I recently bought myself a new Netgear Stora MS2110 (network storage), my network situation is a bit strange. I've got my computer connected to a wireless network with internet access, and the Stora now connected to the computer by a wired LAN without internet. I just now discovered that I needed to have internet to setup the Stora, so my question is this - Can I somehow Bridge the wireless network onto the wired network through my computer? giving the Stora internet access and access to the wireless network.
my wireless USB network adapter crapped out on me recently, so I'm trying to run internet through my wireless laptop to my PC using a network bridge but for some reason the internet speed wont stay high. its starts out good and then gets really slow. both laptop and pc are running windows 7 enterprise. keep the internet running at a steady pace?
The output of the "print route" command on my Win7x64 system is shown below.The wireless adapter has been assigned to 198.168.2.72 by the router and the Gigabit wired connection has been manually assigned the static address 198.168.2.8The strange thing is that the gateway metric which I believe is used to decide which connection to use is 25 for the wireless connection (i.e. fast) and 276 (i.e. slow) for the gigabit wired connection. But I expected this to be the other way around. Why does it think the wireless onnection is faster? Does this mean that network traffic is generally routed thru the wireless adapter? Is there a way for me to tell which adapter is being used to route traffic?Should I believe its reported speed, or should I force the metrics so that the wired connection is used by default. If so, what commands are used to force this priority, and do these commands need to be repeated after every boot, or are the permanent?
The title suggests i need to setup my networks so that they are both working harmoniously together.The reason i need this is because on the wireless side i need to connect to my router for internet access.On the wired side i need to connect to my NAS. I have tried connecting the NAS box to the router and it works but it is too slow.
I have a wired linksys router that works fine. I'm not using DHCP on it, its setup at 192.168.1.1. My pc which only has a wired NIC, connects with no problems.I recently bought a tplink wireless router. I changed it so the ip is now 192.168.1.254 (it was 192.168.0.254 originally which meant I couldnt access settings to change from the default password, SSID).
I got the tplink wireless router, so I wouldnt have to be tethered with a wire on my laptop for internet. However, I've wasted time with tech support which I can barely hear or understand.I'd like to get this working, otherwise I'm sending everything back, wireless router and laptop.I can ping both the linksys and tplink from my laptop with no problems.I can get connected to the tplink wireless router without a problem but I cannot get to the internet.
I have windows XP mode installed on Window 7 Enterprise and running Windows XP ofcorce. I need to connect my laptop to wired network and in some time to connect wireless for XP mode using. What I mean : I want to use wired internet for my Windows 7 and in same time wireless network for windows XP in XP mode that is running. This I need because those two windows need to be connected in different networks.
I recently replaced my wireless router and Bellsouth DSL modem with a single Netgear DGN2200 DSL modem/wireless router. The problem is my desktop which is wired, cannot see the laptop computers that are on the network via wireless connection. If I start a homegroup with one of the laptops, the other laptop can join but my desktop cannot (no "join now" option). If I start a homegroup with my wired desktop, neither laptop sees it.However, if I connect my desktop to the network using my USB wireless adapter, then I can establish a homegroup with either a laptop or the desktop with no problem.I have checked that IPv6 is enabled and that all the services listed in other posts are enabled. I'm fairly certain the cause is some setting in my router security, but I don't see anything that would prevent my desktop from linking. I can also get on the internet with no problem.
Well ive heard that Ivy bridge boost 20% performance and huge in GPU.I dont need Built in GPU.Ivy has integrated USB3.0, PCI 3.0 and thunderbird.Is it really worth to wait for the new Ivy Bridge i5 3570k? versus i5 2500k?I have a lesson for the previous CPU. Bought 3 computer Socket 1156 after 2 months of release!The result? i always got a BSOD.The Sandy bridge 1st release has a problem also with the chipset.If i remember they fix after 2 weeks with the new B3 design.Now guys because im really excited on Ivy bridge.The release date is April 08, 2012 What can you say? is it really safe buying for only a 1 month old after the release? Lets say i wait to buy on May 01, 2012?.Amd is creating a PCI 3.0 Hd 7 Series.
I use a network bridge between my wireless and wired adapters to put my 360 on Live, because the 360 Wireless Network Adapter is just waaaay too expensive. Anyway, it all worked completely fine under XP, but I just installed 7 and there's a couple of things I'm having trouble with... The network icon in the sytem tray shows either... well, I'm not sure exactly what icon it is when the 360 is on, or a disconnected wireless network icon when it isn't...
what I'd like is the normal wireless network icon with the signal bars (this is more of an annoyance, but I get really annoyed by stuff like this). More seriously, under (as far as I can tell) the same configuration as XP, the 360 can't get an IP address from my router.
If I set it to a static IP, it connects to Live, but complains about "moderate NAT" or some crap, and says that will stop me connecting to some games or players (and it does).
I'm using a bridged connection so that my ps3 can connect through my computer (better speed then with ps3s wireless), but I have a small problem.
the ps3 can connect to the internet and everything seems to work fine, but after 10 min of gaming I will get a network error saying that I'm not connected to the internet.
After repairing it'll work again. Any idea whats wrong and how to fix it?
My windows 7 machine is unable to connect to my internet through the wireless bridge I've set up on my WRT54G using DD-WRT. It seems to be connected to the network as it sees the other computers that are on it but there is no internet access. Every once in awhile it gains access and then abruptly loses it in a matter of minutes. The router supplies internet to anything else I plug into it, be it my Xbox or laptop running XP.
i normal run windows xp on my machine but currently trying out windows 7 but i have a small problem. ok so in xp i create a network bridge with my wireless card and ethernet so that i can connect my xbox 360 to the internet without buying the wireless adapter. now when i try to do this in windows 7 i get an error that says. To create a Network Bridge, you must select atleat two LAN or High-Speed Internet connections that are not being used by Internet Connection Sharing. im useing a lan connection and a high speed wireless connection isnt that all i need....and if it's because of intnert connection sharing how do i turn that off in windows
I have two network adpatro in win 7 one is lan card network adpator that use ip 10.1.4.100/16 Gw 10.1.1.249 one is VPN network adpator .If it enable , the IP will ber 192.168.2.X /24 .
I want to make bridge and so , the computer from 10.1.4.XXX /16 can use my computer to reach the 19.1.68.2.x . In this case , my PC work as a router .
I try to make bridge with above two adaptor . But after enable the bridge, I still cannot ping ,telnet 192.168.2.XXX from 10.1.4.xxx PC even after setup the route table .
I am having some issues with Windows 7 and my network bridge. I currently have it setup like this...modem -> router -> laptop -> wireless bridge. The problem is whenever I have the bridge enabled, the port I have open for utorrent is blocked. When I disable the network bridge the port is open again. I have the port open on my router so I dont think thats the problem.
When the bridge is disabled, I use a static IP and everything works well. When the bridge is enabled and I use a static IP, nothing works (not even firefox) and if I don't use a static IP utorrent gets blocked but Firefox works fine.
I was running WinXP before I moved to Windows 7 and there was never a problem...I could have the bridge enabled and it wouldn't effect my utorrent at all.
I have three PCs that connect to my home network wireless and two others that connect wired through a hub. Periodically one of the wireless PCs will see the other wireless devices but not the wired ones. This morning I installed some Win 7 updates and after the restart my laptop can't see the wired devices. My wife's Win 7 laptop sees everything. So the problem is intermittent. I have fiddled with Advanced Settings in Network Sharing, such as turning Network Discovery off and back on again. I can't seem to find the silver bullet that will cure this problem when it occurs.
I've been using wireless internet for months with my new computer which has Windows 7 64-bit. Today I disabled the wireless security for a bit, then tried to enable it, now I can't connect to anything. The problems are: 'The DNS server isn't responding' and 'Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP config'. My wireless icon keeps switching between a yellow exclamation point icon and a circular blue loading icon. It says it's connected but I cannot browse the net, I can access my router information though. My router/modem are definitely on and connected. I've done many power cycles on those and my computer. My modem is Comcast and my router is a Netgear WPN824 V2. The router has the most recent firmware.
Here is my ipconfig data:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:UsersVector03>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration
I bought a Windows 7 machine today. I went home and plugged the ethernet jack into the computer - it finds the connection, but won't connect to the internet. The wireless works fine. The wired works on my old vista machine. I went over the a friend's place - same deal, and their new Windows 7 machine doesn't work in the wired connection either. We are both Shaw cable subscribers in Western Canada.
I have tried restarting, disabling/re-enabling the drivers, updating the connection drivers. I can't think of anything else - suggestions?
Just bought a Lynksys router wrt160n to use with my wired windows 7 desktop and my wireless windows xp notebook. The notebook pickup up the signal, but we could not get past the authentication point. It wouldn't connect. Router worked fine wired with the windows 7. Any simple worded help for a beginner?
i have a pc running xp wired to my modem. i have another running windows 7 that connects wireless to the router. i can connect to the internet from the wireless w7 pc but as soon as i try to stream or download i lose connectivity.
I need to switch from a wired network to a wireless network. Santa is bringing a new laptop. I guess the best way is to change routers. Not sure what to go with.I currently have 2 desktops, PS3 and a TV on the wired network. Ive looked at and read the reviews on a Linksys-Newegg.com - LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server and an Asus-Newegg.com - ASUS RT-N16 Wireless Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps DD-WRT Open Source support with USB Storage, Printer And Media Server.For the most part the reviews are good but there a bunch of bad ones. Just wondering if any one brand is considered more reliable than the others. I don't know anything about open source firmware. Its mentioned quite a bit in the reviews.
I've been trying to create a homegroup which my laptop (wireless) and my computer (wired) will be part of. They are both connected to the same router. My wireless is called "BuckleyWireless" and my wired computer is connected to something called "VirginMedia478xxx". I'm not sure whether these have to be the same name for it to work so I thought I'd post this anyway.I've checked the subnet mask for both computers and they are the same.I've tried turning off the firewalls on both computers.I've gone into advanced settings so that both computers are "visible" within the network.My laptop is now visible on my wired computer but it can't actually be accessed for some reason.
I have a new Desktop running Win 7 64 Bit and a laptop running Win 7 32 Bit. The desktop is hard-wired to my router and the laptop is connected to my WI-FI network, along with my printers and back-up drive. I would like to set up a homegroup so I can share files between them and hopefully synch my two Outlook Contact files and back both up on my Buffalo back-up hardrive. How can I enable the two computers to see one another? Also how do I change the name of my laptop?
my buddy has a laptop issue when its a wired internet connection. when its wireless, it has no problems with the internet, everything works fine. but when its wired, webpages will still load, but Internet videos wont work, anything that consists of streaming doesn't work, and he cant even use logmein. i have connected other laptops to the same cord and there is no problems. so i know its not the cord and i imagine its not the router since everything still works fine with other computers.
I have Windows 7 SP1, 32bit on my laptop. I have both wired connection, and wireless connection. It may not make much sense to have both active, but at times I do.
When I have both wired and wireless connected, why do I not have both the wired and wireless icons in the sys tray?
Is there any way to "turn on" these icons? In the taskbar properties notification area, I have "always show all icons" checked.
I have had a Acer Aspire 5742-6814 for a month or so now. Yesterday it suddenly would not connect to the wireless network in my apartment and won't connect to a wired network either. It says that the wireless drivers are up to date and it just stopped working out of nowhere. I tried connecting to my school wireless network and that would not work either. I have tried some of the solutions that I have seen including: Resetting modem in apartment. Checking "Connect even if network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)" (which seemed to work for some people with similar problems). I really have no idea what is wrong or if it some kind of hardware issue. I can provide any further details.
I have been trying to set up a router at my girlfriend's apartment. I first tried a Linksys router that I had brought from home. I hooked it up from the wall port, to the router, to my computer. I was able to access the normal Linksys wireless setup page at 192.168.0.1 and set up a network fine. I then unplugged my ethernet cable and attempted to connect to the network and was not able to. If I recall, it 'connected' but there was no internet connection.
My Desktop is connected to a NetGear Router and is on a DLS line to internet. My wireless laptop picks up signal ok and goes online, it also "sees" desktop name, but I can't connect to it for file and printer sharing.
I have a new Windows 7 (HP) laptop normally connecting to a Netgear WNDR3700v2 router wirelessly. There is also windows XP-Pro file server, an XP thin client (running phone system) connected to the router via Ethernet. Finally, there is a 500GB USB drive plugged into to the router's USB ReadyShare port.
When the laptop is connected via Ethernet it can see and communicate with all Ethernet devices and all Ethernet devices can connect with the wireless laptop including the routers ReadyShare USB storage. All connectivity appears normal and shares are valid and recognized.
When the laptop is connected wirelessly, all wired devices continue to recognize it normally but can NOT communicate with it. The laptop sees nothing but the router's gateway. It does not recognize any other device connected to the router wirelessly or via Ethernet and does not recognize the USB storage connected to the router via ReadyShare.
It should be noted that the Netgear WNDR3700v2 router does see all wired and wireless devices. Also note that network discovery and file sharing is enabled on the laptop.
Netgear has assured me that all is well with the router (and I agree). I believe the problem is with Windows 7 wireless settings but this is the first Windows 7 device we have and I just don't know enough about the OS to know where to look to correct the problem.

I currenly work in an IT department and have given this 'project'.
We have a number of users who have been given 32bit Windows 7 laptops for remote, home and office working.
I have been asked to create a batch file so that as soon as the user comes into the office they plug the laptop into the network and it should use the wired connection automatically to access the corporate LAN. As soon as they work away and need to access the corporate network remotly they do not need to press the wireless button on the laptop, when the laptop is switched and logged on i want the laptop to know that it is not on a wired network and for the wireless to kick in.
I have created two bat files -
netsh interface set interface �Wireless Network Connection� Disable
and
netsh interface set interface �Wireless Network Connection� Enable
these have been placed in task scheduler under create a basic task. I have tried both of these in cmd prompt but they still don't work.
