How do I restrict all internet access but allow networking?
How do I restrict all internet access to one of the computers in my workgroup, but still allow access to the network storage we have on the network? I want full access to the media content shared in the workgroup, but want to not allow this computer to have any access in or out to the internet. Any takers to this tough problem??? Thanks in advance!
1st make your users as "Regular Users" or "Power Users" then make sure that your clients get a gateway different from the routers’. This maybe done manually or centrally using DHCP.
If your router’s IP is 192.168.0.1, make the client’s PC’s gateway 192.168.0.254…that way, all internet traffic will be pointed to non-existent router.
Another way is to block all outgoing request from the router using firewall.
How does wireless networking work?
The thing is, I want to be able to play the Sims 3 on my little Aspire One netbook. I am pretty positive it won’t be powerful enough to have it installed, but how does wireless networking work? If I install the game on my more powerful desktop computer, can I set up a network and play it through my laptop??
This might be a very dumb question – I really have no idea when it comes to computers!
There is no way it will work on a netbook in any way
Can a broken network switch cause intermittent internet access across an entire network?
I just replaced a router on our small business network and all communications within the network are ok. Though when we try to access a webpage the speeds are very inconsistent. There are even times when we get error messages and can’t get anything to come up. I’ve checked with our ISP and we aren’t having any issues from their end. So the only other thing I can think of is our switch. Maybe it’s screwing up IPs or something. Have any suggestions?
isolate one machine to the modem directly to test out if it’s in any way the isp or the modem itself, once you verify it isn’t the isp nor modem, connect the switch with one machine, confirm it isn’t the switch by adding a second machine and testing out the connection, speeds, whether you can view sites, etc. it could possibly be the switch, a faulty switch can cause a lot of problems.
Will my router work with my Xbox wireless networking adapter?
Hi, I already have a router box for my laptop with Talk talk etc, will it be sufficient if I get a wireless networking adapter for my sons xbox to use with it? Forgive me im not down wid de kids!!!
As long as the router is a wireless internet router, then it won’t work. It will work if it is. The problem is that the XBOX Wireless Network Adapter is £50, so make sure you find the cheapest. If your console is next to the router you can buy an Ethernet cable for it, which costs £20.
What are good networking options besides Golf?
We are planning a business networking meeting of about 15-20 people in Nov or Dec in Chicago or New York. Due to Winter, we need to look at options other than Golf to enable us a good time, and also have a good networking meeting mixing business with fun?
It depends what your budget is but a suite at baseball, football or hockey game are great ways to mingle with others!!

Social Networking: An Evolution in Communication Media
Most public schools block social networking websites. I put this video together to get a little perspective. It is an attempt to see the forest from the trees. Basically, my thesis is that the internet is a social network and a communication medium. Communication media are only fully used to their potential if it is a two-way medium. Teaching students how to use the internet without letting them publish, blog, tweet, etc. is like teaching them how to read without allowing them to write.

Top Tips on Network Router Configuration
If you want to set up your own network, and you have multiple computers, you will need to set up a router. Cable (wired) routers, while still legitimate, are quickly becoming obsolete so this article focuses on wireless routers.
Most retail wireless routers will cover a large area in your home or office. However, to cut down on cable usage, you may want to place the router as close to your modem as possible. Your modem will have a phone line connection so it will be less mobile. Ideally, you would want your modem and router to be one device. Many ISPs will give you a modem/router but you’ll have to request it.
Wireless routers have built-in installation software that you connect with and use via an internet browser. You don’t need an internet connection to configure your wireless router. In fact, you can setup a network without an internet connection at all.
