    - Increasing the UDP-buffer Hello together, I have a problem with my UDP-connection. I want to create a UDP-connection via an Gigabit-Ethernet-cable. For that purpose I tested the UDP-performance between two WinXP-systems with netperf, iperf and a self-made test-utility. The problem is: I got only 150 to 170Mbit with UDP but 420MBit with TCP. How is that possible? Could this cause by a low value of a UDP-buffer. At any Unix-system it's possible to adapt this value: http://www.29west.com/docs/THPM/udp-buffer-sizing.html How can I do this on a WindowsXP-system? By the way: while my testings the CPU-usage was at approximately 55% (if taskmanager works properly) so I don't think that the performance is the bottleneck. Can anybody help me? thank you Sincerely pugs Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286909

    - Troubleshooting scan shows failure with Ethernet card, please help Hello. My pc runs XP (pro) media edition. Display has all nvidia, including ethernet card, IDE drivers, etc. I have been unable to FAX successfully from my computer as I used to, and unable to view the status of my connections, which I also used to be able to view. A few months ago I had multiple trojans, and spyware, even with the programs to combat these on my computer. I have worked very hard to clean this up, and now my pc is running very well other than the networking issues. Last night I ran a diagnostic networking scan, which showed failure with the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Card. I am going to try to attach the scan results, in the hope that someone will be able to help me figure out how to correct the above issues before I lose my mind. Although there are several generic modems listed below, I have Verizon FIOS internet, tv and phone that all connect to a router. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

    - What do I need to connect existing LAN to VOIP host? Our company has an existing network that is hosted externally. We also use VOIP through another vendor. We would like to bring the network in-house, but retain our existing VOIP provider. I am completely new to VOIP systems, and so my first question is - when selecting the various network components to purchase and install in-house, what do I need to buy or consider in terms of configuration, so that we will still connect to our VOIP provider? We will also be replacing the existing T-1 lines that go to our current network host provider, with fiber optic that goes out to the Internet. Do I need another dedicated line to go to the VOIP provider? Do I need any hardware to make all this happen? Maybe the above are "dumb questions" but I'm completely new to VOIP, so please bear with me. Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286891

    - Cannot connect to internet via other PC We have 5 PCs that connect to the internet through another PC. All have XP Home. The problem is that one of them cannot connect to the internet at all yet it can successfully share files between the PCs. I have gone through the network wizard successfully many times now and everything seems to be as it should, just like the other PCs but IE7 still comes up with the page not found, check your settings. The virus program cannot detect a connection either. What should I do next? Many thanks for your attention and any help you can give me. Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286873

    - Wireless printer problem I have an HP DJ 6988 wireless printer that works off my home network with a Linksys Wireless Router. We have two computer hardwired into the network. My wife has added the printer via the Network Printer method. When she prints to the printer, for some reason it pops up a Preview Box on my computer and will not print until we click the Continue Printing button on my printer. When I print from my laptop, I don't get this Preview pop-up. We do not have the Preview selected on either machine. In fact, it is difficult to get to the Printer/Properties on her machine. If we right-click on the printer icon on her machine, we get an error message about some Service not running. If we double click on the printer icon and then look at File/Properties for the printer, there is no Preview option in the General Tab, Printing Prefrences/Finishing dialogue tab. Any clues?

I've tried three different browsers, IE, Netscape, and Firefox and still nothing. I'm able to access other sites just fine and I am able to access this particular site on other pc's. I have McAfee installed and Windows Firewall is off. I tried pinging the website and it comes back at 100% loss, request timed out. I've called Comcast and they show no restrictions on my server and had me run a tracert. Based on that, they said something was wrong with the routing in the area and had engineers come out and fix. Well the tracert results are still the same and I still can't connect. I'm running Windows XP, cable modem, no router, no parental controls. It seems like I've run out of options, what else can I do?

    - SMTP and PHP Hi, computer on which i develop web applications (in PHP 5.2.4) is a windows XP based including also Apache server 2.24. My PHP web applications need to send emails and therefore i would like to test it on my development machine. For that reason i thought that IIS->SMTP component could do the job. I was thinking to setup a virtual SMTP server but i'm not successful. Where could i find detailed documentation or tutorials about how to setup IIS->SMTP to work with apache server and PHP ? thanks a lot, Al. Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286843

    - Very odd web connectivity behavior I have Verizon FIOS. If I go to Speedtest I get numbers that reflect the performance I am paying for, 15 up, 2 down. The problem is with Web behavior and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm using IE or Firefox. I click on a link and the status just goes to "done", nothing happens. I can click it quite a few times before it actually goes to the page, then it loads fast. This occurs all the time on any number of sites. Or it will give me an error page, but it will connect upon refresh. I have the Actiontech modem/wireless router from Verizon. The support they offer is useless, when they can be contacted. This has gone on for weeks now, and before I just tell them to come pull everything out I want to hear other ideas. I have run Spybot and Adaware as well as AVG. The system is clean. I primarily use Firefox for my browser. XP SP 2. -Jim Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286828

    - Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Webpage.... HELP!! I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 with all available updates. I am not able to connect to the web and recieve the message "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Webpage". I have disabled the Firewall and have disabled the Antivirus Program. I have ran Ad-Aware 2007 and have ran WinsockXPFix, ISPFIX, LSPFix, RegCure and they have corrected found problems with out correcting the connection problem. I can see my Local Network but not the WAN through IE. I have even tried reinstalling IE7 and Windows XP Pro (over itself) and yet I still can not see the web. I have the same problem if I connect via Wireless, Wired, or Broadband Cellular. My OS when booted states that there is Updates to be installed but will not download them or install them due to no connectivity. Even when I try to access the MS Update Site it will not display the webpage. The only updates that I have not installed is the .NET Framework 2.0 Update and the 3.0 Update. I have searched the forum for assistance and have tried everything that has been suggested in previous forums without success. I am just about ready to REFORMAT and RE-Install the OS to see if that works. I am able to get online with other computers (both Wired and Wireless) over the same network but not on my DELL Inspiron 5100 Laptop that is having the issues.

    - Web page with lots of information causes network to fail Web page with lots of information causes network to fail ... When I go to a web page with a lot of information, then my network fails .. basically, the network activity stalls, the web page does not fully load and my network drives fail ... the best way to resolve is for me to manually go and disable the network connection and enable again (which is frustrating). Any ideas what could be causing this? I browse the exact same web pages on other computers and they work perfectly fine. One other issues that might be related ... when I use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection ... the connection also fails on the same web pages ... but interestingly it also fails when I view email (in Outlook) that are HTML and have a lot of content/pictures in them.

    - Can't Share Folders I'm having a very odd problem. First of all, I have a network between three computers all running XP Pro, and they've always worked, I just set the same workgroup for all of them and I'm good, I've never had to create the same accounts on all computers or whatever that entails. It's always pretty much just been plug and play. Anyways, I just reformatted my computer and the first thing I did was share my printer, that worked flawlessly, and it has been working. I joined the same workgroup of course (HOME, not MSHOME) and I could see the other two computers and read the shared files and folders and what not. However, when I then decided to share a folder of my own (Something which I always used to do), none of the other two computers could access it. They could see my computer in the workgroup but they would get an 'access denied' error. I read about the 'restrictanonymous' registry key which seems to work for many and I applied it but after restarting it always resets back to 1, the other two computers have it at 0. Keep in mind that everything is perfect other than the fact that no one else can access my shared folders, but I can access their's. I've even created accounts named after the other computer's usernames (Something which I've never had to do) and that didn't work either. At first I thought it was zonealarm but I uninstalled it and the problem persists, could it be that it left something behind? Should I reinstall the file and printer sharing component? Sorry for being vague, it's pretty late and I'm going insane over this problem. Please ask me any questions you would need to help me out, as I would really appreciate some help.

    - Cannot ping desktop from laptop or router Hi all, My problem looks similar to many others here, but Iâ??m stumped. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. My setup: â?¢ Cable modem â?¢ Motorola VT2542 router â?¢ Desktop computer, Windows XP Pro, version 2002, sp2 o Network name: ReadTheGreen o IP Address: 192.168.15.2 o New self built o XFX nForce 680i LT motherboard o Core2 Quad Q6600 cpu â?¢ Laptop Computer, Windows XP Home, version 2002, sp2 o Network name: BigTen o IP Address: 192.168.15.2 o HP pavilion zd8000 â?¢ Workgroup Name: MSHOME on both machines The Problem: â?¢ The Desktop is a new machine that replaces an old Dell. I canâ??t get it to network properly with the laptop. â?¢ The new desktop can successfully ping itself, the router and the laptop. It can also view shared laptop files through Windows Explorer. â?¢ The laptop can successfully ping itself and the router, but NOT the desktop. I get the â??Request timed outâ?? error. â?¢ The laptop can â??seeâ?? the desktop in the MSHOME workgroup in Windows Explorer, but when I try to access the desktop, I get the error: â??â??\\Readthegreen is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found. â?¢ While logged into the router, http://192.168.15.1, there is a â??ping testâ?? option under the Tools menu. Using that tool, I can ping the laptop (192.168.15.3), but NOT the desktop (192.168.15.2). â?¢ In summary, the desktop is not accessible by either the laptop or the router Attempted Solutions: â?¢ Originally, both machines were running Norton Internet Security. I added the laptopâ??s IP address to the desktopâ??s list of trusted computers and vice versa using within Norton. â?¢ When the above did not work, I disabled both the personal firewall and intrusion prevention features of Norton on both machines. At the same time, I verified that the Windows firewall was not enabled. â?¢ I verified that the registry values of both \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous were set to 0 (zero). â?¢ I have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on both machines (Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) -> Properties -> Advanced -> WINS) â?¢ I have now uninstalled Norton from the desktop and disabled the windows firewall.

    - XP Pro machine will not stay connected to network for more than 30 I have a computer that was running normally for several years. Suddenly, it started off the network after about 30 mins after boot. It couldn't see other machines and they couldnt see it. Rebooting solves the problem for another 30 mins or so. I put a second PCI network card in the machine and connected to that - and the problem remained, so it is not the hardware. I replaced the network switches. I ran SPYBOT S&D and several WINSOCK repair utilities. Event log showed another computer on the net trying to become a browser master. I shut that machine off. None of the other machines on my network (6) have this problem. The only possible clue I have is that I'm getting an WARNING (in event log) that I'm exceeding the maximum number of connection attempts. NETSCAN shows 7 devices connected - but XP allows 10, right?

    - Security Alert - then floods of empty IE6 windows I'm getting some very bizarre behaviour here. I'm in a program called Magix Movie Edit Pro - although I don't think that's necessarily going to prove central to the issue. I click a button that's supposed to take me to an online site for downloading video resources. A window appears titled 'Security Alert'. Its message is: "You are about to leave a secure Internet connection. It will be possible for others to view information you send. Do you want to continue?" That's a fairly familiar window - from a web browser - but as I said, I'm not. Anyway, I clicked No. That started a unstoppable flood of 'empty' IE6 windows! All titled something like 'No page to display'. Within seconds I had over a hundred covering the desktop. And I don't even *use* IE - my browser is Firefox. XP Home Task Manager brought an end to this, but I had to force closure of Movie Edit Pro and then IE6. 'Yes' takes me to the site, where I'm asked to register. I decline, so close that page. That returns me to the 3 options. 'More Info' gives a window titled 'What's new in Internet Explorer'! Where does that come from? Its content is the familiar one: "Entering a non-secure Web site from a secure Web site. The Web site you were viewing was a secure site. A secure Web site provides secure communication and has a valid certificate. blah blah ... If you do not feel confident about viewing this site, click No." Which is where I came in... Can anyone offer any clue as to what might be going on here please? Needless to say, I've emailed Magix Support, but another Magix user couldn't duplicate the behaviour so somehow I have a feeling this is an obscure conflict or XP issue. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286772

    - Wireless LAN ongoing problem I thought I had this working the other day, but it is onlly partially working. Here's the recap: I have a desktop and laptop each running XP Home and each connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. The desktop is connected to the router via ethernet cable. The laptop is wirelessly connected to the router. Both computers access the internet successfully. Using the Network Setup Wizard on each, I've tried to define a Home Network over which I can share files and printers between the two computers. For each computer I have specified "other" for the Connection Method and then specified "This computer connects to the Internet directly or through a network hub. Other computers on my network also connect to the Internet directly or through a hub." (Is this the wrong option in the Network Wizard?) I've assigned each to the same Working Group and specified File and printer Sharing to be turned on. I am using User accounts with the same name, password, and administrator privileges on both computers. In My Network Places on the Laptop, the Desktop is recognized, but when I click to open the Desktop icon I get the following message: \\Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found." I have since resolved this issue by turning off the Windows Firewall and Norton Firewall on the desktop, and now from the laptop I can access the shared folder on the desktop and print to the printer physically connected to the desktop. But in My Network Places on the Desktop the Laptop computer does not show up at all. Turning off the firewall on the laptop does not fix the problem. I am turning off Windows firewall and the Norton inbound firewall on the laptop. What am I missing? Thanks again for anyone's help. Ted Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286753

I receive my internet connection wirelessly thru the Bridge. I just noticed that there are some folders displayed in My Network Places that are from another computer that is not a part of my WORKGROUP. I can access these folders and download from them. This is a huge security risk for the owner of this computer. I am wondering WHY i can see these folders, and if there is a possibility that others might see my shared folders as well. I'd like to understand what's going on and inform the owner (if I can locate them) of this other computer of their security risk and help them solve it. thanks in advance rob Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286733

This problem happens daily so I troubleshooted the issue as given below and came to know that the issue is due to Operating System. 1) I changed the LAN connectivity to another port and got the same problem and then confirmed that the problem is not due to network. 2)And the I disabled my onboard ethernet card and added new addon ethernet card and tried to connect to the network and got the same delay in connecting the network and so I confirmed that the problem is not due to onboard ethernet card. 3) And then I tried to connect the network through new ethernet cable and then confirmed that the problem is not due to cable. 4) And also I created a new login ID and got the same problem in that login so I confirmed that the problem is not due to user profile. And so I am not sure where is the problem, can you please suggest us a solution, so that we will be able to solve this issue. Waiting for your favourable reply. Regards, Potri Raaja.M.

    - ipconfig and network connections empty - Device Manager okay Hi, I just got confronted with an WinXP system (IBM T40, build-in WLAN and LAN) which had a problem. The problem seemed to coincide with the installation of a noname(Tchibo)-USB-Webcam, which was deinstalled there after. The following is the problem: Both network cards (intel wlan and intel lan) are listed in the device manager as being okay. Drivers installed okay. "IBM connection manager" is not installed. Both cards are activated via the BIOS and the WLAN light signals that the card is active. however: ipconfig just replys "windows IP configuration". No adapter is listed. Network connection is empty. Trying to install a connection gets one to a screen where one can choose an adapter to establish the connection. The list to choose from features only the wlan card not the lan card and says about the wlan card that the installation can't procede till on would have activated the card again. The simple ip services like ping aren't installed but I don't see what I need them for? Does one have to install them in order to get any internet connection and to get the adapters listed? Pluging in a LAN-cable with a DHCP host on the other side won't make ipconfig or "network connections" show the ethernet adapter. I couldn't establish a connection to the ethernet. The WLAN/Bluetooth activation software started when clicked "FN+F5" just lists the Bluetooth adapter which can be activated and deactived. On pressing FN+F5 the software comes up and complains that the card can not be activated. (this doesn't seem to be a wlan problem however as the wired adapter isn't showing up (other than in the device manager) either.) Do you maybe have an idea, what the problem might be? Thanks alot, Jack Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286695

I checked the IPs, are working, I can ping the other computer from mine, I checked the service RPC, is started. DNS are the same for both, time zones too. What is the problem please?

    - How connect 2 laptops via WiFi and ICS thru Wireless USB modem?? Hi, maybe I'm stupid or just weird. I have 2 Dell Laptops with built-in WiFi. The one is connected to Telecom Mobile Broadband via a USB modem. It works fine. The 2 laptops can share files neatly. But I cannot get the client to access internet. The Host is set to ICS on the WiFi link. Any ideas or is it impossible without a router?. Tag: connecting 2 computers thru cross cable Tag: 286686

Hi
To make sure that each computer has a valid connection use the information
that is in this page, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.htlml
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

On top of what Jack said, to be more specific, it's easiest to share things
if you have both computers set up to have static IPs when using a crossover
cable.
