• get internet connection through another computer...

  Hello

  I would go straight to the point :)

  I have a desktop running windows vista. I have a normal internet connection through a router that connects to the internet on this desktop computer.

  now, I also have a laptop with windows xp and here is what I do. my laptop's wireless was always bothers me, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't work out... so I saw that there is an Ethernet card installed in the laptop with an Ethernet port.

  My question is this:

  I have a lot of Ethernet cables at home and I was wondering if there is a way to get internet to my laptop via the Ethernet port on my desktop, but without needing the desktop computer to be running, cause I only use my laptop these days and my router is too far to connect from my room. I hope you understand my problem. In theory, I think it's possible to do, but I'm not sure how, so please help me on this one. my laptop also has firewire, but I prefer ethernet for some reason any.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot get a connection via another computer if the computer is off.

  I'm not sure that I understand completely the topology.  However, if the office is connected by cable to a router for Internet connection, you can solve the problem by buying a simple network switch.

  You take the cable from the desktop and connect to the switch. Then you plug the desktop and laptop computer at the switch.

  That this switch network does, it divides a cable to feed many computers.

  Example of a switch that can be connected with a cable to a router and feed 5 computers.

• Cannot get online after installing windows XP Edition family on my laptop which was origally XP PRO

  I have a laptop HP Compaq 6830 s that had xp professional did not get a disc of bone with it when buying. The system crashed 0x0000007B error code. I installed OS XP Home version Pro Version and now I't does not recognize my modem or ethernet. Cannot get online. I'll tho the HP site and they don't have that driver for XP Pro Downloads Home Version. I go to the Device Manager and have question marks on the following - ethernet controller (PCI bus 134, device 0, function 0), network controller (bus PCI 3, device 0, function 0), PCI Device (device function 27 of the PCI bus 0 0), Universal serial bus (PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7) (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller (bus PCI 0) (, 26, function 7 device), unknown device (on PCI bus) properties, the properties of the unknown device (on system compatible ACPI Microsoft) and the properties of video controller (VGA Compatible) (bus PCI 1, device 0, function 0) all the points mark have (Code 28). Is there any wat I can fix this or should I install OS XP PRO?

  Go here--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  Enter the model of your computer.  If you just enter 'Compaq 6830 s' you get 3 choices.

  For example, I clicked on the link below and select the link for "XP Professional" coming to this page--> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3688717&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3688712&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

  You're right; There are a large number of items on this page.  You may be able to refine things if you enter your full product number, but if not, here are some general indications:

  "" For each of the downloads, click each tab on the download page and read the information on 'Description' improvements,' 'Instructions of Installation","System requirements"," Release Notes, "and"Revision history" before you install the downloaded driver.

  • Start by "Driver - Chipset" and use "9.1.0.1007 a (January 16, 2009).»
  • Then go to "driver - storage.»  Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver.  Optional, but probably very desirable, install the new version of HP 3D DriveGuard.  You probably don't need (at least for now), the driver of chip card reader (unless you have an external drive of smart card).
  • Then go to "- Audio driver." Install the driver Microsoft UAA and the most recent drivers SoundMax ADI.
  • Then go to 'Pilot - graphics.' Install the new ATI video driver.
  • Then go to "driver - network."  It's a little more complicated.  Install the Marvel Yukon Gigabit Ethernet controller driver.  This will allow you to connect to your cable or DSL or your router by Ethernet cable.  You must determine if your particular laptop has an Intel or Broadcom wireless adapter.  Looking in the Device Manager in the "Network adapter" section, you should be able to make this identification.  Install the driver for the appropriate device.  If you believe that your laptop is Bluetooth compatible, install this driver as well.  The HP "wireless Wizard" is optional.  I would delay installing this at this stage.
  • Then go to "Driver - keyboard, mouse and input devices."  Install the Synaptics Touchpad driver and one for the HP Quick Launch buttons.

  At this point, most of your hardware should work correctly.  If there is always warning icons in Device Manager, you should be able to understand... or ask again here.  Read the 'Description' for other downloads to see if this is something you want or need.  Be aware, however, that many "Software" downloads are only updates or patches and not the complete package (which probably would have been preinstalled on a new computer.

• Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

  A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

  MurrayJoe:

  > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

  You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

  If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

  If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

  Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

  There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

  If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

  DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

  Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

  You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

  But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

• Windows 7 - error message from the address conflict IP appears periodically. Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer.

  Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact you network administrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows system event log"

  Does anyone have a simple way (for a dummy) to solve this. If I disconnect my wireless router and laptop and turn the two again this sorts the problem temporarily, but it does not provide a definitive solution.  I use a new laptop and my old one has been scrapped, so I do not know whence this 'conflict '.  My old laptop had Windows XP operating system and my new Windows 7.  I hope that someone can provide a solution to this annoying problem.

• Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

  Original title: IP address

  Hi John,.

  Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.

  Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool

  However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.

  Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.

  How can I get Firefox looking for my computer for the plugins that are already there?

  Adobe Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, active Firefox IE that made me concerned that would cause problems that our just leave me where I am now, instance where IE can use a bottle but Firefox cannot.

  Internet Explorer uses a version of the Flash player ActiveX plugin as it does not work with other browsers.

• I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

  I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

  I put in place already to extend the wifi of my modem still connected to the modem via ethernet cable.

  Now I want to be considered on the floor and use it to extend the wifi without ethernet cable

  The AirPort Extreme can extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple, so if you want to take the AirPort Extreme on the floor and extend wireless signal, you will need another airport connected to your modem by Ethernet cable router to produce the wireless signal that will extend the extreme on the floor.

  Another way of saying the same thing would be to say that if you want to extend wireless using a router from Apple, you'll need two of them do... because AirPort Extreme is not compatible with a third-party modem or modem/router for this purpose.

• Hi there is a box keeps coming up saying that another computer has the same IP as mine? What does that mean. ??

  A box is constantly on my computer screen saying that another computer has the same IP as mine and I need to contact windows for help.  What this means please.

  Thank you Michelle.

  The error means exactly what it says: there is another PC on your LAN that has the same IP as the PC you are using.  If you're in a work environment, speak to your personal network.
