I don't understand a word of this!
Comments (8)Sounds like you already have internet working but your mail settings are off a notch... Perhaps look here.. Open Outlook Express Click on the menu item Tools, then select Accounts Click on the Mail tab if not already selected. Highlight MSN which hopefully is marked default. Click on Properties button. Click on the tab for Connections Now you should see a drop down box, change it to say dial up modem or something similar as apparetnly its trying to use a Network Connection which the norm if you have a high speed connection like dsl or cable. Think you need that box to say use the dial up modem. Hopefully thats the simple fix....See MoreConnecting DSL to Ethernet Home Network??
Comments (2)mikie, Thanks, I'll take a look at the fourms you sent. The modem could be a "hub", it does connect the Internet (via DSL) to the Ethernet, but that's it, there are no other posts. My router has 4 Ethernet channels one 802.11 WiFi channel and a "modem" channel/input. I'll look to see if I can find anything on "bridge mode", that's new to me. While typing I noticed my manual for my router on the floor, must have been looking at in in the past year (have a hard time putting things away). I shows doing exactly what I wanted, but does seem to suggest a power/down/up on the route (Microsoft MN-700 Wireless Base Station), I'll try that before going to the web for more help. The unit also has a setup CD, I need too look further into that too. I had the unit working as a "hub" to interconnect three computers in the house, and it worked. I don't remember if I ever ran the setup CD....See MoreWin sp3 wants to update twice??
Comments (2)XP SP3 is just under 350 megs in size. If you are into working on computers even in a modest way you should download SP3 and burn it to a CD for any future needs, I keep 2 copies in case one gets damaged and blank CDs cost mere pennies. You should have installed it first then gone looking for updates because many of the SP2 updates would be included in the SP3 file. After installing SP3 you should expect a minimum of 127 updates - that was the number I had when working on an XP macine a little while back. If I remember correctly the option to update to IE8 was offered after the updates were done....See MoreNeed help with home networking
Comments (4)I've had major problems staying connected to Wi-Fi in my home DSL network modem. At one point I've moved my DSL modem to upstairs to make networking work better and it turned out not to be so since I have multiple connections. Network constantly disconnect: DirecTV/Cell Phone(s)/Computer(s) and Wii Console. One Router should do the trick by keeping the ISP modem downstairs and the Router upstairs using the Ethernet 1 cat5 connection in the most central location in the upper part of home nearest most used room / window to your backyard. Set up Guest Access through your ISP Gateway. Split up and divide your home network between the ISP modem, Guest Access and Router. By doing this, your ISP Modem will not be over burden causing disconnection to your Home Network. I've been fighting with my Frontier Communication ISP for several months and finally got everything working after Linksys or Netgear Router was reinstalled. Keep it simple! ISP Modem (SSID "user name") *Toshiba* Guest Access (SSID "Separate user name + Password") *Toshiba Guest* Router (SSID "your user name + number") *Toshiba2* Reset all connections in your home: You should see all your Networking Connections (Toshiba, Toshiba Guest and Toshiba2) TV's on Modem according to location in home. PC on Router connection or modem location. Cell Phones on Guests connection. By doing this, your connectivity should improve! Good luck, Larry....See Moresail_away
