I have two computers who access the internet through a router. I would like to access the computer "B" using computer "A"... Can I access it through the internet or through the router I have? If so, what do I do? I tried doing the setting up a home network but something isn't working. What is a simple step by step way to check to see if I have access to the other computer files so we can swap stuff from one drive to another. (Thank you so much!)

you have to set up a domain for your computers, a domain is kinda like your own home network of computer, for information on how to setup a domain go to the Microsoft knowledge base or to the knowledge base of the company that made the router, then you can ass or remove as many computers to your domain as you want, and they will all be accessible to you via mynetworkplaces icon.

heh, your router is giving out dynamic addresses.\n\nA very simple fix would be always to start one computer before the other, or, a more permanent solution would be to assign your computer a fixed address. You could also have your router assign a fixed address to a computer based on the MAC address of that computer. Both of the latter solutions will require a bit of manual reading if you're unfamiliar with them.

Fair enough.  You could try to access the router and change the values or reset the router altogether (of course, your folks would find out you did this).  Chances are if they're smart enough to filter stuff through the router, they're also monitoring your activity on the PC.. You could also try to bypass the router on your PC and make a "direct" connect to the cable or DSL modem (you'd have to change it back again to avoid having your parents figuring that out too).  You could try checking the websites out the "round-about way" and go to http://www.archive.org.  Otherwise, the sure-fire way is to "borrow" a remote window into a friend's computer using remote desktop, VNC, etc.

You should have bought a router instead of a switch, the router does network address translation so that both computers can use the internet connection. However not all is lost. You can get away with some software solution. The easiest way is to run a proxy server on the computer that is able to connect to the internet and point the other computer's settings to use this proxy.\n\nSearch for free proxy servers such as AnalogX Proxy or 602Software Proxy, they are free and have manuals explaining how to set up internet conection sharing. Hope this helps.

If you are on a local network (meaning your two computers are connected to a Linksys or Netgear router, for example), it is possible that a virus on one computer can be transferred to the other via the network. \n\nAs for your second question, the simple answer would be "No". Say you opened up an e-mail that had an attachment with a virus in it. You open it and now your computer is infected. If you were to disconnect that computer from the Cable/DSL Modem and reconnect another one, the virus would not "transfer" over because you didn't open the e-mail from that second computer. This answer is based on the assumption that no local network exists in your home. \n\nHope I clarified this for you.

Basically the router is the one distributing the data & the card on your wife's computer will receive the data being transmitted from the router.  In the sense if your computer is off.. it should work... In what ever mode considering that the router is the one throwing out data to both of your computers.

Buy a router, so you can LOG into the internet with that, and share your connection.   The router also estabilishs a network, so you can share files between computers.  \n\nI recommend against wireless, unless you MUST.   A wired network is much easier.

At "A" computer, right click the xyz folder - Properties - Sharing - Share this folder - Share Name: give any name and put $ at the end e.g. xyz$ - OK). Now, ask owner of "C" computer to access the shared folder by\n\nStart - Run - &#92;&#92;computerC&#92;xyz$ - OK\n\nHere computerC denotes the network computer name of "C" computer.\n\nGood Luck :)

Ok what you will need is a crossover cable. You them plug the cable into your laptop and desktop. You go to control panel and go to network connections and enable the connections on each computer. Right click on the two computer logos in the bottom right corner and go to repair. They should connect now, then just go to my network places and you should see your computer. Now all you need to do is right click the folder you wanna share and right click and go to shareing and enable. This should work but u might have issues. Hope this can help you. (if you cant see your laptop, go to my computer and right click and go to properties and then go to computer name and change, and you will see the domain name and check if they are the same, if not change to the same name..

the router takes care of the hard stuff, as long as both computers are set up to dhcp then just right click properties sharing enables files and folders, then just browse the network

plug both computers into the router with ethernet cables.  The dns should set up to do the routing already.  Go and right click the files/folders you want to share and goto the sharing option.  THen on the other computer goto my network places and view workgroup computers, if you dont see the other computer try going up a level since they might be under different workgroups.

you don't need a router, \nsince both computers connect to the Internet through same gateway or hub\nFollow these steps in order to Network all of them.\non your laptop and desktop, or any other computer,\n-Right Click on My Computer,\n-Select Propreties\n-Select computer Name\n-Name your Laptop "My Laptop", name your Desktop "Desktop" and any other name for different computers.\n-Click on change\n-In the Workgroup space, give all your computers same WorkGroup Name(it is case sensitive). MSHOME is the default, change it to something different, but your computers must be in the same workgroup.\n-Click OK\n- a message "welcome to ******* workgroup" is shown.\n-please restart your computers at this point.\n-when your computers are on,\n-double click on My Network Places\n-on the left bar, click on "view work group computers" do this on both computers.\n-you will see the names of your laptop in the desktop and vice versa.\nyou can now share documents, files, and drives.\n\nASAP

When you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to a hub, switch or router, you use what's called an MDI (straight through) cable.\n\nIn order to connect one computer to another directly, you must use an Ehternet cable with a different pinout called an MDI-X (cross over) cable.\n\nThe reason for this is because your computer is a "terminal" device.  It transmits data on a specific wire and expects to receive data on a specific other wire.  Then you connect it to a "host" device and it expects same thing, but on the opposite wires.\n\nFor more information, see the article on Ehternet on howstuffworks.com\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm

Are you using windows xp home or windows xp pro?  Windows xp home is pretty limited.  You can access another computer with its UNC path.  For example:\n&#92;&#92;brian&#92;c$\nif the computer name is brian and the computer is running windows xp pro (or windows 2000 pro).\n\nFor home, just type &#92;&#92;brian and then click on shared files/folders.  You will have to enable sharing by right clicking on the hard drive with home.  Specify a share name.

That's a fairly broad question, and it may help to know why you need to prove that these are one or the other.\n\nRouters, hubs, and switches would normally be considered computer-related.  Although some may argue that some of these, especially routers and some switches that have their own operating system and do some 'computational' work could technically be called computers.  Most in the industry, given the choice, would still call these computer-related.\n\nA modem is computer-related.  Not likely to get much of an argument there.\n\nFirewalls would normally be considered computer-related.  Although they can also run their own operating systems and be considered 'computer' devices.\n\n"Storage" .. not sure what you intend for this one.  Network attached storage? Some kind of SAN?\n\nServers are definitely computers, no question.\n\nNow for the more interesting part of your question, "I need to prove that networking equipment are computer related and cannot work without connecting to computer(s)..."\n\nIt really depends on what you mean by 'cannot work.'  A router can 'work' without being connected to a computer.  You can boot it up, start the operating system, connect it to a network of other routers, etc and it can 'do' a lot of things, but it would not being doing what it was intended to do.  \n\nI think you are on the right track of answering your own question.  "Networking equipment transfers data between two or more computers or related equipment."  Except for including servers and storage in your original list, I think you've answered yourself.

there are several ways....over email, or >>>ftp>>>but you got to be on the Ethernet with both computers...

i use a router for my computers because if u have a home networking, both computers could interact with each other, share files, print, etc.
