network

I have the following setup: Two computers running XP with SP3. Computer1 has a wireless Linksys USB adapter and connects to the router. This works fine. Computer2 has a regular network adapter card (not wireless). Now I would like to connect computer2 to computer1 with a regular network...

I noticed a few Mac folk around here -- I use Macs sometimes, but I'm more of a Linux guy. I want to repurpose a Mac Mini I'm not currently using to share files between four other computers on a home network. I've been using Dropbox to sync files up until now, but I'm not thrilled with that...

We've been having some rather strange network problems where I work. Its a small IT company (about a dozen users). We've got one main file server and authentication server. For some reason, when one particular user copies files to the file server, it brings down the entire network. (Seems to...

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else experiencing this little glitch? My "Network and Sharing Center", under Windows Vista has an "X" icon between my house icon (which represents the local network), and the globe (representing the Internet). The globe icon, itself, is faded gray. My network...

Democrats now actively support net (internet, network) neutrality. Will net neutrality be constricted? Other recent reports? Ensuring freedom and the internet? As a few other posts briefly mentioned, Big business (telecommunication companies) are trying to change how the internet works. As...

All right, I'm trying to coordinate installation of a new network-based building lighting controller at my work site. The components are 2 Windows XP computers, 1 in the control room and one in the security office about 200 yards away, and the controller itself which will also be located in the...

So I'd like to connect two PCs. The first one is wired via Ethernet to a wireless router/modem (this means that I'm not currently using the wireless capabilities of the router). It's a 802.11b/g device with 54MBps speed. The second one has an Ethernet adapter. There's also another spare wireless...

I play various multiplayer games with my family on our home wireless network. I normally act as the server, as I have the fastest PC. There is also a wired connection (crossover cable) between my PC and one of the others. Is it possible to force games played on that PC to connect through that...

I was listening to October 13 episode of On The Media when Faker... and Harder (sound file, transcript not yet available) caught my attention. There was some back and forth about whether or not the study was true, but the gist was that The Daily Show contained just as much substantive...

Just a quickie I hope - I am tryign to set up a network, buying a new PC and having my current PC/laptop available wirelessly. If I get a wireless router/modem, I assume this is plugged into the phone line at the wall, but does any "wiring" then need to go from the router to one of the PCs? Do...

So I got an XBOX 360 recently, and wanted to hook it up online, not just for play, but also for any other things that may be available. I have a DSL connection and had bought a Lynksys ethernet router for just this purpose. So I attach the DSL modem to the router input, then plug in the...

I am due to have my home rewired. Now somebody suggested that this would be ideal time to install a wired computer network. What would I need to purchase/have this wired system; and are there any advantages over having a wire free system?

As I write, I am watching the National Geographic Network's program on crop circles. What a breath of fresh air! Not only is it a skeptical presentation, but it is showing circle-makers--many different groups of them, with different motivations, styles, etc.--who have created circles which...

You guys were so helpful to me with my Adobe problem (very fixed, works great) I thought I'd pose yet another question. I have a home network with broadband. I have the serving computer in my home office and each of my kids have their own computer, networked through mine, in their rooms. The...

Penta Water (you recall, it has amazing abilities to be absorbed faster by the human body than ordinary water) was displayed on a Food Network program ... http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_cw/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9955_32673,00.html ... Unwrapped, hosted by Marc Summers. Of course, no...

Ok, it was Stuart Scott on ESPN when he was doing the highlights of the Washington - Green Bay game... I just wanted the thread title.

Okay, without getting into too much detail, the company I work for has 4 branch offices that have old Novell 4.x boxes that we want to get rid of. Everyone is on XP Pro, but they're still using the Novell box for network storage. Each user has a home drive storage area on it and there is also...

http://www.nranews.com/nra.html Its new. Its streaming video. Browse the archives for some excellent stories (truth) on the Australian and U.K. gun bans, told by the Brits and Aussies themselves.

I have 2 p.c's both with win95. They have network cards, and i can get a network cable. However, i know nothing about networking. Can anyone help? What else do i need software/hardware wise. P.S The p.c's aren't and don't need to be connected to the internet. P.P.S It would be nice if the...

All of a sudden I can't browse my LAN from any of the computers on it. Three XP-home and one WIN 2K machines, none of 'em can browse. Network disk drives that were previously mapped still work fine, we can use the other computers' printers and access files on shares that were already set up...

I mean its got to be the British. Its fragmented, run by tin pot companies who don't invest. At rush hour its like a cattle market. Otherwise its untimely, uncomfortable and slow. You try going anywhere in a decent amount of time, even assuming the unlikely event that the trains run on...

I was considering putting these questions on sci.math but I thought I'd try here first: I am aware of Euler's formula V+R-L=1 which applies to any network, but not much else. Consider that each connection in a network has a finite bandwidth (like say a water pipe network, or a road traffic...
