    Bigger and stronger antenna for 802.11b router...

    in Networks and the Internet

    Posted

    Congrats on the new setup..

    First the one thing that you want to understand is that at the frequency that you wireless is running is what they call "line of site". Of course this meaning if you can see it you can talk to it. This in theory works well. But I would think that in your case with the router in the basement and knowing the way antennas work you have most of your home in the blind spot of the antennas. I would think that the best thing you can do is to move the router say to a shelf in a closet as close to the center of the house as you can. This would put the router in the path of the areas needing to be accessed the most. The cost of doing this would be what ever it takes to get the router to the proper location.

    Trying to install new antennas to work correctly at the frequency being used by the router is another science in it's self......

    This has happened to me before. If I remember correctly the internal connection has the IP address from the DHCP in the router and the local area connection has an internal IP address. What I did to get rid of the internal connection is manually configure the local area connection with the address from the router. After doing that the internal connection disappeared.

    XP installs - not all created equal?

    I would suggest that you get the one with the buckles instead of tying. The bucks are easier for someone to put on you... :rolleyes:

    I have noticed what you are saying. For me it is to the point that if I can get things to run smoothly I will live with it. I had a very smooth running system and for some odd reason deiced to do a clean install and it has taken me 3 months to get things almost as good as they were....

    Win2k server routing

    This might help. Server Watch

    Windows 2000 Server also includes another solution similar to ICS but more robust, in the form of the Network Address Translation protocol in Routing and Remote Access. While it basically consists of the same functional elements as ICS (and works in a very similar manner), NAT has some additional features that may make it a better fit than ICS in some environments.

    If you have 5 minutes would you please check out my site and tell me what you think of the design. It is pretty basic as I am just getting started. Basically what I want to know is:

    1] is it to plain?

    2] would you come back?

    3] how professional does it look?

    Thank for the help..

    Dual Network Cards

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    I have had mine set up with 2 NIC's and both were on different LAN's. To say have the N1 connected to Internet and N2 connected to the second LAN that has 3 other PC's on it. Now all I do is make a bridge connection on the computer running the 2 NICs and I can now access the internet across the bridge from N2 computers.
