hello, i am in need of some help. this problem has me completly stumped. i have no idea what caused this problem or how to fix it. i think i have tried everything possible (except a format and reinstall of windows). please read the complete question and help me if you can. thanks.
two days ago i turned on my computer. everything had been working fine the day before when i turned the computer off. my computer is supposed to connect to another computer (ill call it computer 2) on my home network (via an ethernet wire). computer 2 has internet connection sharing enabled on a wireless connection to my router. my laptop and computer 2 can connect wirelessly to my router.
my computer (computer 1) suddenly can't access anything on the network, it gets an IP from computer 2 (192.168.0.2), but it cant access computer 2's webserver (at 192.168.0.1:80), nor can it access any files on the network or my printer/scanner. i tried putting in a wireless pci card that my friend let me use for an hour. that got an IP from my router (192.168.15.6), but i still couldnt access files on my network or access webpages.
when i use computer 1 to ping computer 2, it says:
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
General failure.
General failure.
General failure.
General failure.
Ping statistics for 192.168.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss), when i try pinging computer 1 from computer 2, it says:
C:\>ping 192.168.0.2
Pinging 192.168.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.0.2:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers on my computer, i've tried using system restore, and ive tried reinstalling windows (did not format, just a reinstall). but i still can't access anything on my network or any webpages. has anyone had this problem before? or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks in advance,
sam kline
ps. all my computers are running windows xp home, SP1

Try to check your router configuration. First question is: does your router act as DHCP server? The second question is: how many people that could access to the router configuration? One option in the router could block the specific computer to access an internet connection.

I take it you have already done this, but I'll mention it anyway:
First, turn off PC2, PC1, and Router. When I say turn off, I really mean disconnect the power cord!
Next, starting with the router, reapply power, restart, wait for the diagnostics to complete, and only then start PC1.
Check to insure that PC1 has internet access. If it does, open a DOS window and type in "ipconfig" (without the quotes). It should give you:
IP address assigned
Subnet mask
Standard Gateway
Write this information down. Now start PC2 and repeat the ipconfig command in a DOS window. Compare the settings and post the results from both machines here.

Remember that formatted and re-install windows is the final decision when you have a problem with your operating system. Try to fine the best way first to solve the problem. Formatted your hard drive many time could reduce the quality of your hard drive and become non function soon. In the future if you have any problem try to find the solution as much as possible in order to formatted windows.

Doesn't The time it self reduce quality not formating?

Yes of course, everything will reduce it quality when the time by pass. Even a human life, when you born -> baby -> teenager -> adult and old. It is the law of nature, but in here if you format the hard drive it will reduce the quality more than you usually use it.

Where did you read this crap? Or did you just assume some stuff and make it up?
Formatting doesn't reduce the quality of the disk surface any more than saving a file. All it is is the manipulation of the magnetic properties of the disk surface, no different than any other read/write operation on the drive. The only difference being that a format covers the entire surface of the drive, or partition as the case may be.

I think Roath is getting some very bad information from this friend he mentioned in a post above.
I hope the friend isn't a tech support guy for Dell!

how can i install sql server 2000 on windows server 20003? because when ever
i tried an error message generated "this version cann't be install on win-2003.
please give step by step inastalation process.

Yes, and no. So long as you're not trying to install SQL2000 on the Windows 2003 Web Edition, you can get it to work. You just have to install SQL2000 Service Pack 3a after the install.
If you running on Windows 2003 Web Edition, you're SOL.

i used to have this kind of problem like you too. And i try to post the question to this forum long time and have some solution for me to install an sql server 2000 on windos xp then upgrade windows xp to windows server 2003 then apply the service pack of sql server 2000 to sp3a or sp4. But now i found another solution from here[^] but i never try yet. Let try this way and let me know whether it is working or not. Good luck!!!

Hi, a naive question, why do people open high port numbers on firewall?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe because they need them open for return traffic from things that run on protocols like RPC.

Hi, I have a question relating to wireless router. I have dlink wireless router[^] 5 port (1 port for WAN and 4 port for LAN) and built in atena for support wireless router. My question is: I just want to turn on the router but turn off the wireless signal. Is it possible to do that? Because sometime i want to allow it run both or run only router port but disable wireless connection.

depends on the feature set of the router. My Netgear allows me to disable the wireless interface completely and just use it as a router.
If you can't disable yours can you remove the antenna? Some models allow you to unscrew the antenna.

Thank you very much for your information. I will check my router feature again and i found that the atena also could be remove. Does it affect the quality of the router if i remove the atena? Because i did not found any feature that allow me to remove the atena.

The antenna has no effect on the ability of the router to route packets. Removing the antenna will just cripple the usable range on the wireless transceiver, but not disable it completely.

Thank you very much for your comment. So how could we completely disable the wireless networking?
|

If your router doesn't supply some kind of settings in its management UI, you can't.
I've got a DLink 774. You can't turn off the wireless trans on it either.

wrapping it in tinfoil would further degrade reception, although there would still be leakage where your ethernet cables came out.
If you're willing to void the warantee, and risk breaking the router to permanantly disable wireless, you could try opening it up, and severing all the circuitboard traces coming out of where the antenna was connected.

 IF I wanted to disable my wireless, I'd consider it!
