  1. Okay... I live with my grandparents. On her computer (w/ microsoft Home for her OS) is a WRT54GS wireless linksys router W/ speed booster.... my room is upstairs i have the WMP54GS wireless card W/ speed booster installed. (with microsoft XP OS) and so we are on a network for the internet.... HOW the F can i access her computer from mine. Im not talking VNC, im talking if i want a file or movie or something from her computer, how can i make a network or something so that i can access her computer? I have tried everything (her computer name//IP) in a address bar, tried using 'wireless network setup wizard' i have tried alot and just get an error... i still cannot figure it out... Are there any other ways out there to set up so i can access my grandmas computer from upstairs?

  2. I moved to my grandparents and now im not connected straight to my modem anymore. Im using a Linksys Wireless G router with Speed booster... The router is on my grandmas computer and i have the network card. Back at home i was getting close to 200 Kbps a second download (when it was the westel moden right into my comp) and now im this...

    :::.. Download Stats ..:::

    Connection is:: 721 Kbps about 0.72 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)

    Download Speed is:: 88 kB/s

    Tested From:: https://testmy.net  (Server 1)

    Test Time:: 2006/04/15 - 1:30pm

    Bottom Line:: 13X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 11.64 sec

    Tested from a 386 kB file and took 4.39 seconds to complete

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

    Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 14.05 % of your hosts average (verizon.net)

    Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-X5E6BLVOQ

    that really REALLY upsets me... am i to expect this or are there some things i can do to tweek// settings to change to boost that performance. Im not going to be very satisified with that.

  4. OKAY, so im ticked. Im at my friends and im trying to connect to my house computer. The VNC server at my house and here are running Port 5900 (main) and 80 (HTTP). I can connect BUT when the screen to load my computer comes up, it goes heywire and tons of screens are continuously being processed saying 'please wait...initial screen loading'

    thats what it looks like, im confused on what to do.

    P.S. Sorry to be constantly posting about this.

  5. Thats one thing i love about Verizon. You can get the Internet Security Suite and to be honest, It works amazing. I love it, best firewall/anti-spy/anti-virus i have ever had.  It does EVERYTHING of wanders for you.

  6. so im in class right now, trying to access my computer at home which is running the VNC server and i cannot connect.... any ideas?  i have 5900 as my main port and 80 as the http port.

  7. I just downloaded the free version of realVNC off their site (www.realVNC.com) i installed it and im playing around with it because i want to set it up so i can access my computer from my computer class at school... after installing it i try to run the server and a dos screen pops up saying  'Starting User-Mode VNC Server.'  and it just sits there.... why is it not connecting, i know i dont have it firewalled... any ideas anyone?

  8. eh, if all else fails, im buying a 1 Gig flash drive soon, ill just put stuff on that.  : )

    im going to set up a VNC on my comp tonight and see if i can get through to it from the school. some of the teachers do it so i imagine i can do it.

  9. Sorry if I sound "adult", but you're at school, you shouldn't be able to listen to music or IM your friends.

    yeah well when you're a SR in high school, have all your required classes done, and dont need anymore electives. and can easily maintain a 95% GPA...You have NOTHING better to do.

    As long as i keep my GPA high, ill do whatever i want.
