hub does not have any such options it got to be your router that u can ping

you should be able to do a remote desktop, or use www.gotomypc.com, that is what I use when I travel for business to connect to our server.  Hope this helps

yes, or set up a router to automatically assign ip addresses as the computers connect. good luck.

You can use the free remote control offering from LogMeIn.com [ http://www.logmein.com ] \n\nI signed up about a month ago and it works really well. It requires no configuration of your firewall as it uses an agent to talk to their server. When you are away from home you go to their web site, log in, and click on the computer name you registered with their site to launch the remote control of that PC.\n\nHard to explain well if you haven't see it so check it out.\n\nPS - I do not work for this company, I just use their product. I liked it so much I subscribed to their pay service which is very rare for me.\n\nI think you'll be very pleased with this solution.\n\nGood luck.

Get an application based firewall like zonealarm. \nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/

that ip address might be a linksys router, for a home wireless network, or some other type of secure server, have you tried to ping it from a CMD promt

You can use 192.168.1.254 in the address bar. This should open the home portal. You can make changes to the settings here as well.

i have the bt home hub,and the problem at the moment they have released the home hub too quickly,as there are loads of hubs defective ,and even the hub phone had a problem with its design\n         however your problem seems to be a firewall setting stopping you connecting to the internet,its a simple remedy,go to the firewall option in the control panel and then to the exceptions tab,were you should tick the box were the name of the application is,then press ok\n          some applications that need internet access give you the option to block or unblock at the set up of the program,but some you need to do manually\n           you should also check with anyone else you know who uses this application to check wether its the server itself and not your p.c,s firewall\n            good luck

change the DNS server you are using. It is not responding properly

You could ping it offcourse. Just type "ping hostname" into the console/prompt.

This is in your IPB settings, probably where you tell it where to send users when they click the home button.

Use a proxy server. You can set amount and time. You can also stop access.

No, you do not a hub if you have a router. Sounds like the setup you have is correct: Cable modem ->router -> computers 1 and 2.

Well the above 2 answers good and enough for you. But in addition u can also set the firewall on.
