    Default Thnikk's networking corner.

    In this thread, I'll do my best to answer any networking questions you may have. Based on the fact that I have young kids that are becoming computer literate faster than I thought they would, this will help all of us protect our children from the places that we would rather not have them go.

    I will also be happy to answer non-spy on your children's network activity networking topics here as well.

    For PAGS:

    The manual for your router can be accessed here:
    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/...1_UG_A-WEB.pdf

    If you go to page 15 of that PDF it will give you the access restrictions instructions. Basically, what you need to do is find the MAC address of the device you want to limit (her iPod - Click Settings/General/About It's shown as the Wi-Fi Address. It should be in the format of xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx)

    Create an access policy of the times you want to allow that device to access the internet, and apply it to that mac address only. Feel free to ask questions regarding the manual if it sounds like greek.

    Gnome, I'm looking into seeing if your router is capable of what we had talked about in the other thread. Remind me if I forget to get back to you on this.

    Is it possible to set up a network so I can print a document from a laptop and it will print to a non-wireless printer that is not wired to the laptop?

    It sure is. Is the printer connected to a computer that is on the network? If so, just share the printer from the computer that it is connected to, and then install that printer on your laptop.

    What's the Operating systems of the two computers, and I'll get you some details.

    Is it possible to wirekessky scan a document from a laptop. I can tirelessly print to it but for scanning it says I need USB. It would be wonderful to not have to disconnect my lap each time and move it over to the scanner to scan
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    It is possible, but you need the right equipment to do so. I've been able to do so from my wireless printer, but not from a scanner that I had hooked up to another computer, or a wireless print server.

    Windows 7 home premium on one and XP on the other.

    Awesome thread. I have a question for you.
    Maybe a couple.

    I have an HP Touchsmart Laptop. The hardrive crashed a couple years ago and someone fixed it for me. It had vista and he installed 7. I have all of the drivers that I need through HP's website. But it's like I don't have the actual program. I had something called MediaSmart (I think it was called). It was used for playing a DVD, using webcam, music, etc. I have the driver for all that but it doesn't show up on my computer. Also. I have a fingerprint scanner. I installed the driver for it also. I installed the fingerprint program that it used as well (Digital Persona). But when I go to use it, it says it isn't plugged in or the driver is out of date. But the driver is correct. Any advice?



    One more:
    I am considering an HP touchpad. I only plan on using it for Netflix and watching movies etc. Simple stuff. I'm not worried about apps. Any thoughts on the Touchpad?
    Also, can I install other operating systems on it? Such as windows 7?

    These aren't networking questions, but I'll do my best to answer them.

    RTFM. Thank you.

    For the Mediasmart software, you may want to see if its an available download for your laptop on HP's site. That's a little too propitiatory to get into. If you want something to play music and DVDs, I suggest VLC for all of your video needs and xmmx or foobar2000 for mp3s. For the fingerprint software, again, I don't know enough about your hardware to really help. Check HP's website for updated drivers, and go from there. Google is going to be your best friend getting that one figured out.

    As far as the HP touchpad goes, the archatecture won't support something like windows 7. I know that many have been able to get Android 4.0 installed on that device, and there are tons of apps for that. Again, Google.

    Thanks Thnik! I told my wife last night that I was going to do this over the weekend. I'll let you know if I need further assistance. This time I'll write down my username and password though

    Yeah, let me know how it works for you. I've got to put all of these things I learned as a Network Admin for good use somewhere.

    Thnikk, what do you know about the different brands and models of routers?
    I have had some trouble with what I need. My office is in an 8x30 trailer,
    and the main computer is hardwired into the router. A laptop is often WIFI'd
    from the other end.

    The problem is, I'm having trouble gaining compatibility for my Nettalk
    adapter, which is hardwired to the router.

    I've found that dLink stinks, but I haven't found anything that is really
    good, IMO. Or is it that I just don't know how to set the router?
