You must create fires RJ45 Cross Line cable



1.Start My Network Place



2.Click on Set up a home or small office network



3.Click Next



4.Click Next



5.click on 2nd Tab (This computer connects to the internet a residential gateway or through another computer on my network



6.Give this computer a description and name



7.give Workgroup name (Ex. Home)



8.Enable File and Printer Sharing



9.click Next



10.Now on screen appearing Animation



11.click 4th tab



12.finish
In the network through control panel, you can set up a small office/home network. Or go into system and set the same workgroup name with different computer names. These have to be done on both computers. Through my computer, you will need to set up shares on the drives and the folders. The Cat5 cable must be a cross-over not a straight through. When the ends are compared, the orange and green pairs will be reversed. Help menu will guide you on how to set everything.
a reg cable wont work

or a switch



or better yet a router.



unless you get 2 wireless nicks



then you can set up an adhoc network.

Computers and Laptops?

Do laptops and desktop computers use different kinds of processors?



Computers and Laptops?ktm



Well some do and some don't. Laptops often come with the Mobile versions which run with reduced heat and power consumption. Other laptops simply use the regular processors. It basically all depends on the laptop manufacturer. Most of the major ones are using the lower power mobile processors for longer battery life these days.

Most laptops use special "mobile" versions of their big brother counter-parts. They are designed to use less power, since a laptop runs off a battery. There are a few laptops that use regular desktop PC CPUs. Sadly though, 98% of the time, the CPU in a laptop (mobile or otherwise) is soldered directly to the motherboard so it is not removable / changable.

Computers for the masses. The inexpensive PC initiatives. Creative ways of getting the poor and the uneducated to use PCs.

Something like the $100 laptop project? Well Bill Gates didn't like it, probably because it does not generate money for him XD



I think manefacturing inexpensive PC is not something impossible, technology in Computers World get cheaper every 6 months, we can use a sempron package with 256mb of ram and the cheapest HD available (20GB?) and get a free OS (Linux) and free office suite ( OpenOffice ) and that's that!

Not a bad idea since everything is going to computers. I think having them in schools and libraries is a good start.

Wiring couple of computers to a wired router. Will it affect speed?

I have a high speed cable internet. I'm planning to buy a wired(not wireless) router so that I can connect it to 2 desk tops and occcasionally to a laptop.



I probably won't use the computers at the same time but wants the desk top connected to a single cable internet via a wired router. Mainly so that I don't have to hook and unhook it. Will there be any issues with it?



Will it slow down speed? Can it work that way? I'll be the only user. I'm eventually going to get a wireless but can't do it due to technical issues.



I appreciate any advise from you computer geniuses.



p.s. Where do I buy a connector "wire" for this. Will radio shack have it. I already have the router.



Thanks,



Johnny B.



Wiring couple of computers to a wired router. Will it affect speed?liveupdate



You won't see any performance loss at all, and here is why.



Your high speed modem talks to the internet at 1MPS or 2MPS speed, while your router talks at 10 or 100 MPS. This means that your network is MUCH faster than the outside connection. You can share drives, share printers and other stuff within your network. But also, when one computer is at one website, and the other computer is at another, the internet messages easily overlap without delay on the internet. Even if two computers are downloading some really big files, you might not notice it slow down.

If I use two different computers and have IM on both, do I have to request friends to be added on each computer or will my friends list show on each computer after being added to one?

They will show on both computers being added to only one, your contacts are saved on Yahoo servers not your computer

no since its connected to the internet it'll be saved on any computer you sign onto.

Im wanting to hook two computers in my house together but only on one cable modem.?

Im wanting to connect two computers in the same house, but in different rooms on the internet. One computer is on a cable modem for the net, so what exactly do I need for the other computer to run off that same modem?

a router you could run a cable or go wireless

You'll need a switch/ruter to plug the cable modem into and cables going into computers. You might have a need for proxy software to share connection
If you do not have multiple ethernet ports, or a wireless cablemodem, and you don't want to buy any more equipment, you can't.



But, it is possible that they gave you a USB cable modem, in which case, you could possibly split it with a USB hub.



Getting a router would be the simplest way.
A router.
check your modem first, if there is an extra port for an ethernet cable or if there are antennas. if there is an extra port just buy another ethernet cable long enough for the other PC. if you see and antenna, then purchase a USB wireless adapter for the other PC. if you dont see neither, but a router.

Computers worth?mcaffee



This is still a fairly good computer for web surfing, would be minimum for light gaming in today's world.



The pentium 4 processor with 2.4Ghz is still good chip:



$65 Intel Pentium 4 2.4B Northwood 2.4GHz



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



1GB of ram should be enough to run any programs at this time, yours got to be DDR ram which is still fast memory:



$47 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



Having a 160GB HD is still quite a big drive:



$49 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



Microsoft XP Home is still common today:



$90 Microsoft Windows XP Home



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...



Your videocard is outdated, but would be nearly as good as this:
