I would like to know if I can have both routers broadcast wireless on the same channel, so they appear as two wireless networks. Is this possible?

  Looks like you will get almost everything on your wish list.  You can have two wireless routers, and they can both diffuse.  Normally, you would use the same SSID for both routers, but different channels.  Your wireless computer automatically selects the channel harder, so you can "roam" between two routers.  However, this "roaming" is not as good as with cell phones, then you should only "roam" when your wireless connection is idle (i.e. not an active download).

  See my post on this topic for more information on the configuration of your system:

• Connect two routers wireless from a modem, in two separate buildings

  I'm new here, not completely incompitant and certainly not to this day with all the jargon, please make a simple answer.  I need to install 1 wireless router in a building where I recently installed the clients of satellite internet system.  You will also need to come from this internet connection to another building from about 100 feet away, where I will install a second wireless router.  The routers I bought are "N" and exactly the same thing.

  In my mind, I could come of the modem, to the first wireless router, creating the network in this building.  Detach from one of the ethernet ports on the back of this router with a Cat5 goes out of the building, the second building, where I would connect the Cat5 into the wan port on the wireless router second creation of the network for the second building.

  Not sure if it will work.  Don't know about bridging.  Please keep it simple.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Me

  You don't want to connect to the internet port of the second router. Instead do it this way.

  With this configuration if use identical SSID and wireless security settings you can even create a mobile wireless network, which is a wireless client can move the wireless AP to another (assuming that there is of course an overlapping coverage).

• Configure the host and the VM on two separate wireless networks

  Hello community, I was a browser for a long time, but this will be my first post.

  I would like to begin by saying that I have always found the answer I was looking for by browsing these forums and that I browsed discussions thereon and consulted the chapters regarding virtual networks in the manual workstation 7.1, but at this stage were still unable to solve my problem.

  The scenario:

  I'm a small business working in a House (upstairs) / hookah lounge (bottom). We recently had a second internet connection (WORK), Internet home of my family (HOME), to provide our customers with a free wi - fi. I would use the connection of WORK (during our hours of downtime) in a Ubuntu VM for folding and seeding of torrents. I want to put this far on a network traffic will not affect the other.

  The network:

  SE host: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  (Host) NIC: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (Mini PCI)

  VM: Ubuntu 10.04 on VMWare Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  NIC (VM): Alfa awus036h (USB)

  
  

  The current configuration:

  Network connection is made, the State of replication physical physical network is unchecked.

  The Alfa is connected to the virtual machine and is no longer present on the list of the network adapters in Windows.

  It seems that I have to manually disable the "auto eth 1" interface or the virtual machine using the internet connection in host rather than the network of your choice that the Alfa connects to in VMWorkstation. The speed of the internet with eth auto 1 is connected is quick and consistent, but using it defeats the purpose. Strangely, when I go to network connections, under the "last use" for "eth 1 auto ' it is said 'never '.

  When "eth 1 car" is disconnected, it seems that the virtual machine uses the network wireless connected to the Alfa. But the internet speed is very slow and inconsistent. On downloads, the speed varies considerably; Also, it remains at 0 kb/s for a while before going to 80 KB/s, then works his way down to 0 kb/s again.

  Possible solutions:

  1. it's a driver problem for the Alfa inside the VM environment all this time?

  2 just misunderstood how to set up this kind of virtual network?

  3 is it possible to get the desired configuration by filling the WORK and VMnet0/1/8?

  * Note: Only VMnet1 and VMnet8 appear on the Windows network connections, however isn't VMnet0 bridged one responsible for networking?

  4. upgrade to the current version of the desktop would be useful?

  5. do this problem originally because of some settings on the router?

  * Note: The AP is close enough to provide a signal strength of 85-90%

  Sorry to be so talkative, I just wanted to be as clear as possible because I'm still a beginner to learn more about virtualization.

  Thank you in advance, as always, your help is greatly appreciated.

  First of all, I must say that when I did this last response, I've been on my Mac and I thought the configuration of a host of Windows XP however outside the nomenclature of the names of the host network settings dialog box the rest stands as it is on a host Windows 7 as described below, including a picture as an attachment.

  On a Windows 7 x 64 host with two network adapters, each on a different subnet and VMware Workstation 7.1.3 installed with the editor of virtual computer network configured for VMnet0 and VMnet2 jumpered separately to one of the host of NIC and I have not changed the settings for Windows 7 host NIC-1 and have network/Internet connectivity to the host of this NETWORK adapter as shown in the picture of Google in Internet Explorer on the host computer.  In VMware Workstation 7.1.3 I have a Linux Guest configured to use VMnet2, which is filled in the settings and the Windows 7 host NIC-2 have all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked and have network/Internet connectivity in the guest as indicated by Google in a browser.

  From the perspective of connectivity network between the host and the guest by NIC - 2 on the host computer when all with the exception of VMware Bridge Protocol unchecked there is no connectivity between the two on this subnet because there are no protocol at stake to allow the conversation to take place.

  So theoretically and in practice what I said previously, but didn't were not expressly with a Windows 7 host in mind, nevertheless what I said is true and accurate, as evidenced by world real test/use by what I said and with the image attached herein.

  FWIW Windows 7 has been configured with the default settings and the only changes to the host's network were those made during the installation of VMware Workstation 7.1.3 so with the configuration I discussed with the attached picture, there is no reason why the host and the guest cannot be on different physical networks and each network/Internet connectivity based on the information I have provided and they be isolated from each other by being on separate physical networks.

  That said, even if they can be isolated by being on separate physical networks can still can connectivity between the 2 through VMware shared folders it it turned on and of course & slide and other services so if absolute isolation is necessary to the point where it can be, and the guest still operating system run on a Virtual Machine in the host you would need to disable the Backdoor for VMware Tools cannot provide shared folders on VMware, & glide and other services.  So if you need this isolation level let me know and I will provide additional information to complete it.

• Why are there two routers listed in the Network Infrastructure?

  I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router, but sometimes when I look at my network in the control panel it shows an extra router, that router ghost appears in the title of the Network Infrastructure. It's a WRT160N. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't.

  I have Windows 7.

  Why this is part of my network? Should I be worried? How can I stop it arise?

  What is the router of society provided separate cable from your cable modem? If so then why not just use the Netgear router instead of the provided ISP router?

  If it is a combination cable modem/router device and you want to run the Netgear router as a wireless access point then only...

  Here is a FAQ that will help you in this...

  http://www.dslreports.com/FAQ/11233

  Basically would be configured with a LAN IP in the same range as the IP address you get from the existing cable modem/router Netgear, Netgear is connected directly on the LAN cable port existing via a LAN port modem/router, Netgear DHCP server is disabled and that you configure the single wireless SSID, type of encryption (that is to say.) WPA2 is the best and do not use WEP) and a strong key. Here is an example...

  When you configure the Netgear I recommend that you connect to it with an Ethernet cable if you screw up the wireless and the DHCP part you can find and recover.

• "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

  Thanx Terry

  Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  The router configuration

  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 cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of 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. 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.

  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). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. 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 you created to join the network and start surfing.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  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 with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, 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. 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. create the counterpart of the user accounts and 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. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

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

  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.

• Connecting two routers WRT54G2 to extend the signal

  I have available two routers wireless broadband Linksys G (WRT54G2), given to me by a family member. We use one of the routers by itself for some time, but have no adequate signal throughout our House. I decided it would be easier to design the floor plan of the House for you to see his situation compared with the rest of the House on the walls that do not. We have the HughesNet satellite internet which is on the roof just about the location of the modem and router at the bottom right of the image.

  What do you think would be the best location of the main router? I read it would be more centrally located, because the signal travels horizontally and vertically. I just bought a 100' Ethernet cable being the only one that we had what the HughesNet Installer provided us with which is about 4'. I initially thought I would be the cable from main router to the basement where the second router is placed since the signal there is about 1 in 3 bars on my iPhone. The signal on the floor in the ranges of the main room (room at the top in the middle of the image) of 3-5 off 5 bars on my laptop.

  I wanted to just put a post sooner rather than later to see what your views were on the location of the main router and I have to increase the signal.

  Let me know if you have any questions to a better response.

  I have updated the firmware on the main router.

  

  If you want to configure the router as an access point 2 then the connection will be LAN to LAN which means the LAN port of the router port main o the 2nd router's LAN... But before you connect to the main router.

  You should first connect the 2nd router to your laptop, go to the configuration page. Configure wireless settings it is firstly, ethier you set up another name and password is all up to you. Then change the IP address to a number of 192.168.1.x(any fera l'affaire) and disable DHCP... then after that connect to the main router.
