Hi, I recently installed RealVNC so that I can look after a remote computer on my network. I have
installed the server on computer a and the client on computer b! The server is running in service
mode and has been setup with a password for authentication. My first problem comes when I try to
connect from B to A. I get different errors messages including Connection Timed Out and Connection
Refused. I have unblocked the ports on windows firewall (ports 5920 and 5820 (thats what im using))
and opened a series of ports on my router to allow access. Using command prompt and ...

I don't know if that is the right title but here goes. The computer I'm on is connected to
the internet via dial-up and has a printer connected to it. My computer has no internet connection,
but has many graphics programs and things that I would like to transfer the the internet connected
computer. I had the computers networked when I had highspeed internet and a cable modem, but
I'm not sure how to network them now that their both not on the internet. So my question is,
how do I network these two computers? (I know it's probably very simple)...

hey everyone...i was wondering if someone could help me with a problem we were trying to hook up a
computer to my home network and realized that the network on the computer was a domain while the
rest of ours at home were on a workgroup. so, i had the computer join my home work group instead of
it's previous domain. the join was successful but once the computer restarted, we can now no
longer log onto that computer! is there anyway to bypass the network logon? my father has
extremely important work files on that computer, and we cannot log on! i tried canceling ou...

I feel that PHP FOX and other commercial social networking scripts are way too costly for any new
social networking site and that adds to the fact that these scripts need to be modified to help the
site stand apart from being a clone of the more established players in the business. I tried using
PHP IZABi ,the script is slick and easy to use ,not to forget its fast but most of the important
addons(modules,themes,hacks) are paid ,hence it doesn't fit the bill. Instead of looking at
stand alone solutions i started using Joomla,being targeted towards everyone,joomla h...

Hello Folks, Long time since i last posted here. Anyways, I am having problems or rather having
issues about networking my PC with the MAC at home through a Modem+wireless router. I have been
using a normal DSL modem since i switched to broadband 5 years ago. A Lucent Cell Pipe 20A USB. I
finally decided i needed to change my modem because firstly the drivers werent updated any more and
secondly the product is discontinued. I bought a new Wireless ADSL2 + Modem router. This is what i
was told to buy as i had no idea of what i needed for the upgrade. Its a NETGEAR DG834G...

A Short Introduction to Networking IP addresses or Internet Protocol addresses are the way in
which computers on a network both communicate with each other and know where they all are in
relation to one another. An IP address is something like a mailing address for computers on the
Internet. This mailing address allows your email to arrive at the right place and your Web page
customers to see the correct Web site. Most IPv4 addresses are in the format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Each set is a number from 0 to 255. So a typical IP address will look something like this: 63.141...

Hi all, i have just recently upgraded my home network to a wireless connection. I have a older
laptop (maybe 2 years) that doesn't have a built in wireless lan. i am trying to work out what i
should do for a wireless lan adapter. Should i get a USB connector or a PCMCIA card? i borrowed a
friends PCMCIA card and put it into my laptop so see how the range was! it was really, really bad!
my friend also lent me his psp to test the signal sstrength. The PSP could get 100% strength while
the PCMCIA card could get nothing. does this mean that the PCMCIA cards are bad? al...

I want to open up a hosting account for starting a website which solely contains articles and
discussioins on security related topics. Since It is written in the Terms and COnditions that any
site related to HACKING is not tolerated, I want to ask you some conditional questions: 1. What are
the exact topics not meant to be discussed in the website / forum hgosted by Astahost? 2. I promise
that I will try to control the useless posts PLUS those which directly guide people about how to

I'm creating my own friend network script which is going to be a combo of MySpace/Facebook and
an AIM profile. One of the most important features is the adding of friends. The way to do this is
probably simple & I'll kick myself when I see the code to do it. What needs to happen is a
friend clicks a link which sends an internal message through the scripts messaging system (like a PM
on a forum) to the other person to approve or deny the request. In that message, there needs to be a
link to a page which executes a PHP script which updates the database adding b...

Since I haven't had any luck with my internet connection sharing problem which i posted
previously, due to the terrible quality of service here, i've decided a second connection may be
the answer. I won't give up the cable because i also have 2 phone lines on it, plus cable tv,
but I will get a 256K DSL connection in addition to my 128K cable. The benefits of this will be that
it's double, plus i'll get the full 256K connection for myself without having to share it
with other users. (I explained previously about the 10to1 ratio used here in pakistan)...

What Im looking to do: Hook up 2 computers (one upstairs and one down) and my xbox live. 1) Is
wireed networking significantly faster than normal networking? 2) Can't you get special adapters
and have your network only give info through those (to prevent network hacking)? 3) With wireless
networking would you have to buy adapters for each computer - I think some wireless routers require
it. 4) If I would need those how would that work with xbox live? 5) Any other info on these sorts of
products or if there is any you want to suggest? I use adelphia.net isp & when i...

I need to write some networking library in C++. I know C++, I know networking programming on Linux.
But not, I'm working in a networking project on Windows. I may need an ebook or some reference

Hi any and all. I recently got a D-link wireless router and my laptop has an internal WLAN card
which works perfectly under windows so I know the hardware is not the problem. The Distro im using
is Mandrake/Mandriva (depending on what you call it) limited edition 2005. During bootup I've
pressed escape to monitor whats going on and it fails to bring up my device, it knows its there but
it cant bring it up, I dont know if this is because it cant detect the WLAN so it means theres no
WLAN or if theres a problem with drivers etc and it cant start up the hardware? Ive...

Dear all, May be i was late this topic but recently i was being bumped with this topic called
Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing from bussiness area to flow over my engineering carrier.
Some of my collogues put away what their current carrier and jump over there and told me that it was

Well... I've finally done it! I've completely erased my slackware installation and embarked

It covers almost everything. I followed the handbook word for word and starting with a stage2

went great. I rebooted and it actually worked... I got a login prompt and everything...

I'm trying to set up a small home network between two computers. I have SUsE linux on one
computer, and XP pro on the other. I believe I have the hardware end sorted out, but I am having
much trouble with the set-up of the network devices. on the linux machine, it is asking for an IP
address for the computer. I don't know what I should put, can someone clue me in? On the XP
machine, it is trying to renew my IP address, but it will not renew it. It than says that it has
