I have had my network running for a couple years without problems. I'm using Comcast Business Class broadband with a static IP and a Linksys E3000 router for a home business network. Four wired computers and the rest are wireless for a total of (22) nodes. All set up with static IPs.
Over the weekend I tried to add a wireless security camera and part of the installation required accessing my router. When I attempted to login to the router I found my password access no longer worked. I ended up having to do a factory default restore. I have printouts of my original setting so I recreated the original settings for my WAN side and LAN side, set up for static and set the range for DHCP IP's. Two of the wired computers are working as they should, the wireless seem to be working. Two wired computers are not.
The problem is.....When I set up the IP configuration as static in my main computer and close the system manager the computer sees the network and internet for about 30 to 60 seconds and then drops the default gateway IP address. Go back in and check the settings and the gateway address field is blank, all the rest of the settings are intact. Repeat, good for 30 to 60 and goes blank again. Checked ipconfig/all, did the ipconfig/release, uninstalled the network card and let the system reinstall, same problem. Tried giving up on static setting for the moment and thought the system was working but then is started dropping the internet and network again. I'm running ot of options.
The two computers that DON'T work are my main server that runs the accounting software that is synced with the internet ecommerce website and the shipping department funning UPS Worldship and Quantum view. Without these two computers I'm out of business! I have orders to fill and can't! The only other think I can think of is I used Cisco Connect to do the initial configuration for the router and ran it from the main computer. Wondering if is set something in the registry that is trying to override the static setting?
Even a friend of mine that is in charge of network IT has been unsuccessful with this.

It comes with a ReadyShare USB to Network device portal which allows me to hook up a USB HDD and use it as a network drive. The speeds aren't all that fast, but, for my current purposes it suits just fine.

My problem is that I shut down my computer about 3-4 days ago and it installed some updates. Since then, I have not been able to see my ReadyShare HDD in the Network map. Previously I had access to it on my Windows 7 system (64 bit). Thing is, the ReadyShare HDD is working just fine because my 32-bit Vista Laptop can see it right now.

I can connect to it with my laptop but my wife can't with her iPhone. Since I leave my laptop in our bedroom, I thought I'd try to set it up as a Wi-Fi access point, then she can connect to the internet though my laptop.

Currently I have my laptop configured as a hosted network, but the "wireless network connection 2" says I don't have internet access. When I check off the box in properties>sharing, that says "allow other network users to connect to through this computers internet connection", I lose MY wireless connection.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a write-up on this? Is what I'm trying to do impossible?

FWIW, I'm running Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio laptop with an Atheros AR9285 network adapter.

Since two days ago I simply can't connect with my home wifi network, or the connection is lost after 20 minutes or so and from that time my home network doesn't even appear in the avaliable networks list... (Ethernet connection is working fine.) I have nothing changed in my laptop that could interfere with wifi connection. I have another laptop and mobile phone that have no problem at all connecting with the same wifi network.

I tried to reset/power off the router, this didn't solve the problem. Tried to update and uninstall/reinstall the drivers (WIFI card: Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN), but still without resolving the problem.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I'm new here on the forum, so I'll introduce you.
I'm 14, I live in Belo Horizonte, play dota for some time, and also quite like computing the influence of my brother who is technical.
Anyway, my problem is the following:

I formatted the computer a client of mine (arrived at by saying yes)
So far so good, he wore xp, told me to install 7 ok, I installed everything properly formatted, that's when I came across the INTERNET was not working (he said he had no driver for the network card) that's where I ask your help because I am fighting a BATTLE MILLENARY since Tuesday with this driver.

The name of it is the motherboard: Intel ® Desktop Board D201GLY2A
I went to the Intel website, I tried to find the driver got, bad was giving the following problem after the installation ended'' Fail to instal drivers''
The other day I went home, downloaded the AIDA64 and saw what devices were'' unknown'' to lower them, and this list was the unknown driver WELL SAID, andnot got his name: SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
So I downloaded the driver, installed and gave the same problem'' Fail to instal drivers''
I thought it was some compatibility issue, I went into device manager, uninstalled the ethernet driver, installed and restarted the pc kept giving the same problem, no network signal. I looked on a few forums and found nothing similar to my problem, or any file that actually worked, and I know not what i do, if it continues I will have to find a way to download the win xp to install it on his PC, I went there today and could not solve the problem again, he told me to go back Monday so I'm asking for your help, if you're someone with a similar problem, or have had that can give me a help.
Ah, do not know the right settings pc bad it is practically so here

Autoconnect when traveling? http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/91670-proxy-server-home-autoconnect-when-traveling.html Sat, 25 May 2013 03:32:20 GMT I recently read an article on using a Raspberry Pi as a proxy server. The article talked about using my laptop on a public WiFi and how that's not secure (which is why I don't use public WiFi for anything that requires security such as banking etc).

The article talked about setting up an SSH tunnel from the laptop to your RasPi (which is at home and you'd have a DynDNS account pointing to the house).

This sounds like something that I'd definitely like to do as it would certainly be nice to be able to do my banking when at the hotel. Same for letting Quicken 2013 sync to their cloud service.

So the first question now: Is it possible to open a tunnel that routes ALL internet traffic through the tunnel regardless of which port(s) are destined? For example, I don't know what port quicken uses.

And the second Q: is it possible to set it up so that the laptop will automatically open the tunnel if the current WiFi connection is NOT the home network? ]]> Windows 7 Networking doni49 http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/91670-proxy-server-home-autoconnect-when-traveling.html Cannot connect to WinXP file share folder http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/91647-cannot-connect-winxp-file-share-folder.html Fri, 24 May 2013 00:41:19 GMT Windows 7 does not prompt me for a username/password for a directroy I am sharing on an XP computer. ...yet if I try to connect to a fellow Windows...

Anytime I go to stream a file from it, it may play for 1-5 minutes then dies and the program playing it, wmp or vlc, locks up and I have to kill it from the task manager. It'll play files from another computer just fine and my laptop and sister's desktops play the files from the linux server no problem. I generally play 480 and 720p files but I know it'll handle 1080p video. I also booted a linux live cd on the desktop to narrow the problem down to software or hardware and it also played the same files without a hiccup so that tells me something is wrong with windows.

I've also updated the nic drivers but that didn't help. I'm on the verge of wiping windows and starting over if I can't avoid it. I started noticing the problem last sunday morning when I attempted to play a 720p vid from national geographics. It played for 5 minutes then the connection just drops and occasionally, other network activity on the system would stop too but it's mostly isolated with my server. I don't know what else to do short of reinstall. The desktop has been completely updated.

Problem is, I'm getting a lot of choppy play watching them even at 480p which is definitely not as ideal as 720p where I get the clearest quality.

I was almost certain the problem was my internet connection. I have to use Comcast, which sucks, but I tried upgrading my package to 50/10 dl/up and it really didn't make a difference. I've tried having less tabs open with only marginal success.

I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop. The laptop is nearly 6 years old and is definitely limping along a bit now so I figured maybe system performance is an issue. However, while the problem occurs on the laptop more frequently (I watch more streams on my laptop) it still happens on my Desktop which, while not top-of-the-line, is more than capable of handling live streams.

Desktop specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Athlon II x4 620 @ 2.6 GHz
4.00 GB DDR2
Radeon HD 5700 series with 1.00 GB built-in memory
System network adapter
Realtek RTL8168D.8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet

Laptop specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 @1.80 GHz
4.00 GB DDR2
System graphics
Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
System network adapter
Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet
Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g WLAN

My modem is a Motorola Surfboard SB6121

My router is a Netgear WNDR3700 v4
to my knowledge I haven't adjusted any settings on it.

I just want to be able to consistently watch live streams consistently at 720p, but right now I can't do that consistently at all.

Oh, I also use Firefox 20.0.1 ]]> Windows 7 Networking Chamenas http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/91497-help-choppy-live-stream-issues.html
