My PC is Windows XP Home edition Service Pack 2
I installed Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network)
client 4.0.3. Order for the Cisco VPN client get
connect, I have to disable the Windows XP firewall
first. Why is that? That is NOT cool to disable the
firewall.
How can I connect the Cisco VPN client without
disenable the firewall? Do I need to upgrade
the Cisco VPN client? What is the latest version
out there?
How do I go about providing surge protection for a Cisco 1720 router?I have looked all over Cisco's web page and find nothing helpful.

View 2 Replies View Relatedmy cable is not working properly.Every 15-20 minutes my internet connection is broken even though the modem is online and there is no problem with the cable coming into my house. I have to reset the cable modem and then it works for another 10-20 minutes until the next cut. Ive had this problem before (last time i changed computers) but cant remember how it was resolved. I already talked to my ISP support but these guys are brain damaged or something and cannot even comprehend my problem and all 3 actually concluded that i had somehow contracted some killer virus immediately after connecting my computer and this virus was the root of my problems

I recently reinstalled Windows XP Home on a friends computer, but when I went
to create their dialup connection to the internet, I couldn't.I went into the 'Internet Connection Wizard'. Told it that I was connecting directly to the internet. Then I told it I was going to set up the connection manually. But whenever the option comes up to setup a dial-up or broadband connection, the dial-up option is greyed out and unselectable.In device manager, it shows my modem as being fine. It's installed with no conflicts.
I got a Toshiba with windows XP.. Its an older laptop and runs slow.. which is fine for what i need it for.. It is connected through a Dlink Cable modem.

Problem : NO internet
Unplug netowkr cable from cable modem (get the network cabled unplugged in windows, so it is seing the modem or atleast talking to it)Tried using the windows xp network srtup wizard. I did that hub one (connected thourhg a hub) and i tried the direct connection (goes from modem to computer).
I've been trying to use Remote Desktop to connect from my home computer to my office network's machines. I've followed all the instructions except for the part where it talks about getting a "virtual private network connection". Not sure if I have this part done right. Not even sure if this is the problem. Is there something that needs to be set up before being able to connect from a home computer to an office machine?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just checked the 'connections options' and found that the box 'always dial if a network connection is not present' has been checked. Am i right in thinking that the 'always dial my default connection' box should be checked instead? or doesn't it make much difference? (I am usding Windows XP home) A friend of mine set up my email up for me and I am using 'Orange' as my ISP. For some reason he has put 'Orange anytime default 2' instead of just Orange. I hope this all makes sense?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat info do I need on the server side to allow access to the client computer. I know in xp (the server) in this case, you can allow users access by adding them and giving them access. Just wondering what kind of info I add on the server side for the client to have access.. Do i put in the client computer name, workgroup or Ip address? Internal IP address or external? I'm basically trying to setup a connection to allow me to use remote desktop from work to access my home PC. Home PC is using xp pro and work PC is using Win98. I've already setup the VPN connection at work (win98), just need more info on setting up the Host PC. Like what exact info I need from the client PC, to add this info to allow access to my Host..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with my LAN connection and router.Although the LAN connection is connected and firewalled, the router is on with all the lights working, i cannot get on to the net. When I open my internet browser to go to a web page it begins to search for it, however then displays page cannot be displayed message and informs me that the server cannot be found or a DNS has occurred.Sometimes i get a bubble pop up saying limited or no connectivity.
Before the connection stopped working, my main computer was connected directly to the router and there were two laptops also using the router wirelessly. However now none of the computers can access the net The connection works if i remove the router and use a broadband modem.I cannot configure my router as no instructions came with it relating to its use and after numerous attempts at contacting the manufacturers
It seems lots of people are having problems with ICQ and WinXP not finding a network/internet connection upon XP startup (especially those on DSL modems like myself, or those with LAN/T1's, etc.)The Problem is that when XP loads, ICQ pops up and says "no connection detected". This occurs despite the fact that 'Net Detect Agent' and 'automatically connect to internet when no connection present' are checked. The previous solution was to move Net Detect Agent *out* of the Startup folder, put a shortcut on the Desktop, and use that when you wanted to connect.I was browsing through the boards here and came across a thread discussing this problem: http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/board/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=245They did not come across a solution, however it did give me an idea..I tried it .. and it WORKS!! Read on...Here's how to do it (am using WinXP Pro):1. Go to the Group Policy Editor (Run->"gpedit.msc")2. Under 'User Configuration', click "Administartive Templates"3. Click 'System'-> 'Logon'4. In the window on the right, double-click on "Run these programs at user logon"5. Make sure 'Enabled' is checked, then click 'Show'6. You'll now want to add ICQ's Net Agent Detect to the list (which is probably empty unless you've already been in here). To do this, first locate on your HD the exact location of 'NDetect.exe'.Example: C:InternetICQNDetect.exe Click 'Add', then type the filename & path of the above file7.
Click 'OK', 'OK', and 'OK' again to exit.The next few steps are important: 8. Now make sure that there are NO traces of ICQ or Net Detect Agent in your Programs->Startup folder. If there are, delete them from Startup.9. Start up ICQ, and go to 'Connections'(Main->Preferences->Connections->General tab). Under 'Launch' make sure 'Launch ICQ at startup' is NOT checked.10. Click 'OK'. Disconnect from Internet if connected.REBOOT.If everything goes properly, you should now see the Net Detect Agent appear in the system tray as WinXP starts up the desktop. When you connect to the Net, it magically disappears.. to be replaced with the ICQ 'flower' which will shortly find a connection and voila!
Ever since I have rebooted my whole machine the Internet runs very slow. I mean very slow. Everything else of the computer works fine but this, I'm sure it is not virus that caused this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pc with windows XP, with over 700mb Ram, 80gb hard disk space and not many programs running. My video program is NVDIA GFORCE4, and my internet connection is by DSL. Yet whenever I'm online for the past 6 months or so, my pc is very slow and whenever I go to Yahoo Games I basically just freeze up for several minutes. Yes I've got Java programs running, many anti-spyware and antispams running, plus AVG antivirus. I even re-installed and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me please? I've tried everything and can't figure it out. I even had different laptops on the same connection - the problems seems to be the same but a lot less than with the desktop, and with a friends laptop it was nearly normal. My pc is over 2 years old but the problem only cropped up about 6 months ago and I can't figure it out.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for the SP2 TCP/IP connection patch from a reliable source. I looked around here at TSG and did not really find anything useful, but i do totally suck azz at searching. What i would really like is a patch that only allows like.20 connections instead of 10. I don't need unlimited or 100 connections, for that defeats MS purpose of this.To slow the spread of virus's. But 10 is just a bit too little for myself b/c i keep getting the connection limit errors in my event viewer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe oddest thing. About every Wed and either Sat or Sun. The DSL connection or something in Windows won't allow connection, and I can't access online. I have to restart the computer, then all is well until Wed. or Sat/Sun. I've called SBC/Global and they can't find anything. It seems to be a timing thing that resets to Wed and Sat/Sun. I've been keeping track. This started a couple of months ago. Has anyone else encounted this? What to do. Everything goes back to normal when I restart.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy computer has Windows XP 500 mbytes of RAM and a 2 GHZ speed. I was using a dial connection until recently. The computer opened most programs in 2 to 3 seconds, and quickly switched between programs [Word, Outook, IE] with no problem. When I got DSL I noticed that although the internet speed was of course much faster, my computer slowed down. Programs open noticably slower and when I try to switch between two programs it can take several seconds before it finally responds. I suspect the DSL connection is "taking over", Is there any network setting I can change to fix this?

Suddenly, I am able to log on to the VPN, and it shows me connected, but I cannot connect to my mail or the databases. I have not intentionally changed any settings. Could this be a result of a security or windows update?
