Home Computer Desk

Posts Tagged ‘network’

I have 2 computers at home one laptop and one desk top. On the desktop I have no problem connecting to the laptop, but I can get no where when I try go from my laptop to the desktop. I have tried going into the network/sharing center and turned everything off and then back on and still am having no luck. Can anyone help me.

I tried setting up a Home network, Desk and Lap computers. I have got everything mixed up with the Names, Security and Etc. How do I clear everything I’ve done and start over?

I currently have a wireless network set up through one PC which spreads out to one more PC and a laptop. I have AT&T wireless DSL, I think it is what it’s called for the network and the router is a 2Wire. My problem is that I have a the main computer set up in my bedroom which also doubles as my home office, and I want to move some furniture around to accommodate a much easier set up and more room, but the wall that my TV is on (which is where I want to move my computer) doesn’t have a phone jack, and the wall that my computer is on (which is where I want to move my TV) doesn’t have a hole for the satelite wire to come through. I should also mention that I have Dish Network, in which I have two TVs working off one digital DVR box which is in the living room. I know that new lines can be dropped or have these lines moved, but I don’t want to do that if I don’t have to. Is there anyway that I can have my network going without plugging it into a computer? The router is plugged into a double phone jack that came with it, in which my house phone is also plugged into it. I hope this all makes sense, and it might be a stupid question, but I’d really like to know if there is any other way of doing this? Thanks in advance!
I tried what you did and once I unplugged it physically from the computer, the ETHERNET light went off on the front of the router and I lost my connection until I plugged it back in. Any ideas?

What would be the best type of WIFI that affordable?

I have Yahoo DSL. It was easy to set up a year or so ago when I got it. I even set up a network in the house so my laptop could print to the printer attached to the other desk top computer. But suddenly, a few months ago, I couldn’t do that any more — I would get an error message.

The laptop’s diagnostics told me that either (1) a cable was unplugged (but this is a wireless network, so there are no cables) or (2) my router — you know, the box that came with the DSL set-up — wasn’t connected or wasn’t working properly. But it’s turned on, all the lights are on, and both the laptop and the other computer can access the internet wirelessly.

So, what’s my problem?
