switch

My work network consists of a cable modem with a static IP from there it goes into a Cisco 871W wireless router/vpn then into a 48 port switch. My problem is that all other computers running Windows 2000 professional and XP connect to this network except for the new laptop running Windows 7. I...

Last night we had problems here at our lan party with slow network and viruses and other stuff. we found the person responsible for the viruses making other peoples anti-virus programs scan and pop up their thingys and he had porn and hacks so he had to be disconnected and cleaned up. now every...

Tonight we are holding a lan party, but everything is going wrong with our Server, Switches, routers and computers. it's all so slow and everyones antivirus and malware programs are popping up saying theres threats. What is going on? :mad:

I have four nodes on my network, they are all hooked up to the same switch and all of the computers can see each other except for one. The three that can see each other states that they are on the network "Network" and the fourth computer states that it is on network "Network 2". We had it...

I added a switch to my network because I needed more ports for my DirecTV receivers. Turns out the receivers don't play nice with the switch so I cannot port them to it. I have to port my desktop running windows 7 to the switch. Now I'm finding out that Homegroup isn't working well with the...

Well this is not easy for someone who enjoys linux as much as I do but I (keep in mind I have used computer sense the commadore 64) have to admit I have made the switch to back to MS with windows 7. I bought my new dellI 1564 with the intention with converting it to Ubuntu, however, I wanted to...

I am having a strange problem with my taskbar. For some reason, whenever I have multiple instances of a program open, like firefox or word, I can usually mouse over the icon and switch between the different instances. But for some reason now I can't. I have been experiencing other odd problems...

Well my problem is before I moved my internet worked perfectly, but now that I moved and left my old cisco switch at my old house the internet does not work. If I go pick up that switch and use it instead of this belkin one it would work. Why would that happen? I tired all of that inconfig stuff...

I've been using IME to type in Japanese, but I'm having a weird problem with it. It will run on startup fine, (I've seen the ctfmon.exe thing, and I have it running) but the IME panel disappears any time I bring focus to any application other than the taskbar/start menu. It used to work fine...

my Windows 7 pro 64-bit and Windows XP machines are connected via a netgear gs605 switch which then connect to a netgear wpn824v2 router to the internet. Both Machines can find each other if I type \\machinename into explorer and files are then accessible by both. I guess I should be happy that...

hej vil høre om det er muligt at indstallere flere sprog, som man kunne i XP og Vista? Savner muligheden for at kunne skifte fra dansk til thai.

When I try to host a game over lan using the tcp/ip protocol (like most games support) the screen freezes. At first I thought it was the games fault, but after having the exact same problem in 3 different games, this is not possible anymore. I first had this issue in Commandos 2, whenever I...

Everytime I boot my pc it says network cable is unplug. So I unplug it from the pc and replug it and it still cant see the network. Next thing I do is unplug the cable from the switch (netgear) and replug it and now it works... Everytime I boot I have to unplug it from the switch and replug it...

Heya, I'm trying to set up my laptop and stationary on a LAN so a friend and I can game against each other. However it doesn't work. Both the Windows Firewall and the Bullguard firewalls are down. When I clicks 'See full network map' I can see them both. They're connected to the same switch...

Hi, Generally, the new taskbar system is very nice. However, if I have two applications open (say, firefox and adobe reader) and multiple windows open in each application, switching is not very efficient. If I'm in adobe reader and there is only one firefox window open and I click the firefox...
