Set up a router with two computers? gateway question??

hi i have a router and two computers, both computers connect to the router, but can't ping each other..

the router has two ethernet ports, port1 has an ip address of 192.168.1.2 and port2 has 192.168.2.1 ... not sure if this is right....

okay computer A has ip address of 192.168.1.2 and computer B has ip address of 192.168.1.3 and both use the same gatway which is 192.168.2.1

I dont know why your IP addresses would be in different ranges if they are connected to the same router....

Your routers IP address is 192.168.2.1 so it should have a built in DHCP server that assignes the computers an automatic IP address in the sam range, something between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.254.

Also your computers should both have file and printer sharing enabled, Make the workgroup name on the computers the same and then place the IP addresses of the computers in each of the computers firewall trusted zone.

The router is a router, not a network hub. But make your PC IP addresses very different, say 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.2.11. Make the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and set each PCs gateway as 192.168.2.1. I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try.

How can I hook up 2 computers to wifi with one computer not having an ethernet port?

I have 2 computers in different rooms of my house. I have a wireless B router, a DSL modem, and a wireless B USB Network Adapter.

The problem is that one of my computers (the one that I hooked up the DSL to primarily, as the other computer isn't near a phone jack) doesn't have an ethernet port. I messed with the motherboard and needless to say, it's busted. Anyway, I have all of those things and no matter what I do, it's always one or the other computer that doesn't get the internet.

I hooked my DSL up using USB connection, but the router needs ethernet.

Help!

Pick up a multi port USB adapter. it turns one USB port into 4, then plug USB wifi adapter into one of the new ports.

I'm not sure I understand the question much, but if all you need is an ethernet port, just purchase a NIC at your local PC shop. They are fairly cheap and easy to install
Yo said that only one of your computers conect, one or the other.... I think that your wireless router is configure to only allow one conection... check on yor router manual how to change that

Computers for sale. in so. cali?

Well anyone interested in the computers I am trying to sell, then let me know, but only if your serious. I posted a question earlier today and got a bogus answer from some little kid. I guess 12 yr olds could be playing around thinking they are cool. Anyway I do have 2 computers that I need to sell. One is brand new and one I bought 4 months ago. Also one came with a monitor, and the brand new one didn't. It has the tower keyboard and mouse. So if anyone is interested but for real, then let me know and I can email you or we could chat so I can give you all the details. thanks very much appreciated.

If you don't want bogus answers, don't use the wrong tool for the job you're trying to do. This is OBVIOUSLY not the forum for buying and selling your stuff. Try eBay. Abusing this forum for what you're trying to use it for is...well...pretty low.

Computers for sale. in so. cali?trojan

Naive. If you have a problem with your PC I can help you. Or I can sell you 4 computers I have. But Don't try to sell here anything in here, I'm the only one who can do that. I'm the one and only salesman in here. Go to somewhere else because this site is mine.

Building Custom Computers?

Hi, I am 15 years old, and very good with computers, I am thinking about building custom computers for people, as a way to earn a bit of money. so i have a few questions for you:

1. Would you trust a 15yo to buid a computer for you?

2. How much would you pay for the labour? Not parts

3. How long would you want it done in

4. Would charging extra for support after 2 months be ok and how much?

Thanks!

Building Custom Computers?software

1. I would not personally trust a 15 year old to build my computer. I am also very good with computers and have the background to build them, but there is just too much stuff that can be ruined without a college degree.

2. I would pay about....10-20 dollars an hour.

3. I would probably want it done within a month or two.

4. If i were you, I wouldn't do that. Just let them have their computer and take it back to you if they have problems. Problems in the computer are not always fixable without high charges, and it is hard to identify computer hardware problems if theres no way of testing them.

Building Custom Computers?vincent

1. I would NOT TRUST a 15 yo to build my machine

2. I would probably pay $15-25 per hr. (since he or she's 15)

3. Within a weekend.

4. DEFINITELY NOT, considering the likelihood of error in the building process

Are our computers pre programed to break down?

I have a good multi media computer and do not download anything without first making sure its safe...but have started getting messages " microsoft has incountered a prob and needs to close down sorry for any inconvinince caused" plus i have only had this computer ( brand new ) from currys october last year and have found stuff on the c drive dating back to 2003---- whats going on-- and my dad was looking at torrents for a reg cleaner and downloaded a good one but after he done this his pc started to freeze up ect ect minor probs... one might think that there was something in his download to cause this but i dont think so because no sooner had he downloaded his reg cleaner ( free ) he got an e-mail from his current internet security offering him a reg cleaner for 14.99.... suspect things going on or what....How did they know that he needed a reg cleaner ( did they make the prob ? ) computers are big money makers and i think pre programed to bust before you get them--- what do you think

Are our computers pre programed to break down?spyware removal

I repair computers for a living and I wish they were pre-programmed to break down as this would bring me huge amounts of business. But I don't think they are.

Lots of the Windows stuff is dated with the date the file in question was created so that could easily be 2003 or earlier.

How to computers actually work?

how do the people that build computers store all the information and programmes in the microchip or whatever its called in the computer? i dont understand how the whole computer works on just a bunch of wires and microchips, and how everything is stored in them.

How to computers actually work?spyware remove

There's a big question :)

It's all built up from pulses of electricity.

The main parts are:

cpu: "brain" which has lots and lots of little gates that take two pulses of electricity (or one pulse and one non-pulse, or two non-pulses) and spits out a resulting pulse or no pulse. Kind of like analyzing two flipped coins.

But there are thousands of these little gates, and they can analyze things very, very quickly.

Really basic software uses these gates to do things like add up numbers. Then more advanced software does lots and lots of adding up to draw a dot on the screen. Then more advanced programs again draw a smiley face, and so on.

RAM: kind of like a scribble pad to draw all your sums on. Running programs live here, and when you turn off your computer, it's like erasing a blackboard.

Hard Drive: Place to store the calculating programs and their results etc. When you turn off the computer, everything survives. These work by storing everything again as an on or off pulse, stored magnetically on some special metal. Running a magnet over a hard drive will completely stuff it up.

How to computers actually work?virus protection

A computer isn't all one piece, it is dozens of smaller parts that have only one function.

They are joined together at the BIOS chip which acts like a switch/regulator,controlling the impulses to each simpler device.

The BIOS answers only to the processor, which is the most complicated part of all.

It is the King of the unit, the heart and soul one might say.

It tells the BIOS what signal to send, when and at what voltage.

Computers, file recovery??

my brother just put together a powerpoint for school but the computer shut off for some reason. (maybe because of static electricity cuz it was sitting on the floor) But i know there is some way of recovering it even if you dont save it. New computers have a way of remembering it in some way. Does anyone know what im talking about? if you do can you please let me know how i can recover it?

Computers, file recovery??spyware remover

open powerpoint. it will show you the list of recovered files. recover it from there...

Computers, file recovery??virus removal

hmm...personally i think its not worth the trouble trying to recover it, but http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ has a program where you can get deleted files from your computer. You have to buy it though...so its really not worth it if you're just recovering one powerpoint. Also, you can go to programs-%26gt;accessories-%26gt;System tools-%26gt;System Restore and if it was a recent document or blah blah something then u can recover it easily, but it is very sensitive and it will not just recover one thing but things ahead of it or in that present day.
