Thread: Making the BSNL DataOne Wireless home network guide

well DHCP server is enabled cant seem to figure out what the problem is i ran file and printer sharing on both the pcs still not being able to recognise either pc's cant seem to figure out what the problem is.i have setup acording to your guide and as i said it was working fine.after u reinstalled evreything on my desktop all this started.hope you can help me out.i can browse the internet on both the machines without any problems.its just that noth the machines are not being seen in the network place or workgroup computers.

go to the second pc.... and type ipconfig in command prompt...you will find an ip address like 192.168.1.x .. note it down.. go to the first pc.. go to command prompt and type ping 192.168.1.x(which is the ip you noted).. and post results here...

Dude chk out if u have enabled sharing on ur drives.... If therz nothing to be shared itz obvious u cant cant access anything... ck that first....

even if nothing is shared.. in windows -printers and user's shared documents are shared on the network by default.. and you should be able to access the shared computer by typing \\(ip of computer or computername)

ok.. thatz rite... if ur problem isin`t solved yet...plz chk out the attached devices in the router`s webpage. both the machines must be listed... therz no other procedure aprt frm this u shd be able to access ur machines... just chk out u have ur hardware working properly !

Guys i gt a good news fr ll users who use LINKSYS Routers...now in india dey have deir support 24*7...u can call on a toll free number that is 1 800 425 5797 so just cal dey r just a call away and all the TECH reps over dere r so qualified....u wont believe trust me

Looks like we all need a few English classes..

There is 0% loss on ping.Now on my Xp pc the vista pc shows but on vista pc the xp pc is not showing up.Can't seem to figure out what the problem is.Tried evrything said here.And on the routers web page bit teh machines are connected

there is something called network discovery in windows vista maybe you have to turn that on

Even That is turned on.Its seems so strange .

hello,
im using a wa1003a modem and i couldnt connect it to my n81 mobile. Can anybody please help me sorting out this?? And please tell me how to configure the settings from the beginning!!
thnx...........
manvir

by default vista uses IPv6 for TCP/IP properties change it to IPv4 to connect to a XP PC.

more info please.. are you using ppoe mode or bridged mode?make sure DHCP is turned on..

im using a pppoe mode and it shows that "Assigned by DHCP"

ok .. so the ppoe mode part is correct.. now login to your modem's settings (http://192.168.1.1) .. there look for a DHCP option. and tell whether DHCP is switched ON in the modem or not.. if your not sure.. post a screenshot of that page

the DHCP thing is on...can we move further?
thnx...

Hi,
Me and some friends are going to share an ADSL connection. I will use a modem and Netgear router WPN824. All users will be connected to this wireless router. How can I made a setup to monitor or limit internet data usage at router side, not on users pc? Is this possible?

You can limit bandwidth for users conected to the router..... refer to ur admin area of the router...

Hi,
I don't have the router as of now. In the router manual, there is no option specified to limit the bandwidth. What are the other workarounds???
I will purchase the router if everything goes fine.

you can restrict certain users to selected ports only like 80 for web traffic to stop torrents.also you can stop users from connecting to net altogether only allowing the wifi network.you can also set your router to disconnect & then reconnect at fixed intervals of say 3 min.so that they won't be able to download from sites like rapidshare.you can also block sites like rapidshare in the router's firewall.

or you could setup one computer as gateway.. and enable ICS .. then there are plenty of software available to control users bandwidth,usage etc etc

Yes, that I know, but we all have laptops. We don't have a dedicated pc. It will be sufficient, if I am only able to monitor the data transfer by each wireless user. I don't have any need to block access to any perticular site/software.

is this what you mean Network traffic monitor

Thanks, this tool is great. But I have a doubt. I have a laptop, I am not always connected to the same network which I want to monitor. Everybody has different timings for connecting to the network. How can this tool help me out?
As I want to monitor data transfer of all users, whether I am connected or not. Can I do something at router level?

first of all tell us which router are you planning to buy because what you are asking only depends on router & different routers have different functions.
