My Wireless Connection isn't working!

This has nothing to do with installing a new router. XP cannot configure your wireless adapter because some other software is doing it. Use that software to configure it to connect to your new router.

Windows Boot Woes

Adding the other boot entry to the boot disc allows me to boot that install. After I replaced hal.dll it wants me to reinstall all my devices :(. But why can't I boot from the hard drive? Why do I have to use a boot disc?

Windows Boot Woes

I recently wiped out my C:\ partition. Apparently, this is where my two different windows installs (F: and H:) were looking for boot information. Thus, I cannot boot after deleting this partition. I have copied ntldr, ntdetect.com, and my old boot.ini to the root of all my partitions. I...

Wifi Internet down, but AIM and my network still works>:o

Sounds to me like connections which are already established are staying connected, and cached DNS entries are able to resolve, while new DNS requests fail to resolve because your DNS servers could not be contacted. Investigate DNS settings. Ping DNS servers.

External Drive connected to two systems?

Actually, text files are formatted different on Macs and PCs, so in effect, they are the ONLY thing that would have problems. :) You could also create a network directly between the 2 computers in the same room with a crossover cable, or a regular ethernet cable if one of the computers can...

installing linux without a cd?

They are entirely possible. You can boot off floppies to do this, but you have to hunt down the floppies, and it is probably very slow. What I do is boot off of the FC4 repair CD, then point it to a network install kickstart file. Doing a full install over the internet... takes about as long...

Getting a computer or TV to "turn itself on"

Wake on LAN would require only a BIOS setting on the computer and network access. You can also set the computer to reboot after power failure, and then rig the computer to lose power and regain power. If the computer is off when this happens, it should turn on. For a TV, you can get a...

Others can't pick up your signal? Encrypt your router. Read the router manual for step by step instructions.

Very simple network issue, probably with Sygate!

Verify they are on the same workgroup. Verify they are on the same subnet. Verify both have firewalls disabled or ports open for file sharing. Try using \\whatever.computer.ip.adddr\folder instead.

How can I give one xp pro computer account permissions on another xp pro machine?

You can try adding MACHINE_NAME\Username to the permissions for the folder you want to grant access to. Though, that's more of a domain thing.
