• How to share an internet connection broadband on the Satellite A200-1VG

  Hello
  I am very new in the world of laptops, 3 days old. In fact, I have a desktop computer (the OS is XP Professional) and just bought my self a Satellite A200-1VG (the OS is Vista).
  In my view, is it possible for 2 machines to share a connection high speed, but how I do not know. I must admit to be pretty ignorant when it comes to technology (you have probably gathered that now) and I ask that any given notice will be given in the language too technical.
  Thanks in advance for a novice.

  Hello

  Of course, you can share the internet connection with 2 computers.
  If you have a WLan router, you can connect a computer to the LAN port and the laptop can be connected via Wireless LAN.

  You can also connect two computers to the LAN port. Some routers support two (or more) of LAN ports and assign TCP/IP addresses automatically.
  If your router supports one LAN port you could buy a Hub (or switch) for more LAN ports and connect multiple computers.

  Lastly but not least you can connect to the laptop of desktop PC, but the PC needs to be equipped with min 2 LAN cards.

  I would recommend a little goggling for more details. I m you will find some useful articles.

  Good bye

• How do I share my internet connection?

  I have two laptops that I use to connect to wireless internet. The problem is that I can't get two laptops to connect to the internet simultaneously. My sister and I must take turns to use the internet, even if we use a wireless router. The main reason we got a wireless router has been to share our internet connection!

  I have:
  Virgin Media (or Telewest broadband) modem
  Belkin router wireless
  Two laptop computers (which can connect to the internet - but not at the same time)

  Hello

  If you have the wireless router, I see no problem here. Set your PPPoE connection router (the router supports a dynamic connection type). If wireless option can each laptop connected with or without the password (I don't know if you have one).

  If the WIFI network on the router is set on, if please scan the area and choose View available wireless networks. I'm sure that the same wireless network will be available on two laptops. You just need good settings.

• share my internet connection with another computer using a router

  My question is if I give you my wep key to another computer in my house so that it can access the internet will be my files or no matter what content of my computer stays private, I need to share my internet connection without sharing something else?. Thanks JF

  In general, it is safe to do so - just a person granting access to your network will not give them access to your files on your computer unless you are already sharing files with another computer on your network.  In this case, you want to check your sharing settings to make sure that the shared files are not available for all users of the network.  The thing I'd be worried, is whether or not the person you share with is "don't own"-no virus, malware, etc. on their computer, given that some of these programs can spread via a shared network connection.

  4. replace the router

• 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

• Security to share an internet connection by power line

  I changed my wireless router to wired home network via the electric lines of the House. How secure is it? The network administrator sees my internet traffic?

  The reason why I ask this is that my Bank Web site would not show me my statement. When I called the Bank, they reported that there was no problem.

  I can't find information on the safety of the power line networking on the internet.

  Any guidance or help would be appreciated.

  you use an Extender ethernet via the sockets in your home?

  This threshold has to go through a router, it is "too safe" because it is the same network. Power line offers no extra or any security less security, just another method to connect to the same router.
