Art Connecting

I just bought a 2Wire 1800HG WIFI Wireless 802.11 Modem Router AT&T DSL. After some configuration on the setup page, I managed to get all the lights on the modem solid green. I am also able to connect my Playstation 3 online through the modem.

But when I try to connect online with my computer, it gives me a "connecting through WAN miniport (ppoe)" message then just stalls.

I was trying to connect through the same connection I had made from my SBC speedstream modem. Im wondering if I need to delete that and configure a new network connection and how I would go about doing that.

Help?
I was using my speedstream modem before which works/worked fine so I dont think its an ISP or computer problem.

call your ISP customer care line… that’s what they’re there for

I am trying to connect to my service provider after re-formatting the hard disk. I have done this in the past but i cant remember how i done it last time. Computrer has 3ghz processor Windows XP home and plenty of memory and graphics card spec ok. I am trying to connect through a ISDN line external modem through a USB 2 port on the actual computer. I have rang provider and seems passwords and phone line ok, i installed ISDN software like manual states and done a loop back test works ok cahnnel b1 & b2 work on utility software and device that has USB connection plugged into computer. I am not sure but what lights should be light up on other device that has direct connection to phone line no lights light up on b1 and b2. I haven’t changed any of the cables since re-formatting. Does anyone know this problem and how to fix this problem please help as its driving me crazy!

when you reformatted you could have deleted the driver for the external modem

You will need to have an editing software running first. An editing software such as final cut or iMovie for mac and avid for windows.

I have a desktop computer at home upstairs. I just bought a laptop with wireless ability. If i buy a wireless notebook adapter, will it be able to connect to the internet upstairs? If my laptop is sitting next to the computer upstairs, I can connect. Please help I am clueless! Thanks!

What you need is a wireless router to provide wireless internet to the laptop. There is setup involved once you get the router but they all come with instructions on how to do the basic setup. A laptop with wireless "ability" already has a wireless notebook adapter built in, it can receive wireless signal, and a wireless router sends the wireless signal to the laptop.

I just can’t connect (had to go to the library!). Any ideas? hope I havent been cut off!

am in nottingham – we’ve had a few short spells of power failures this morning!

I have a cable internet connection. And I used to have a router in the loop and was connected wirelessly and the internet speed was great. My sister had to take the router to her house, and now my computer is directly connected to the modem, and the internet speed is terribly slow. Could there be some kind of registry, driver, or network configuration problem that is causing this?

Here’s a quick fix:

Power off the modem, wait at least 2 minutes (This means unplug it from the wall).
Plug the modem back in after the 2 minutes (This will force a handshake between the provider and you computer).

Please feel free to contact me on messenger if you need more help.

I want Microsoft Outlook to connect from home to check my business emails? Do I have to change anything since its been setup before from companies IP or other settings to receive and send my mails?

It will depend on whether the mail is stored in your office building, or on an internet service

- if it is a mail server somewhere outside your office building, then it should be OK to access it wherever you are

eg host name mail.companyname.co.uk

(sometimes that will still be on a server within your company network, but if so, then it may still be available when you are not in your office)

- if it is on your office LAN (local network) then it depends on the settings used within Outlook.

eg host name 192.168.1.200
that address is only accessed when you are in your office building, so you would need to check with IT staff from your company as to whether mail can be collected (and sent) from a PC outside the company network.

If you can show (some) details (don’t put the actual company domain name) from your settings in Outlook, it might be possible to answer more reliably.

I’ve never traveled via air and had to have a connecting flight so I am just curious.

If you bought your ticket as 1 trip, when you show up for the first segment of your flight, the boarding pass will print out for the connecting flight as well. Any checked luggage will transfer as well.

How can I connect to my wifi on my xbox, by using a ethernet cable to connect the xbox and my desktop tower.So I have a wire going from my xbox, to my desktop, then connecting to the wifi using my dongal? I’ve heard something about bridging the connections? Can anyone help me?

Hi
Make sure you have one ethernet going from your modem to your pc, then have another ethernet cable from the pc to the XBOX.
Go into your network connections via the control panel. There should now be two connections. Hold the CTRL key and click the two connections, they should both now be hilighted.
Right click either connection to pull down the menu, and pick "BRIDGE CONNECTIONS".
Tada, you have bridged your xbox to your computer. I hope it helps!

A wireless router is what you are going to want.
