I have a dial up connection to tiscali but I am aunable to connect at the moment as I believe there is an issue with a persistent Proxy setting that does not allow me to connect to the internet. I have installed Spyware and removed anything unwanted but the setting is still around even when I...

Thanks for the feedback, I will try this solution which looks to be the answer. Thanks Tony

Thanks guys, I will try your suggestions over the next few days

Anton, Have you got this resolved yet as I have just completed a Home network and it works fine so I could give you a breakdown of what I did. Tony

I have setup shared printing on a dedicated PC and when I I setup the printers on the other equipment (all running Windows XP) there are also Auto printers of the same printer share name and the ones configured, for example: \\server\HPd135 and then there will be another that contains Auto...

I have a HP Laserjet 5m printer with an internal JetDirect card and I am trying to configure it onto my network by connecting the printer directly to my wired router. I have spoken to Linksys, the manufacturer of my router and they have suggested to configure the printer to use the following...

I have tried deleting and re-installing the printers several times but they all end up having some printer problems. Can you allocate an IP address to a USB connected device? Didn't think you could but I might be wrong.

I have three laptops, 1 PC and another PC that serves as the main data repository (server) all connected to a Linksys 4 port Wireless router. They all can communicate with each other, they can all see the shared data drive and they can all see the two printers I have shared from the 1 PC. When...

Has anyone tried to setup 2 PCs to the internet using a Linksys DSL Router with 4 ports (BEFSR41) through NTL's settop box on a Windows XP Home Edition OS. I Router is configured as it has its own IP address and NTL can see the router and one of the PCs I have connected to the Router but the PC...

I may be going a bit crazy here but a friend of mine has just had a replacement 10GB drive delivered to him from Dell and he asked for my help to install it which I started via telephone. To start off with I asked him to insert the boot disk that came with his Dell PC which he did and we...
