I just purchased a inno3D Tornado Gforce 3 TI200 to replace my kyro pro II. However, when I installed the Gforce 3, I had to bring the PIII 750 down to 800Mhz to get it to work with games. With the Kyro II, I could get the CPU to 900Mhz. I tried all the NVIDA drivers with the same result. I was...

You guys just don't understand. Simply put, NetBIOS on your LAN is great. NetBIOS on your WAN (or across your Internet connection), however, is a security risk of incredible proportions. All sorts of information, such as your domain, workgroup and system names, as well as account information...

You need to open up the ports on the router to your computer. I don't know what ports are , but if you go to the game vendor's web site, they usually will list the ports that you ned to open for thier particular game. Hope this helps

I have WinXP and cable modem with d-link router. I have no problems with IPX on the LAN or TCP/IP for hosting batlenet games. The only thing I have to do is open the ports on my router to host Battlenet games. The LAN uses IPX however, and I have had no problems playing on my LAN with WinXP...

Let me try and clarify on the NetBEUI security issue. Each network interface card (NIC) has protocols bound to it in Windows. By default, all installed protocols, such as TCP/IP, are bound to all NICs. It is unnecessary, even dangerous, to have NetBEUI/NetBIOS bound to the Internet interface...

I had the same problem. I had to disable the other network adaptor that I wasn't using. Now I can join in LAN multiplayer games using IPX/SPX. Ron

If any of the computers on your LAN have internet access, then the problem is not with the modem. Try setting the Win200 box up with static ip addresses. Make sure that they are on the same subnet as the router (gateway). Set your DNS ip addresses up manually in TCP/IP properties. The problem is...

Just configure the router to dynamic ip for the WAN and DHCP for the LAN. Go to bed and it will be running when your wake up in the morning. Most DHCP servers will lease the ip address to the specific mac address for four hours. Once it is released, it will dynamically assign the ip address to...

To share resources from within Windows 2000/XP, you need to create user accounts on the other computer so you can access it's resources. It may also have something to do with having Windows XP home addition. I have Windows XP pro ad have no problems accessing files on my Win2000 box and vise a...

Here are a few things you can try: 1. See if you can ping your gateway (your router). If you can't ping your gateway, then the problem is on the LAN side. If you can ping gateway, then try and ping past the gateway. If you cant ping past the gateway, then move on the steps 2 & 3. 2. Set your...
