Hi guys ,
I just bought a router .... since i am really new in this area ...i need some help here to config my router setting. My router is from Linksys..... right now all my client pc can online .... i need some help on advance setting ....like allow icq to send and receive files.
Netmeeting ...... ftpserver ....online games setting. Pls give me some advice on this...... or if you do have any webside regarding this , pls let me know ...thanks million!
 
i have another problem...... all pcs in the network right now couldnt see each other.... can someone help me on this ? thanks
 
There are a ton of questions I have, but I will see if I can throw some things out to help you.

In ICQ, set up your connection settings so you have a firewall. You should then be able to send files via ICQ. However, as for game settings, I just set up the DMZ host so it matches my system I want to play games from. Just put in the IP address of that system in the DMZ host.

As for why your computers can't see each other on the network, make sure all the systems are in the same workgroup and all have Microsoft Networking, TCP/IP, and File and Printer Sharing (if you need it). If you are running DHCP that is.

If you have static addresses, then you will need to set up the IP addresses so they are in the same block....I assume you know how to do that.

Need more info if this doesn't help so we can help you better.
 
As far as the port forwarding that you need to set up to get your applications to work right, head over to Practically Networked. There is a lot of information at that site that should help you solve most of your problems and get things working.

HTH 😀

well i still couldnt solve the network problem ..... all pcs still couldnt see each other ......

in Linksys setup page..... i setup the hostname, thats all i do. Do i require domin name for that ? i am a @ home user. Everything is DHCP ... all client pcs is automatically assign IP from Linkisys .... no dns and no gateway setting. DO i have to set gateway and DNS ? I try to set it once ... but no luck.
 
If you have static addresses, then you will need to set up the IP addresses so they are in the same block....I assume you know how to do that

Educate yourself, and life will be much easy!

Read the following links:

The Basic Options to Share Internet Connection (Internet Sharing 101).

Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...?

A Basic primers to SetUp a Network here:

FS Guide to Windows Networking

Sharing:
Assuming that your hardware is functioning, and you are using the correct type of CAT5 cables.

All computers can have one, two, or three, of the following Network Protocols:

1. TCP/IP - must be installed for Internet
2. NetBEUI ? simple, no IP scheme, Internet safe (recommended as Default Protocol).
3. IPX/PX ? needed for some LAN games.

The three can reside together BUT - All computers must have the same Default Protocol..

All used Protocols are bound to the Ethernet Card.

All computers have the same Workgroup name.

Each computer has it own unique name.

Read this for Win 2000: Sharing Files/Printers between WinNT/Win2K


The following is the Sharing Setting in Win98!!!

You will not see a Computer in the Network Neighborhood, unless it shares something.

Make sure that you Logon as Client for Microsoft Network.

There are three places to be checked for sharing:

The first two are in Control Panel, Network.

1. The Protocol that you are using for sharing, has to be bound to Client for Microsoft Network, and Sharing is Checked in the protocol's properties menu.

2. The general File and Print Sharing has to be installed, and checked.

The third in "My Computer" folder.

3. Individual Drive or/and printer has to be checked for sharing.
Right click on the device to share, choose properties, click on the sharing Tab, check Shared As, and give it a name.

For printer:

Click My Computer, click on Printers, right click on the printer that you want to share, click on Properties, choose the Sharing tab, checked share, give it a name.


Important: The Shared Printer Drivers has to be installed on all computers that use this printer.
