I have not done much networking, so could someone please tell me how to network a windows vista system with a ME system to enabe LAN gameplay
Networking a windows ME system with a Vista system.?
Buy a CROSSOVER CABLE, as opposed to a standard Ethernet cable. They look the same but are not wired the same inside the sheathing. Plug it between the two computers in the (8-wire) NIC RJ-45 jacks. The two Windows operating system should see each other immediately. You might still need to configure some settings on one or both machines or in the game programs.
If the machines are farther apart, you can use standard cables plugged into a hub, switch, or router LAN jacks.

Networking Experts what are your Experiences?
Let me give you an example of what I mean.
I've leanrt things about video cards, as from the book, how they work, different types etc. But from my experience, I learnt:
1. Never use onboard video, it's slow and cheap.
2. Always buy good quality video cards from Nvida,Tnt, don't bother with the other guys.
3. I've seen 16mb of video ram, Vs 256mb, makes a difference, you'll notice the speed of the graphics faster.
4. Get AGP video cards, because PCI ones, you'll get lots of conflicts with other pci cards.
5. Get extra fans because video cards increase the temperature.
So you see all my experiences. The books didn't teach me these things. So I'm just starting Networking but I want experiences.e.g. Like you've learnt when forming a star-topology that it's best to .. blabla. Liek you've learnt a quicker way or short cut to forming a network in 5 minutes. Stuff like this.
Thanks
Networking Experts what are your Experiences?
Well all the experience that I had in Networking was my own. I used to disassemble my PC and reassemble them. In this way, I made sure that, I could assemble a PC, no matter its brand.
For the VGA Card and other stuff, you have to be in constant touch with the latest market. I usually go to the computer centers once a week and get to know the latest products. As for one of your suggestions, even AGP Card in old now. the best is the PCI Express Card.
By handling these devices and various stuff yourself, you would learn them easily. And for the books, you cannot get enough knowledge with books because they dont explain to you the practical approach to a problem.
The best thing you can do is to start right now to assemble a PC and trying to study the motherboard structure. Once you get used to it, networking is nothing.
BYE and Best of Luck

Networking question!?
I have all linksys devices for networking my computers around the house to the main computer with the router, %26amp; i just purchased a belkin usb something or other to connect one computer upstairs wirelessly to the main computer, but i can't seem to find a network connection once i installled the belkin usb thing. how can i find it?
Networking question!?
Is your linksys router capable of doing wireless?
If so log in to the router setup and ensure it is enabled.
Is the belkin adapter installed properly, using the cd that came with it or through windows?
Good Luck
Reply:You won't want to hear this, but here goes. I have never been able to make any OEM's stuff work with a different OEM's stuff. The Belkin is not one of my favorite platforms either. I have a Belkin bluetooth device that has never worked on any operating system with any device. Good luck with that.
Reply:Do you have a wireless router or access point? If not you won't connect.
Reply:Did you buy a wireless router?
If so, look under 'My Network Places' in Windows, and click on the side under 'Network connections'
When you find the one that's the Belkin USB you just installed that says wireless ... open that connection and make sure it finds the name of your network ... which is typically the manufacturer of your router if you haven't changed it
Reply:hi,
there must and netw setting conflict. most router will give ip address automatically, and it may cause the trouble when u wanna connect to another netw.
form start, click run, type cmd hit enter
type ipconfig /all in the command prompt and see what u got

Networking |||| suppose if somebody have done mcsa and ccna both is there r lots of chances for job?
suppose if somebody have done mcsa and ccna both is there r lots of chances for jobs or these courses r outdated and tell me what course can give a person a reputed job.....in networking...pls tell in any stream like security of network or design

Reply:| suppose if somebody have done mcsa and ccna both is there r lots of chances for job?
MCSEs and MCSAs are a dime a dozen, and due to the prevalence of boot camps that get people certified by simply memorizing test answers they have become essentially worthless. CCNA certification has a little more value but only for organizations using Cisco equipment which limits your options.
What you are looking for is a skill that will set you apart from the crowd and is important for all businesses. I'd recommend security certifications or project management.

Networking questions?
I am a novice to any networking......
1 - I have installed DSL and I still get the working offline..Connect Retry window...I have already set it that it should look for the broadband connection. how can I stop that? It has gotten alot worse since I have added the ethernet card mentioned below.
2 - I installed the modem using the USB option. I have decided to add a wireless network so I added the ethernet card. Now I can't configure since I have already given the ip address to the DSL modem and can't give to the ethernet connection....how can I fix this?
Networking questions?
Disconnect the USB cable and just use the cat5 network cable. It goes between your ethernet card and the DSL modem. You may need to re-install the software , it controls the behavior of the DSL modem.
Reply:Please provide more information. What is the make/model of your DSL modem and what version of windows are you using? (Windows XP, 2000...?)
You can usually do a factory reset of your modem's configuration by pressing a little button with a paperclip on the back of the modem. If you provide to make and model of the modem I can look it up.
Reply:Most DSL Modems these days are also routers. This will come into play later.
The problem you are getting with "Working Offline" is a problem easily fixed. What you need to do is make sure that your Ethernet Card is installed and working properly, and that it is Enabled in "Network Connections." Also you will need to go into Internet Options and set it to "Never Dial a connection" on the connections tab. Once you have done this Connect your Modem to your Computer using the Modem. Check your ip address now. (Start --%26gt; Run...type in "cmd" press %26lt;enter%26gt;...type in "ipconfig" press %26lt;enter%26gt;) You should get a Valid IP address of something like 192.168.x.x. You will also get a default Gateway similar to your IP Address. In most cases you can type this Gateway into your Web Browser and it will surf into your modem.
A lot of DSL modems store the Connection information within the modem itself, rather than you having to click connect all the time it keeps your connection "Alive" Unfortunatly this gets in the way of your Wireless Router that you are planning to use with it. You will need to get with your ISP and find out if your connection is a PPPoE, or Bridged Ethernet. Most of the time it is a PPPoE conneciton. Have your ISP Tech Support Guide you through setting your modem into "Bridged Mode"
Most ISPs will not assist you insetting your router up correctly as it is not their hardware to support, and will refer you to the router manufacturer, who will refer you to your ISP...a major loop that i can't let you get into.
The next step is to Take your Ethernet cord out of the back of your computer, and plug it into the "Internet" Port on your router. Now...get another ethernet cord (usually supplied with the router) and run it from port 1 on the router, to the back of your computer. Your computer should get a new IP address, and a New Default Gateway. Type the defualt gateway into the Address bar of your web browser and surf to it...*note some routers will ask for a username and a password...input the default information specified in the manual provided with the router*
Once you have made it to this point you are almost home. Find the section within the router's configuration page that pertains to connection type. If your connection is PPPoE you will change it from something like "Obtain IP Automatically" to "PPPoE". You will see a place for your ISP's information (username and password) Save the settings on this page once you have input this information....it should be set....Open up another session of your browser...and see if it connects to your home page. If so...you are there. If not...then doublecheck your login information...you may have to call into your ISP to make sure that you don't have to add the domain name to the end of your username or anything.
Have Fun and good luck

Networking event?
An accounting company invited me to attend its networking event next week. we are probably going to have a dinner, then to see a baseball game. i really want to take this opportunity to know some key people inside the company and also to get an internship or job.
however, i never attended any networking events before; so i have been wondering what should i say and do would be appropriate during the dinner and the baseball game?
thank you in advance
ps. i just graduated this past May with my BS in accounting.
Networking event?
At a networking event you should dress semi-professional; at least wear clean pants and probably a polo but maybe not sneakers. This varies by location and industry but could also be relaxed for a sporting event. You could probably ask for clarification if you want to make sure your attire fits the crowd.
Networking is a great way to get to know potential customers and employers, so you should be friendly and open, but not drunk and disorderly. In a way it is an opportunity for them to interview you, evaluate your soft skills and see what it would be like to work with you. Even though it might be a great story, keep that in mind before going into excessive details about how you hooked up at the last frat party you went to as you could offend somebody who would have influence over weather or not you would be hired.
You should try to meet as many people as possible, and at least act interested before politely excusing yourself (food, bathroom, phone calls, etc. make good cover for this) if you are not interested a certain topic or conversation line. This is a great opportunity for you to find out what the company is like to work for, a what they are really looking for. Should you land an interview, you will then be that much more prepared. I would suggest preparing some brief questions and having a short 15~30 second introduction if you really want to impress them. You can get some question ideas if you search for "informational interviews" on most career sites or google. Let them know why you want to work there, let them see what a great person you are and the rest should follow.
The bottom line is keep it positive, be friendly and approachable, and you shouldn't have any problems.
Best Wishes,
Matt
Reply:First and foremost accept my hearty congratulations on your graduation.
Attending a networking event is not a problem but an opportunity to sell yourself positively to the world.
Just appear at the event in a cool and descent outfit but not too flamboyant style.
Exchange pleasantries in a well calculated and confident manner. Be a good listener and knowledge seeker than lousy type.
Show your stuff as an enlightened, knowledgeable and fresher from graduating school. Your knowledge of accounting profession will always put you on edge above others if well utilised.

Networking Images?
Hi there,
I need images for using on a networking website.
Like Routes, Servers, Switches, Cables, Hardware, VPN, VOIP and Networking diagrams.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

If you need generic networking images for Cisco gear, they have free Visio stencils for example. I'm sure you can find similar stuff elsewhere... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod...
