I just upgrade from a Windows Me machine to a Windows XP machine, and
I'm experiencing an odd problem.
I use a broadband connection, but I also have a dial-up service for
emergencies.  Now that I'm using Windows XP, I suddenly find that, when

When I first brought my laptop I took it into work. I then had our IT person
add it to the “Domain” so I could work with the Offline files from my home.
Problem # 1
I cannot join my Workgroup at home because this laptop already belongs to a

My Win XP Pro laptop is normally the one that dials-up, so I've run the
Network Setup Wizard so that the laptop has ICS enabled with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.1/24.  Our Win XP MCE 2005 machine is set up for
dynamic IP address.  We don't leave the computers physically ...

Problem:  Entire network drops, IP addressing from wired/wireless
router stops.  IP 169.n.n.n on all workstations.  All connections on
router and switch are good and lit.  Normal activity seen on both the
router and switch.

We have our network configured like this:
Headquarters: 10.0.0.0/16
Branch Office A: 10.1.0.0/16
Branch Office B: 10.2.0.0/16

A year or so ago my son installed a Wireless Router/LAN on my XP Home
PC, and I regret not paying more attention to the details of how he
set it up! One feature was a folder called 'TRANSFERS' on my desktop.
It allowed me to occasionally transfer files to and from a W98 PC I

At home, I have certain users (my kids) set up that I want to lock out of the
internet entirely.  Is there a way to password protect any internet
connection?  Right now all I've done is delete any icons that will get them
there, but my oldest will probably figure it out soon ...

I have three computers on my home network.  They are all connected
through a D-Link DI-524 which supports my DSL connection.
1'st computer: is a new HP 1240n running WinXP Media Center (and this is
my primary computer), connected via LAN connection.

I checked a couple of posts and didn't find the answer yet.
Here is the situation:
Roadrunner cable -> Modem -> Linksys rounter -> cables to computer A and
computer B, A running WinXP SP2 home edition, B running WinXP SP2

Symantec just bought Sygate few days ago, and as usual, they
have removed the 'free' version of the firewall and its docs from
their web-page.   Where can I find some good literature about
this new Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6 ...  I am having some

I've been running 3 pcs (2 with XP-home and one XP-pro) on a belkin wireless network with Norton IS 2006 installed and configured for all three (allowing for a range of network addresses from 192.168.2.1 to ...199).  Up until yesterday this worked fine.  Internet access and ...

Me and my dad are connected with a router in our LAN, and about the
time he reinstalled XP and changed his motherboard, my computer could
not get online when he dialed in.  It seems as though one of the
computer is not letting the connection through.  We are connected and

I  have a stable LAN consisting of two Windows XP computers that are behind
a router (connected to the Internet). I have bound "Files and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks" and "Client for Microsoft Windows" to
Netbeui and unbound them from TCP/IP.  I have enabled Simple ...

Hey all,

a wired connection and has worked perfectly fine prior. No recent
installations that I can remember. No spyware either. Restarting the
