Sorry, it was waaay past my bed time when I replied :o

You definitely need a crossover cable. It looks just like the other cable, but the wires in the connectors are switched.
Just go to your local Best buy or whatever and tell them you need
a CAT5 crossover cable.

You will also need to "share ...

VonJames

Assuming you're using a crossover cable between the pc's... A regular cat5 cable will not do.

You also need to enable file/print sharing in the network properties of each pc. Not knowing what operating system you're using, you should be able to access the network settings in the control panel.
You ...

VonJames

In case you hadn't already done it, be sure to change your password to gain access to your router from the default password.

VonJames

I'm no network guru or anything, but that just doesn't make sense to me ...
But, I would be interested to know the technical answer.

Good to hear you got it going though.

VonJames

Hmm...
Since you've tried all cable combinations without success, could be the hub is bad.

Though, I'd wait to hear another opinion from the experts here.

VonJames

I believe your problem is, that you need to plug the cable from the router into the "uplink" port on the hub.

Look for a port marked, uplink, If you don't have an uplink port, then you'll need a crossover cable.

I have the same setup with an NG rt314 and a Linksys 4port switch and works fine.

Here's a handy dandy little program you can download for free.
Its called UO Trace.
It was designed to check out game servers, but you can use it for general use too.
I've used the original copy for several years now, and it's really small too. Plus it does more than just tracert's, it has other ...

VonJames

I'm not doing too bad since the switch. However, my upload is now capped. I used to get 128 kiloBytes up, now it's like 40 something.

Another thing, is the constant activity on the WAN side. I mean when code red was out several months ago, it eventually kinda died off where there wasn't that high ...

I don't have XP myself, but I seem to remember reading a message somewhere, that said Netbeui IS on the XP disk and you have to install it manually, mainly because microsoft is moving away from it and offers no more support for it.

That is all I know. Good luck in finding it.

VonJames

Just got back from the game.... we won... hehe

Anyway, sounds like you have it going.
If you can't access the web page, open IE, in the security settings, enter the address of your router as a "trusted site", then it should let you in.

VonJames

You need to get into the "admin" web page of your router by typing 192.168.0.1
If you haven't changed the password, I strongly reccomend you do !

Choose the wizard setup and add in the @home name they gave you ( ci93483-d or whatever it is ).
You may need to call @home to get the full name of your ...

VonJames

I originally bought a Linksys, but took it right back after reading all of the issues I've read about on this site back then.
I didn't even fire it up, went in the store and came back out with the netgear and never looked back.

Sounds like over the past few months, they've worked out some of the ...

VonJames

Ok, I figured it out, using IE 5.5.
I had to go into my internet options of IE, open up security, then add the webpage address " 192.168.0.1 " as a trusted site.

All is good and peacefull again......

VonJames

MosDef,
I also remember someone saying that if you're having touble accessing the webpage, try using IE 5.5.
Funny, I can't get into in now, even with IE 5.5. I get the message that it is a protected item. Heh...

I tried Netscape and it works, but seems limited. I cannot access the "advanced ...

VonJames

Just to add to MosDef's post... The Netgear also has a "web page" interface for setting it up. Also, with the latest firmware, they've added more setup options to it as well, such as forwarding a whole range of ports.

But for the advanced things, like setting up port filters, etc... you would use a ...

VonJames

I was confused about that "10.x.x.x" scheme myself once, and was told that that was the internal IP address of my cable modem.
Someone on this site told me that, and I also asked an @home support tech who also confirmed the same thing.

Mine will also take a long time to reply on that hop, but the ...

VonJames

In my opinion, a router would be a much simpler/better solution, and easily expandable.

You could also do it if you have win98se, using ICS that comes with it, or download a program called Sygate (also sygate isn't free).

VonJames

If what you're mainly seeing is hits on HTTP on various tcp ports from various addresses..... The majority is likely to CODERED, still running rampant out there, looking for microsoft IIS servers to infect.

If you're not running IIS server, then there's not much to worry about, it's just an ...

VonJames

I took a look at your other thread, and Lobo is on top of things there. He has more experience than I with the modem tweaking, and right on the money about the cap.

Personally, I don't see where the digital service would have anything to do with your internet speed, I think it's all cap related.
I ...

VonJames

Before we get started here, you need to find out some information.
Hook up your main pc to your cable modem the way it originally was before getting a router. Set your TCP/IP setting to dhcp, etc..., and reboot.
Once in windows, open a dosprompt window, and type : ipconfig /all
You should see your ...

VonJames

The DNS entry for your pc's, is probably something simple like:
roadrunner.com
The "host" name would be whatever you named your pc, like "bob" or something.

Perhaps someone more familiar with the Linksys & roadrunner service could chime in with more concrete data, because I have no idea what the ...

VonJames

Heh, you responded while I was editing :)

You should have a web page interface with your router, for administering and changing router settings, etc....

I would advise to go over your manual that came with your router for a good clear picture.

Your router may have a different lan gateway address ...

VonJames

As far as applying IP addresses to your computers, that is probably the best setup, BUT, you also have to go into your routers admin page, and turn off DHCP on the LAN side.

If you didn't turn off dhcp on the lan side, then you won't be able to connect.

Leave it enabled on the WAN side though ...

VonJames

Well shoot, I didn't notice you had a Dell.

I do take it that you used their bios upgrade file.
Can't offer much help there.

As far as the bios protection, as far as I know, is mainly so virus's like CIH, which can kill bios, can't over write it.
Whether it really works, I don't know, and I don't ...

Hello elbob.

If you can't get a successful flash, one other thing you may try, kinda longshot, call around the mom & pop shops in your area and ask if they have an EEPROM burner. If you're lucky, you might get them to flash it for you for around $20.

One other thing, does your bios by chance or ...

VonJames

I think ONE of you should have to edit the command line in your desktop shortcut.

Right click on the halflife shortcut, choose properties, then in the command line section (the top one), you'll see the path to the "hl.exe".
At the end of that line, hit your spacebar and type this in:
-port 27016 ...

I had a similar situation, in that the channels on my tv at one end of the spectrum would be clear, and the other would be slightly fuzzy, my cable modem would lose sync off an on.

The problem was that, since I live in a condo, everyones wiring goes to one big box. Apparently someone from the cable ...

VonJames

Cedclark,
That's very hard to answer. So many varibles, like company, location, experience, etc...

Just a wild guess here, if you were to live in the midwest area, I'd say for just pc repair work, and working for some medium sized to a large company, you might see mid $30's and less.

If involves ...

Jon,
Although the picture doesn't come up for me (i have a lot blocked with the HOSTS file), the title is the same.
Looks to be about the price I paid too.

Very good book indeed!

Stateful Packet Inspection

VonJames

I've had my Zonealarm not let me in before, so I had to turn it off to get in.

But I've also had it where nothing worked except what BlueJetta has suggested. That was my only out on a couple of occasions.
(sometimes I just like to play around too much

)

VonJames

I really depends on what game you're playing. I mean some games are designed to run one better than the other.

For the heck of it, I switched from opengl to direct 3d playing TFC, and d3d ran like dog poo. Didn't look bad, but didn't run worth a nickel, major lag.

If playing UT, direct 3d runs a ...

VonJames

Hey Rat! Are you here cheating on PCA ??? ;) hehe

Anyway, I'm not 100%, but I don't think you would have to leave your server running.

BTW, are you running a game server ? If you are, then I would reconsider your router choice. Not sure about the dlink, but there have been many who have had ...

It's mainly focused on understanding & repairing the pc. Mostly covering all the hardware. But it also goes into OS's like DOS, win 3.1, and win 95/98 troubleshooting.

Just total pc understanding, like how the processor works, buses, etc.. . It's generally considered the "groundlevel" certification ...

VonJames

No, you don't need the @home software. All you need from @home is the unique name for your identity. (ci36890-a) <-- for instance.

The software's roots go deep in the registry, and unistalling doesn't seem to really clear it all out, so most people just format to totally get rid of it.

I agree with Prey, don't waste your money on a class.

Get the book "A+ Certification" by Michael Meyers, it's all you will need.

CoolJ,
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure if there are any skins & models just yet, but they are sure to follow.
