Newbie network problem. Please HELP!!
Hello All,
I am running a Belkin wireless g router with my desktop (desktop has belkin usb dongle thing to pick up wireless signal) no probs. Both my sons are using laptops one with another belkin dongle which works fine and the other which is a wireless packardbell easynote 1 series (model number R1935) I have enabled the wireless bit on the laptop and it either searches and spends ages `aquiring the network` or it fails to locate the network (even though it is less than 10ft away) I cannot for the life of me figure out the problem. Any suggestions? Also is it possible to link the 3 computers wirelessly to enable file share and acces? Ta in advance. |

Hi
May be this can Help for the Wireless problem. My New Wireless does not work - http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Wireless, Basic Configuration - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Config.html Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html File sharing is the same for Wire, or and Wireless. Any computer that can connected to the Router (Wire or Wireless) can be configured for File Sharing. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Jack (MVP-Networking).

Mart the belkin router has set ip gateways 192.165.x.x the fisrt two pcs (using belkin usb wireless thingies) were taking the first two ips... so i changed the ip add of the 3rd laptop and its dns gateways to look for the 3rd ip in the running order and set the gateways to the same as the routers. BINGO surf away.. the only trouble is it is unsecured.. so i need to set it up with a pascode. when i tried initially it did not work for the 3rd laptop., but hey i will get round it |

[...] I have enabled the wireless bit on the laptop and it either searches and spends ages `aquiring the network` or it fails to locate the network (even though it is less than 10ft away) Belkin makes absolutely terrible routers and is probably the source of your problem. I had similar problems at a friend's house with their Belkin router. Nothing would get it to work with my not-Belkin wifi card (theirs worked fine, they use a Belkin card). They also happened to have a spare Linksys WRT router laying around, though: Replacing the Belkin router caused the problem to go away immediately. |

I've had a lot of problems with Belkin routers that disappeared when I
went to D-Link or Linksys. The Forgotten wrote: Hello All, I am running a Belkin wireless g router with my desktop (desktop has belkin usb dongle thing to pick up wireless signal) no probs.
