How do I connect a laptop to a network after a router upgrade?

Posted: January 6th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: laptops | Tags: , , , , , , | 2 Comments »

So I went ahead with my original plan. I did a router upgrade.
My Win 7 laptop – perfect connection, maybe better than before!
My XP desktop PC, good connection, could be better.
My sister’s Vista – only google works. Full signal. Under attached devices, her laptop is there. I have restarted the laptop twice, and pulled out and inserted the power lead to the router multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

Next year, I want to buy a laptop someday. I want a laptop that can be useful for working for my college, and playing PC games, like Star Wars the Old Republic. I want to play that game, but I don’t think my desktop PC meets the system requirement to play it. Can someone give me a good tip please?

I have an HP Pavilion Laptop & I am already networked wirelessly to my dads Desktop PC. I want to be able to use the printer on my laptop. I know that you can. I just have no idea how to go about it. Does anybody have any input or advice on how to do this?

How to get laptop to see desktop and its resources?

Posted: February 25th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: laptops | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 2 Comments »

I bought a laptop and am trying to make it so that I can share files between the desktop and the laptop, and also print from the laptop directly to the printer that’s connected to the desktop.

I had a working LAN already with the printer sharing working fine.

Here is the setup:

A cable modem, connected to a linksys router, which has wifi enabled but also is connected via ethernet cable to the desktop PC (windows xp). The laptop (Vista) can connect to the wireless network just fine but cannot see the desktop and therefore use any of its resources. The router assigns IPs to both comps just fine w/ dhcp and both comps can get online. Just can’t talk to each other for some reason.
