No 2 is currently not being used... and it is old as hell... I am thinking i may just need to break down and upgrade...

That is how I tried it first off. I plugged in an ethernet cable into the internet port from router 1. Disabled DHCP on router 2 and changed router 2's IP to 192.168.1.2... Didn't work... That I why I am thinking a switch after the ISP modem. So I can split the internet signal coming into...

Would it be easier to connect a switch to the cable modem then use that to make 2 separate networks? I would still have to use the 2 different network address (ie. 192.168.2.x and 192.168.1.y) or am I totally off?

That was a good video Saltgrass but I wanted to know if there was a way to make a whole new network. Here I have to use the same SSID and my home network. I want a stand alone access point for a work type of network. My home network is MAC filtered and for the new one I just want it password...

@AST - That sounds more like your back light wasn't working right or was loose. When you dropped it the power converter for the back light was jarred into place and it started working again... Not something I would have tried but I'm glad it worked for you. I did try and hook this system up...

It acts the same no matter how i have power supplied to it. I am not getting any post beeps of any kind.

@davidhk129 I don't have vista on hand but I put in the UBCD and tried to get it to boot. No such luck... At least I don't think so... It powers on and the lights come on and the fans run and it even sounds like it is reading the DVD. There is just no display. @bassfisher6522 I tried what...

Well I am a DYI guy and a friend brought this to me cause he doesn't have the money. I realize the cmos just holds the time but I thought I would ask. Do you really think that trying to re-install windows is the answer? Do you think it will boot to a disk if it doesn't try to boot at all? It...

I am working on a HP Pavilion TX 1120us for a friend. He gave it to me and said that it has been acting up for a while and now won't start at all. It turns on and the fans start but there is no attempt at booting. Could this be the CMOS battery or something more dire?
