1 Router, 2 Computers, Can I access the other computer through router?

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.

You cannot have two computers with the same IP address. Either one or both will cease to access the internet.\n\nYou CAN have two computers behind a router, with the router having one IP address, and have them both access the 'net at the same time. This usually is only done on DSL or T1 systems where public IP addresses are expensive.\n\nCheck to make sure that your server is not trying to use the same IP address as the wireless router, and make sure that you are not trying to give it an IP address that it does not already have. Many systems, including servers, are set to automatically assign itself and IP address that is given by the router.

yes you dont know what you are talking about #1\n\nand if you have PC1 into router 1 via wire\nand PC2 into router 2 via wireless\n\nthey are obviously on two networks. plug PC1 into router 2 and make sure DHCP service is enabled on your router. I am assuming you are talking about those broadband routers that have DHCP service.\n\nupdate:\n\ntake away router 2 and put everything on router 1. You should be on the same network then, in order to get to that PC you  need to browse via IP unless you have a DNS server or if you are using an additional protocol other than IP

You can share the internet connection between both computers by using a router.\n\nThese updates are for internet protection. The files are useless for the other computer.

Get a wireless router and a wireless card; connect the wireless router to the machine with the internet connection & LAN card. Next, install and configure the wireless card in the other computer and then you can share the internet with the two computers.\n\nP.S. - Don't forget to setup security on your wireless router to stop "wardrivers".

easiest thing to do: get a router, For less than $50 you should be able to get a D-Link, Linksys or Netgear router that easily manages the network traffic between your machines. It will also allow you to share a broadband Internet connection (if you have one) and protect you via a firewall.\nJust get two standard network cables, connect each computer to the router, boot the computers, and they should recognize the new network automatically.

Yes, using a hub.  You can also connect 2 computers together using a crossover cable.

Yes, absolutely you can do what you want.   If the computers are near each other, and near the cable modem, then the easiest way is with short Ethernet cables and a router.   The router connects to all 3:  to the modem, it looks like a computer, and to the computers it looks like an internet connection.\n\nYou can also do this with a wireless router.  It works the same way except that radio communication is used instead of cables between the router and the computers (The router is still connected to the cable modem with a cable).  However, you need to get a wireless card for each of the computers, the router you'd use is slightly more expensive, it's not quite as fast, and it raises potential security issues.   The security problems can be solve, but it's an additional thing to worry about.\n\nSo, assuming the distances are short, you should buy something like a 4-port router (made by Linksys, Netgear, and others).  Make sure it has a firewall built in (they pretty much all do).   Do NOT buy an Ethernet "hub" or "switch": make sure it's a router.\n\nIt'll probably come with a cable to attach it to your cable modem.  You probably already have one such cable, so may need to buy one more.   (You'll need 3 all together for this set-up.)\n\nThe fact that one machine is a PC and the other is a Mac shouldn't matter at all.

Ask your wireless router provider how you could do that (Belkin, Linksys, Hawkingtech, and other brands).\n\nAlso you can access it's main local IP Address to access the configuration panel\n\nlike if your local was like 192.168.40.243 then the Main Config IP would be 192.168.40.1. With encryption you don't have to use 1 computer with wireless to use encryption. All you have to do is write down the WEP, or WAP key so that the other computers can use encryption.\n\nAlso you could check your routers manual.

Yes, login to the router.  There should be section that shows the IP addresses of connected computers.  Although, if I remember correctly this only works when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which auto-assigns computers connecting to the network an IP address.

No.  In order to "route" wireless internet access to other computers, you must use a "wireless" router.  Every computer must have a properly configured wireless NIC (available in PCMCIA, USB, or PCI slot designs).  Ethernet means it is a wired connection using ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors.  The 5 port ethernet adaptor can be used to share one internet connection with 5 computers.

you can always use a router or you can buy a lan adapter. it's like a lan hub

there can only be ONE router in on a network, then switches and access points for any expansions to it.  2 routers will end up conflicting with each other.\n\nSimilar to what this product can do:\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=346\n\nThough you may have to contact dlink to see if yours can be come an access point.  Sift though google as well.

The computer needs a wireless NIC to connect to the router, so, yes.

Yes, you can turn a PC into a router. I suggest using a linux, or BSD distribution as you only need a small amount of disk space and a pentium II should be more than enough for this purpose

1. you need a NIC (Network Interface Card) on both computer.\n\n2. cross over cable.\n\n3. right click my network places and select the connection of you have just created for this connection and give it a static IP address (say 192.168.0.21)\n\n4. do the same for the second computer with diffrent IP address (say 192.168.0.9)\n\n5. enable the network on both computers.\n\n6. go to the explorer and type &#92;&#92;192.168.0.21 from 192.168.0.9\n\nThat's all. \nHave Fun

You could but you would have to have 2 accounts from your ISP (counterproductive).. Have you considered a Wireless Router and Wireless Networking cards? \n\nPerhaps the best idea is to purchase a wireless router (sell your other router) connect the 2 computers and cable modem upstairs and then purchase a single wireless network card for the computer downstairs..
