I'm helping a friend set up his new desktop PC and old laptop, both with Windows 7 Home. Laptop is for his wife to use for email, games and internet, desktop is his and is the main PC.
On the desktop we've set up just the one account, as an administrator. On the laptop we've set up 2 accounts -...
I have an oldish Laser printer which is thoroughly reliable and prefect for my needs - Samsung ML-2152w
It's fine using a USB cable and works lovely, but it's a big old lump and I'd like it tucked away somewhere and wish to utilise it's wireless capabilities.
Before I get it wireless I need to...
Hi all
Bit of a weird question here following some lively banter in my local.
From a "legal" standpoint (ish), what is the score with stuff posted on social networking sites?
For example, "my boss is a ******, I want to leave" etc, and what about pictures taken which involve...
Now I don't use forums very much at all, but it strikes me that it's a good opportunity for business networking?
Is it frowned upon and is that the reason there isn't a sub forum for this purpose? :dk:
Just upgraded the computer... Set everything up and I can see other computers and printers... they cannot see me however...
HELP! I hate networking... I have this problem everytime we get a new computer in the office!
I have set it as a "workplace" network.
Here's a good Friday afternoon problem...
Mrs E has got a new laptop with Windows 7. Our main machine is XP. We have been able to see the XP machine from the W7 machine (she's been able to pull music and work files across) but it's recently stopped. Fed up with the moaning I've had a look...

Hi all

About a year back, the guys at PCW advised me that a Belkin network hub was the way to go to be able to access archived data or use the printer off...

Hi guys
I run a home wireless network with 3 pc's. One mine, 2nd my laptop, 3rd daughters pc.
What I really want to set up/do is to have my pc and laptop interlinked so that whenever i do something on my pc it automatically replicates to the laptop and vice versa. Specifically, I will need...
My current IT infrastructure is creaking horribly..
Could any IT peeps give me a ballpark budget cost for setting up a 5 pc file sharing network with back up and a couple of laptops.
Thoughts much appreciated.
TIA

Additional option to wired or wireless network -
I needed network access in the lounge, already got wireless but needed hard wired which is pretty much impractical in this room.
Had held off getting one of these internet over power devices because wasn't sure how successful it would be...
This is a strange one and I would be gratefulfor any help.
The strangest thing is this whole outfit was working OK and has just started playing up and I cannot determine what precipitated the change.
At the heart of the network is a Linksys 160N router/modem. To keep it simple I will...
Basically bought one decent printer for the office... it runs off my XP pc primarily.. managed to get my dads pc (XP) to print through it over our broadband router network but cannot get another pc to work the same... This one has Vista.
Any ideas? It just does not see anything on the network.
Alright, so what I've got at home, is 4 PC's, all networked up via Ethernet and a Netgear hub, set IP Address and ICS, with the Internet Connection on a Server PC in the games room. It's all been working Hunky Dory until the 25th August when my mum came home after 2-3 weeks away since the 5th...
