Heey answer my question!


http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...




Sounds like you were receiving a signal from an un-secured port. No login or password required. Now they have secured the port. Hope this explains it.

Is it possible to locate a PC (within a local network) based on MAC address?

Suppose there's a wi-fi router placed centrally in a park. Anyone can come to the park with their wi-fi enabled devices and use the connection. Everyone in the park will be given Class C IP address. Now, in the admin module of the wi-fi the administrator is able to see, the machine name, the MAC address and the assigned IP address to all the connected devices. Is it possible for the admin to physically locate a particular machine, say, someone who's misusing the connection, and thrash him/her? I know its possible to disconnect/ban him if need be, but can he be really 'located'?



It depends on how hard the administrator wants to work and how many people on connected at the time.


The chances of getting caught the first time will be pretty slim. But by the 5th time, process of elimination will most likely get you ID'd


After that, banning the machine by using the MAC ID is trivial.

DOES WI-FI WORK ON AIRPLANES?

im going to america its like 11 hr flight do they have WI-FI for my laptop



I doubt it, you'll probably have to do something else, besides internet on your LapTop. Sorry.





WiFi is a short range signal (HotSpot or Wireless Access), you must be within range of Someones Router or Network. In rare cases someone might use a Cantenna to shoot out a HotZone.





The staff on the AirPlane may or may not allow you to use Wireless Devices, whether it be (Service Providers or WiFi). But, at the Airport you certainly could. Even if your allowed, I doubt that there would be WiFi Access in the Plane, as for Service Providers, the answer would be Yes, that's again only if your allowed to. Although being above clouds you probably would have a harder time getting service.





I've never been on a plane, but its just a thought.




Nope. No airplanes currently have wi-fi service though some airlines are thinking about offering it. It's also not allowed to turn on your computer's wi-fi while the plane is in flight (although if you did do it, your computer would not pick up anything except possible other computer users who also shouldn't be using their wi-fi).




WiFI has to be turned off whilst in flight, because it interferes with the Instruments.





there is no internet coverage on a aeroplane. Wifi is a short range signal. there is no Wifi on or in a plane.




If you have a certain provider yes. But you are not allowed to use anything that sends or receives a signal so it doesn't matter anyways.




No. Airlines do not provide Internet service. You'll have to wait until you're in the airport. And they charge you for it!




Your wifi should be turned off on a plane!!!





the plane can crash if people turn on wifi you can goto prison if caught!!!





unless you have permission!!!




doubtful

What does this mean when I try to diagnose the problem?

Today my computer is going crazy. The internet connection is going off and on randomly and I've been trying to reset the local area connection adapter to fix the problem but nothing works. It says that I'm connected to 'Local only' and I have no idea what to do. Anyway, to get to the point, when I tried diagnosing the problem, this pop-up appeared: http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp303...





The webpage that I was led to is this one: http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.a...





What do I do? Please answer. >_<



reset your modem




That Microsoft Web page is useless. The pop-up isn't much better. You do already have an ISP, don't you?





Have you tried calling its tech support line? You may have a modem that's going bad, or a problem with the ISP's connection.





Good luck.

How do you delete an ad hoc network?

I connected to an ad hoc network about a month ago in an airport when trying to connect to my FaceBook. It didn't work but I noticed that afterwards I could still see the network in my "Connect to a Network" thing. How do I remove the notification of the ad hoc network.





I run Windows Vista on a laptop.



If you created the ad hoc connection it will still be there in case you want to connect to it again. If you connected to it, it shouldn't still display but it may just be that it's a stored connection. In any case go to "manage wireless networks" in the network and sharing center and just delete it. It should stop showing then.

What is IP address......?

Is it the password to your wireless internet or something else??...



Think of an IP address as your computer's civic address on the Internet. An IP address can be broken up into a "network address" and a "host address", or to follow the analogy, your computer's "street" and "street number". When you send information on the Internet, your computer addresses it to the IP address of the destination computer, and includes your source IP address for a sort of "return to sender" mechanic. It's very, very much like your local postal service for normal mail.




IP address is a way to correctly identify certain PC's over the internet network. Every PC has to have a unique IP address. It is done in Binary form, then transmitted into Decimal.




An IP address is the numerical network address all computers need to talk to each other, a bit like a phone number/extension for telephones.




ip addy is the number assigned to your computer so it can be recognized


on the network or the internet





each are unique to every pc

I have a macbook and every time i close the screen I have to redo all of the network settings everytime?

Which one is the most used linux distribution for web hosting and network administration?

Depends on what kind of web hosting. If a large commercial enterprise, stick with the mainstream, commercially supported versions.


For home use, I use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, as it is supported with patches for 3 years.


This site has many howtos, to set up almost any Linux as a server. I used the Ubuntu version (linked):


http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server...





For network (web server) admin, I use ISPConfig


http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server...




I've seen CentOS (which is a clone of Red Hat) used a lot.





Most of the companies I consult for use RHEL or a derivative of RHEL, then again most companies hire me because of my RHEL/CentOS background so the results are biased.




I'd like to suggest FreeBSD (google it)





Yahoo uses it and hotmail used it before it was purchased by microsoft.





(note: this is not a linux distro, but I highly recommend it.)

What is the best ISP.?

I want to know what the best ISP is for someone who is an average user and the money is a little bit tight. Comcast is too expensive. Is AT&T any good?



AT&T is good. The bottom of the line broadband is only $20 a month and is upto 768/384 speeds. Unless you are doing massive amounts of downloading or into watching streaming videos 768 down is just fine.





I've been with PacBell-SBC-ATT continously since 1995.




the best provider is relative to your area and to your needs. If you have phone service and cable TV, see if your providers offer a bundle, where you can get a discount for phone, internet and cable TV. If your needs can be met with dial up then your cost would be lower.

So i can hear people on my vetn, but when i try to click my push to talk it wont even make the sound and my little icon wont light up...and i dont know much about vent...Helps!



Ensure your push-to-talk hotkey is set correctly.





Click "setup" then make sure the "use push-to-talk hotkey" box is checked and then below that you should see a field for "hotkey". Click in that box and push the key you would like to use as your hotkey. Then click OK and try it.

Does virtualization threaten CISCO

As virtual networks become more and more common, does a server centric network become obsolete?



IMO, I don't think so. The more and more you virtualize, you're really going to need a more robust and powerful switch with a powerful core running it. I believe though that you will see Cisco beef up their virtual switching products. I think it will begin to help them as well. Also, with their recent announcement of beginning to make unified computing platforms, which is a fancy way of saying "servers designed and built for virtualization", I believe you'll be able to get better hardware from them than you can Dell, and HP for virtualization. IMO I believe they'll begin to sweep up the competition for virtualization, except for IBM

Majorly confuzzled: Wireless routers and ADSL modems.?

Ok so I currently have an ADSL wired connection at home with a modem.





Im getting a wireless networking adapter for the xbox 360 for my birthday and i was wondering:





Can you connect a wireless ROUTER to an ADSL modem, and then have wireless connectivity with your computer and other devices?



Piece of Piroshki.





You have DSL -- Modem -- Computer.





You want DSL -- Modem -- Wireless Router -- Computer.





Simple matter of buying the router and connecting between the computer and modem. Computer is reset, if needed, for DHCP. Modem is configured for your ISP, if you have a username/password log-on you put that into the router.





Turn on the WiFI, turn on security for the WiFi, give your xbox your 10-digit WiFi key and you're in.




In simple terms, the internet comes into your modem then either:


-directly to your computer


-or to a router/hub





Most routers today are capable of wireless, and can connect many devices. If your router is close enough [to your 360], then you can just use ethernet.

Net install Ubuntu from XP commandline?

I'm in Windows XP commandline (terminal) and I'm the administrator. The computer is connected to internet.





How do I issue just a handful of commands (must all in commandline. No clicking here and there business) to start download all necessary files and start installing Ubuntu with the intent to have Ubuntu take over the PC from here on?





Thanks.



You need some external media, like a bootable USB stick or CD. Otherwise, as it starts to install, it has to blow away the hard drive to make Linux partitions, and you would lose your install files. The install would fail at that point.


A Live CD is the easiest way to do it.

How to make my Wireless Router Go Farther?

I have a comcast netgear wireless router. I need the network to reach farther across my house. What can I do? I do not want to get a new router.



Well you can get a range booster antenna or just sell yours and buy a wireless N router. Both can be found for cheap at this site:





http://discountwirelessrouter.com/




I%26#039;m not 100% but I%26#039;m quite sure you can%26#039;t extend it because when you buy it there is a certain range it can reach. Mine covers the house, Garden and some of my neighbors house because I got a medium ranged one. I would try selling it then buying a better one.

What can I do to speed up my computer online?

I don't like pop-ups.



There are a couple ways to improve online performance of computer. I can list the ones i know. Firefox is a no hassle browser with very little vulnerabilities. It doesn't allow pop ups unless you allow them and is more secure that IE. It has the same flavor as IE as well. As for getting pages to open faster ether faster net will be needed for you can get your computer to run faster. For example if you have a slow computer the net will naturally be slow since it is the computer that loads the pages. it wont matter if you have the fastest internet on earth if you using an old computer. so general cleaning and maintenance, even and upgrade can improve internet and computers overall performance.

This is networking section bro, but ill try to help





Have you tried safe mode? keep tressing F8 when your pc is booting. Get into your account and either uninstall comodo or roll back your pc to a previous day or week.





if not, get xp boot cd off somewhere (you know what I mean), go to repair and type FIXMBR, CHKDSK /p, and FIXBOOT (after each finishes).

I pick up this unsecured wireless connection (public network) what does that mean?

These 'hotspots' may or may not be intended for public use, but as they are open, anyone can use them.


They can also be 'honeypots' where intentional low security settings lure parties into connecting; then attempt airwave capture methods to collect data streams. The ultimate goal may be sinister in nature.


'Hotspots'


can be trouble if you don't use extra precautions.


Because 'open' networks have no encryption between your unit and the router, everything you send or receive is in plain text. Meaning that a hacker, with a commonly available application, can intercept and log all of your traffic 'packets'; and with commonly available software, can run "brute force" programs that crack passwords.


So the best advice is: do not visit sites that are private, or require 'log-in', or credit cards, banks, etc.


The only secure method to use, over a 'hotspot' is a VPN, or SSL website.





Constrain your lappers random interface with these so you can make a logical choice about connections, securtiy, and so on:


Laptop settings:


If you're using Windows to configure your Wifi, go to Control Panel> Wireless Network Connections> Wireless Networks tab; here you'll need to identify all wifi networks your system 'sees', then for your own (or preferred) network, highlight it, then 'move up' to the top of the list: then, go to 'Advanced' button, tick 'access points only' and uncheck 'Automatically connect to non-preferred networks'>close> OK




Don't use these. In my experience they never really work, and they could be someone who set up a fake access point to steal your passwords and such.





If you do want to try anyway, first install a proxy server to protect your computer, for example for Windows, there is a free program called Hotspot Shield.




Just be aware that anyone can use this connection - it is not


password protected and your transmissions can be received


by others . If you can use a secure connection you are safer


from receiving unwanted viruses or trojans.




it means theres a connection around you with no password!


i recommend you take advantage of this! lol


and connect to it

What is difference between data communication and networking?

1 answer might be...





Data communication is the transfer of data between one computer system and another. Networking would be the method for getting that information transferred between the two systems.

Watching data over a ethernet connection?

hey i was wondering could you like connect you computer between say the computer you are watching and the internet or the connection to it's isp. i have heard of stuff like this but how would you actually do that and even if you could how would you be able to read the information transferred over the network????????



You can use a protocol analyzer, or "packet sniffer". Wireshark is a great one and its free. You will have to have a little knowledge about protocols and tcp/ip to make good sense of it, but you could probably learn quite a bit by just getting it and experimenting also.





The thing is, it will only capture packets that are broadcasted, and most switches and routers these days prevent all packets from being broadcasted.





You will have to either spoof your mac address to the one you are spying on, or arp flood the switch you are both plugged into. .. In order for you to sniff all thier packets.





..unless you are on wireless, then its easier. you just put your wi-fi adapter into monitor mode and you collect everything thats flying through the air... but thats another story.

Cant connect to nintendo wi-fi connection Help!?

Okay here is all the details





1. I installed the software on to pc which is connected wirelessly to the internet.


2. On the ds I went to the connection setup thing and hit connect to Nintendo usb wi-fi connector then I put the connector in the usb port and tried to connect


3. It said to grant access to my pc so I did.


4. It told me it is going to test it and I hit OK


5. It began to connect with a full signal bar and then stopped and said Error code: 52003 Unable to obtain IP adress. Confirm that the Nintendo WI-FI USB Connector is functioning properly. For help, visit support.nintendo.com





But the WI fi connector is working because it began to connect and stopped working and there is a flashing green light on the connector so please help and ask if you need more details and I'll add additional details and then edit your answer





Thank you and Bye

My downstairs tenant is using my wireless connection (he knows my ssid and password), can he hack my network?

My downstairs tenant knows my ssid (wireless network name) and password, is there any way he can somehow get into my network and see what i'm doing? if so, how tecy savvy does one need to be to do this? and how would he go about this? If it's possible, i'm just going to tell him that my internet connection is slow, due to too much bandwith being used and i'll just change my wireless name and password. PLEASE HELP?





unfortunately, my brother gave it to him because he needs the internet





if i change it hes gona be like why did you change it i need it ...besides hes gona say hes paying and blah blah



It is possible for him to load spyware and keyloggers on your computers, but he would have to know how and your machines would have to be vulnerable.





Since you apparently know how to change the SSID and encryption key, I'll suggest you also do the following:





1. Stop the SSID broadcast. Just changing its name isn't enough: He's likely to try the new name.


2. Make sure Wireless Router Administration is turned OFF. This won't affect wireless Internet in the least, but it can keep your router from being hijacked out from under you.





And if he says he's paying, ask him where in the lease it says he can use your network?


Hope that helps.




Well, first of all.. if hes pretty tec savvy, he could sniff your wireless traffic whether he was on your wireless access point or not..using a sniffer.





and if he is connected to your access, he could potentially see and take what you have in your "shared folders".





you could change your accesss point password. which would prevent hi from accessing the files on your pc




Yes, he can possibly see the data you send and receiver from your computer.





How can he do this? With something called a "sniffer" tool. If he is smart enough to do it (most people are not), then he could download some software and compile the data to see what you are doing.




Well if he's paying what's the problem? he will only be able to watch your porn if you agree to file sharing.




If he is able to get into your network connection, then yes, there are freely available tools (one called Cain and Abel at www.oxid.it) that can be used to sniff passwords that you enter on websites and other data that you enter, without you even knowing. It does require knowing some terms and being a bit familiar with computers, but there are many tutorials on the internet for that one program alone. C&A is capable of gathering lots of info.


Also, if you are using WEP encryption on your router, you can easily be hacked by anyone in a matter of minutes since it is very weak. Use WPA protection if your router supports it.

Wat r some proxy sites to get by school blocks.?

Myspace must work on it



webroxy.com or coolenter.info




You can't. Schools routinely block MySpace and other risky and time-waster sites. You'll get a few responses telling you to use a proxy, but most systems block proxies by default. The better blocking and access control systems block proxies by inspecting the traffic looking for proxified traffic so it doesn't matter how "new" the proxy is, it will not work. On top of that, we admins subscribe to the same mailing lists and use scripts to scrub for new proxies and add them to the explicit block lists. By the time you hear about a "new" proxy, I've already had it blocked.





Be extremely careful of unknown "free" proxies. May of them are located in China, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Their real intent is to capture your logon credentials to the sites that you visit, not some altruistic desire to help you access blocked content for "free speech" purposes. They will then use that against you for all sorts of ugliness.





Several of the so-called proxies that have been posted here are actually malware infested sites designed to hijack your machine (and maybe your school's entire network!) into a bot-net to be used to spread SPAM, malware and/or viruses.




Google is your friend! :D

Soo I going to college? Im going to be taking computer networking and technical support annd..?

from everyone I talked to that take the program they say that the programs all full of guys the class is ALL guys and in some cases there are 3 or 4 girls in other classes taking different programs?Should I still go through with it? I mean its not a passion of mine?I just want to go to school to get a decent job then when the time Is right go to uni to become a nurse (which that my passion) I just don fully trust myself with going to univ YET. This is soo depressing 2 years in a room filled with guys omg? I mean would you look at a girl differently if you and her were in a program dominated by men (considering youe a guy)



I went to college for this and yes it is dominated by guys. However there were a few girls. There were no differences in how we treated each other or how we looked at each other. In fact, it was kind of nice to have a girl or two in your classes. Mixed things up a little. You'll be fine, but I don't see why you don't just go straight to Nursing if that is what you really want to do....




There is nothing wrong with women going into the IT field. It does tend to be dominated by men though. You are going to have to get used to being around all the guys more then they are around you. Expect a LOT of attention, maybe even more than you want.

Switching broadband HELP!!!!?

I currently have BT broadband, and I've noticed a '12 month contract'. does this mean i cannot change my provider?



You have a 12 month contract with BT....you're stuck with them , if you want out you'll be charged a penalty, possibly the remainder of your contract fee?


REMEMBER if you want to change your ISP, get in touch with them b4 your 12 months are up and ask for your MAC code number, as you'll need that to go elsewhere.


If you dont get in touch with them then, they may sign you up for another 12 months


If you tell them you're thinking of changing , they may offer you a discount to stay with them???




You can use any provider you want, but you are still obligated to pay for the service, because you have a 12 month commitment.




you stuck with them as its a legal contracy only way out is to buy yourself out

Problems with Windows XP and Netgear WPN311 accquiring IP address.?

I installed Netgear RangeMax Wireless PCI Adapter WPN 311 on my mothers computer in February. It has been running and working great up until 3 days ago. Windows is not able to find and hold an IP address. Netgear is all set up, but constantly scans because windows can not acquire an IP address. At first it says it was behind a firewall....disabled those...now just trying to acquire.



Maybe try setting a static IP on your Netgear Router. If that doesn't work try setting a static IP using the network settings of your computer.




Check router settings and DHCP is configured to hand out an IP address and check the ranges if you have too many things connecting to the network they all require an individual IP address.


Set up a static IP address.

I heard about pirate bay is it safe?

i was going to download gta4 for my computer but i was wondering if it would be safe or would it be bad quality,as in could it have viruses............................. also does anyone no how to download things off pirate bay for my xbox 360?????



it is true that things from pirate bay are not always clean and of good quality. So you need to take some kinds of risks to test the product and dont run anything from them without scanning them with an updated anti virus. Also at times, the comments of the previous users come very handy.




If you are going to download check the comments below the torrent they will tell you if the game is ok to download and always scan them yourself after downloading.


To get games for your xbox just click piratebay>games >xbox.


Just one other thing with you will have to learn how to crack or patch or mount your file as most games need this done. It is very easy to do but if you have never done it make sure your torrent has full instalation instructions




go onto www.torrentz.com and search for what you want through there and you will have a few options of where to download them from and also people often leave comments about the quality of them. I HOWEVER!!! highly recommend not using pirate bay as they are cracking down on the people using it so for your sake I would avoid using it as I have.




these places are safe but what you download might not that is why you have to be very carefull & run your virus checker over your download before you open.




Whatever you download from these torrent sites, make sure you scan before opening.




The clue's in the name - stay way from pirates!

What is a torrent file?

jus want to no wat a torrent file is



torrent file is something like a ticket to download a bigger file. Its generally of very small size worthy of 10-30 KB. You need to download the torrent file of the file that you wanna download through torrent sharing networks. Then you run that torrent file with different p2p software like mu torrent or bit comet or Limewire etc. These softwires will bring down the large file for which you have downloaded the torrent file.




a torrent is like a social site that transfers files from peer 2 peer.


torrent sites a normaly illegal




it is illegal stuff which you can only download through utorrent

I need help on how to connect a 2nd computer to the internet.?

HI.. well like i said i need some help please.


my first computer is a desktop with windows vista and it has internet via cable modem (comcast). The second computer which is my brothers is in another part of the house and it is also a desktop with windows vista, lets say 80 feet apart from mine. He has a belkin wireless adapter which it was used for our ex internet provider (atnt).(if this is helpful)





ok...now ...can he's computer get internet access from mine? if this is possible please explain me how, with out any cables attach please . ill appreciate your help.



i think you should get a wireless router. i dont think its possible to receive from your other computer. If your computer that has no internet has an inside wireless adapter you dont need to buy an adapter, you just buy the router to transmit the signal.

Question about internet ten points best answer!?

On my modem there are lights that flash whenever data is being sent or received, basically whenever somebody is on the internet. Sometimes they flash when im not on the internet though, i have a multi security function set up on my wireless router (TKIP and AES) and nobody will have guessed the passcode, but i do have a wii console that is constantly connected to the internet (wii connect 24), so how come the lights that show internet activity flash sometimes when im not on the internet, because normally the wii only connects to the internet to receive message but even after the lights flash there are no messages on the wii, can anybody help with this?



These lights are normal, as any two directly connected devices will talk to each other, whether they're passing user traffic or not.





A big culprit is ARP traffic, or "Address Resolution Protocol". Your computer and router both maintain small databases linking MAC (media access control) addresses to IP addresses, and those records expire after a set amount of time, so the two devices keep each other updated.





To see this yourself, use a protocol analyzer such as wireshark (www.wireshark.org/) to see all the bits of traffic going from your computer to the router in real time. They're mostly just making small talk. :) The router and the modem are essentially doing the same thing.




they would be flashing because your wii would be checking the internet for updates/messages even though there are none there

Can you use your wireless router on your wii (for internet) without a computer?(desktop)?

Ok my computer broke and i wont be able to use wii shop channel, online gaming,etc. can i use my wireless router on my wii without the computer? or do i need my desktop to do this? and do i need a wifi adapter?PLEASE HELP!!X(((



If you have a wireless router the wii can still hook up to it. You may have to go into the options, and change the IP address though. I'm not sure... The most common IP that will work is 192.168.1.100 And you can change the 100 to 101 if it doesn't work. If there are other computers on the wireless network the wii will kick them off. I used to have a lot of fun with that feature!




If you have a wireless router the wii can be used with out a pc but if you do not have a wireless router then yes you need a computer for the wii channels to work.




You need the computer to be running with the router to transmit a wireless signal to the console.

How do i know if i have Wi-Fi?

I know i have a wireless connection but Wi-Fi isnt working plz help



Go to your router configuration (192.168.1.1) and check the wireless settings. It's going to tell you what kind of wireless connection it's using.





Alternatively you could look for the model number on your router and check it on google. I'm sure you'd find a link to a manufacturers website with a list of specifications.





Actually the router might even say on the back of it.




A wireless connection, but not sure about WiFi, so I'm assuming you're talking about a mobile phone? If that's correct, google the phone to see if it supports WiFi, and how it is used. Any more of an answer would require a more descriptive question, however.

Can the linksys router I already have be used on a new computer I just bought?

Ive had a linksys router for a few years on my old computer which died out. I got a new computer and want to know if I can use the router I already have or do I need to buy a new one? I have someone who can put it on for me tomorrow but was hoping to avoid buying a brand new one.





Thanks :)



Your old router will definitely work on your new computer. If you had it hooked through a wire ( Cat5 cable ) then just put the cable into your new computer and make sure the LAN ( Local Area Network is enabled ) If you were connected through a wireless connection then just connect to the wireless network just as B4.




It should work fine. It is most likely a G router.


Most new computers have support for both N and G so you should be fine.

1 - Why do we need protocols in computer networks? Discuss in your own words.





2 - In internet IP Version 4 is going to be replaced by IP Version 6, discuss the major factor behind this change.



Did you forget that this is Yahoo answers not you high school class for midterm exam?


1 - Why do we need protocols in computer networks? Discuss in your own words.


What will happen if we do not follow traffic rules on the highway?


Obviously a major disaster.


2 - In internet IP Version 4 is going to be replaced by IP Version 6, discuss the major factor behind this change.


We are running out of IPV4 IP addresses. IPV6 or IP Gen will be next generation IP to meet explosive demand of IP's


IPv6 has a much larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, where IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about 3.41038) addresses

How do I set up my belkin wireless router as an access point to the internet?

I just bought a Belkin wireless G router and I am trying to connect the router as an access point to my laptop. How can I do this?



Welcome to the world of Wireless Networks or WLAN's


I highly recommend you read the instructions that came with the router as they should have detailed steps on how to set-up a a wireless network and connect devices to it.





That said you probably want the answer in a simple point form steps.





1) Get your the main data source and plug it into the correct slot of the Wireless router





2) Connect your Wi-fi capable laptop to the router via (if you are using Windows XP) 'Connect to' -> 'Wireless Network Connection' program





If everything goes smoothly, your new wireless router should be detected by your Laptop and if you are lucky you can select the network and will then have internet access on the laptop, wirelessly!





3) If it is not detected, gain access into the router via typing its IP address into a web browser. If this works you should be able to modify your routers settings. (Good luck with understanding all the various settings - I advise google searching if you get stuck)





If you cannot access the router wirelessly, get an ethernet cable and connect your laptop to the router via the ethernet cable and then try entering in the routers IP address into your browser. After which, you will be experimenting/tweaking your routers settings until your laptop detects the network and you get online.





Does this sound complex?


That is why its best to read the original, manufacturers instructions AND take a little initiative by researching WLAN's.


There are many resources out there via GOOGLE.





That said, new routers are usually very user friendly and there should be an 'easy mode' that you can follow to get online effortlessly.





Best of luck with your wireless network!


Do not forget to add security to your network (network keys, WEP or better encryption, MAC address only filters) to prevent people from easily accessing your wireless network.
