    help my network dissappeared!

    in Networking and Hardware

    Posted

    This is another one of those problems.. like rich said check firewall.. if you are prompted for a password.. try the default one.. I think you can set up an account  to log other computer on to that computer.  Something about Windows XP pro vs. Home vs Ever other edition of windows.    what versions are you using?

    I'm using XP media center on mine and Xp home on the other. My brother's doesn't have a firewall besides windows firewall; should i install one so that he can make the adjustment to allow the ip address?

    I just had this problem in the last few days. Before, whenever I logged on, the computer would almost instantly load the desktop, Now, whenever I log on, it takes forever. I'm looking at just my background with desktop. It's really strange. It takes like 5-10 minutes for it to come on. Please help me fix this  :icon_pale:

    I already set up a LAN network a long time ago. I had norton internet security but the subscription ran out so i was kind of lazy and didnt want to resubscribe it to it yet. I just resubscribed and then when i restarted my computer, my network was gone. I could not see my brother's computer on my computer. I connected both computers with a gateway from Verizon.

    How can I fix this? i tried making a new network but it doesn't work. The network does not show up

    AMD's archetecture difference vs Intel

    in General Discussion

    Personally, I didn't want to sound like an AMD fanboy, it's just that I've had such good experiences from their procs in the past many years since my old Pentium 166 with MMX tech just couldn't work with what I needed to do, though the proc itself still works, the motherboard died after eight and a half years of heavy service in which it ran win95, then win98 se, then experimented with QNX, Knoppix, Debian, then a couple months of WinXP pro with only 64mb of ram ;^)

    Still, if you take proper care of the system, i.e. good ventilation around where you will have the system, and give it good maintenance then you should get a good experience out of it.  Then Pentium D 830 should give you a good experience from what I have seen playing around with some systems of some buddies of mine.  It's cheaper than the A64 dual core procs, just make sure you get a good cooling system to go with it, to keep it from throttling and lowering it's lifetime expectancy.

    What I will say that favors the Intel, is that the OS will seem a bit smoother when multi-tasking.

    In the end the choice is yours.  ;)

    By the way AMC11890, why do you have that proc underclocked with a 6600GT in your system?  Wouldn't that lead to a worser bottleneck?

    This is my computer. I think it has liquid cooling so maybe that helps?

    Oh and so the pentium D is good for running a lot of programs at the same time? I'm not sure about that. When I open up task manager and I go to processes, is it supposed to have that many things running? And sometimes it says that my CPU usage was 100 percent...how's that possible? last thing...what do you mean by low latency situations?

    i dled this program called JAP and it's supposed to hide your IP address. I installed it and it said I had to use it with my browser in order to go online. it was too much of a hassle so I decided not to use it and uninstalled it. however, now i can't go online at all. it said if i wanted to go online without jap, i have to reset the proxy connections in my browser. How do i do that?

    I have one admin account and one user account with no admin status (i heard that it's better to use a user account with no admin status so that it's harder for viruses to infect your computer...or something like that). Anyway, when i use my user account, I can't print anything. When I use my admin account, it prints fine. What's wrong with my computer?
