Art Connecting

i have subscribed to dsl but i’m having a problem .i don’t want to be always connected to the internet.when the computer is turned on , the dsl connection starts automatically.and if i disable the network,the connection is gone but i can’t enable it until i restart the computer.what can i do to connect and disconnect whenever i want.

Here is what i did. I bought a pci slot network adapter card that way when i turn off my computer the slot powers down and im not connected and when i turn on the computer it connects automatically without me doing a thing.

I didnt like the idea of going thru the motherboard and having it always connected either and this is what i did so i wouldnt be.

I have a Verizon Wireless internet card, and I have recently purchased a xbox 360. Is there any way to connect my xbox 360 to my internet card using the USB cord that came with my internet card?

No. You’d need to buy a wireless adapter especially made for the XBOX

My son has left his sony vaio lap top at home. It will not connect to the internet. When I check all the network connections it tells me that it is connected to my BT home hub but when I open IE I receive an error message stating that Internet Explorer cannot open the web page. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It may be conencted to the home hub, but is the home hub connected to your internet service provider? (Are other computers on the home hub,, and working properly?)

If not, unplug the home hub power supply, plug it back in, let it reconnect, then restart the computer.

Hey dude I connect to the Internet the same way except I got a different ISP. What you have to do is
Go to
1. System > Networking
You will see a list of Networking devices like
Wireless Connection, Ethernet Connection, Modem Connection.
2. Double click on Wireless Connection.
3. Click Enable this connection.
4. Select the Network by the putting in the Network Name.
If you got WEP enabled (The password to access your network) Enter it. Also make sure you select what type of key it is.. Usually it is in ASCII
Select DHCP if your router is set to randomly allocating Computers with IP addresses
click OK
Now back again in the Windoe showing the different Devices. make sure the Wireless Device Is Activated
NOw at the bottom of the window select the default gateway device is eth1 or eth0 depending on which one the wireless device is assigned to..

I’m having problems connecting to my wireless network. My computer cannot see the network (SSID) but I know the wireless network is up because a different computer is connected to the network .

Could anyone give me some options as to solving this issue?

If you cannot see the ssid you need to check this out:

1. Is the wireless turned on on the pc. Some pcs have a toggle switch on the pc as well as a software on / off switch. Make sure they are active.

2. Is the SSID broadcast turned on at the router? Usually this is turned off after all are initially configured.

Check these out.

I was asked to make simple DSS models and connecting them wiith Database , I want to take ur opinion un the best PL

The Answer are dependent on some factors:
1. What language you are acquainted to?
C++, vb, c#, Java
2. What Database?
mysql, Postgresql, sql server..

for me i use Visual Studio 2005/2008 in developing database application and mysql is my backend database, In VS you can do everything you want to do, like classes, enumerations, collections…I suggest you try VS-MySQL its the best software team.

i have connected to the right connection, put the wep key in but when it comes to the test connection, the @playstaion network bit fails,

Ok if your PS3 is one of the older models then it may have been affected by a previously unkown error affecting millions of units as of press time.

Try not to force the issue as it may erase your trophies and game data. Older PS3s apparently re-set its time/date back to 1999 as a result of a bug/glitch in the firmware causing problems with synchronization as consequently, deletion of files, data and trophies. An update is in the works. Don’t worry for now ok.

I have a wireless printer, a wireless laptop and a desktop that is connected by USB to a wireless router. My laptop connects wirelessly to the printer but Im wondering if it is possible to connect the desktop wirelessly to the printer via the router? I have tried setting up a network to no avail. The desktop has XP and the laptop has Vista.
I have tried connecting the printer via the traditional methods but that doesnt work. I have tried connecting it via the USB but that doesnt work. When I click print and I send it to the printer, it counts up to 100% as normal but nothing happens.

just add it as a local printer via a tcp/ip port
print out the ip of the printer and put that ip into the add printer wizard.
that should do the trick
good luck!!!!!

pls Rate thx

Plug the network cable from the DSL Modem into the "uplink" port of the router. Plug your computer’s network cable into one of the other ports on the router. Done.
