urgently networking help needed?
823983
Some good advice in the other answers, so I will just highlight a couple things.  Keep in mind that when I hear networking position, I assume you are talking about the infrastructure and not necessarily servers.  My expertise is with the routers and switches.\n\nFirst, know the OSI model, know how each layer works.  Know IP addressing.  Know the difference between the various types of equipment, if you don't know the difference between a switch and hub you wont get far.  Be prepared to show good troubleshooting skills and make sure you are organized in your answer to that question.  Know the basics of several different WAN protocols.  Know Ethernet.\n\nI realize there is a lot there  and not everyone will know everything.  Number 1 rule - DO NOT TRY TO BS THE INTERVIEWER.  They will know the answers to the questions they ask.  When I interview someone, I keep makng the questions harder and harder until they can't answer the next one.  So I don't expect them to know everything.\n\nLike the Boy Scouts say - Be Prepared.  Good luck.

Visit http://www.dslextreme.com and ask them if they have a solution that will work for your problem. I know they have very really reasonable rates, and claim they can supply a DSL connection to anyone! :))

Check to be sure you have the correct drivers, that's the most likely cause. Just go to the manufacturer's website and they should have them. If that doesn't work, check to make sure that the network card is seated all the way in it's slot (if it is a card, and not on-board) and if *that* doesn't work it may be fried, and you'll need a new network card.

I have found the best way is to use a hub. they are cheap and efficient. You need an ethernet card but unless your pc is old, it probably has one built into the MB.  Thanks for the question, It made me remember a question I had about my comp :)

get another lan card.\n\nalthough i doubt it would work cause I've never tried it before but try having two lan connections to your hub and set different ip's for each connection.

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

would need a bit more info\n\nhow are you connecting - dial up, wireless, broadband?  through the usb or the lan card?\n\nis there a error coming up?\n\ncheck you network connections - is it connecting\n\nto give you detailed info about your network card\n\nclick start > run > type CMD\n\nthen type ipconfig /all\n\nwill give you your ip address and the state of your network card and defualt gate way\n\nall try pinging your own ip address\n\ntype ping + your ip address shown in ipconfig\nif you send and recieve packs your network card is working fine\n\nbefore can give you more info would need more info

For connecting, the only thing you need is connect your network cable from modern (or route) to your PC.  I assume that you did it.\n\nBut for your PC being able to receive information you may need to install your network card drive (you can download it or usually it provide with your system)\n\nTry to install it, if your PC still cannot work...you may need a technician.

I would get a couple of USB wireless network adaptors, they're only about £15 each or so. You can set them up in ad hoc mode to talk to each other. Just make sure they support your operating systems, most do, some don't. good luck!

Don't know if this will do any good, BUT, I experienced the same difficulty (and same messages)and I finally tracked it down to a hardware problem (at least in my case!) I was using an old (used and cheap) hub with a connectivity max of 10 meg. When I upgraded to a 100 meg hub the problem went away. And my LAN is now quick as a deer!

Make sure your computers have network cards. You can directly plug them together with an ethernet cable. Use Windows networking features from there.\n\nDo some google searching if you get stuck.\n\nThere are more elaborate ways of networking computers too.

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

Wowo \n\nI cant belive you are using that , well , it realy all comes down too, the nic card you have and the config of your windows system , but wowow please let me know why you are using this kind of networking protocol ??

No. If you're using a network workstation, then talk to the network administrator.

get a 5 port 10/100/1000 gigabit NIC\njust so you can be leet and suck up all your LANs bandwidth

I am not sure you have asked a question.\nPlease check your grammatical structure and try to rephrase the question. Include more detail, like a d-link WHAT (router, wireless card, Ethernet card, etc)
