Can I get two wireless routers to communicate in the same house?

Hi there,
Here's my problem.
BT (a UK telecoms company) upgraded the household telephone line to fibre optic broadband on Friday and installed their BT Home Hub router and ADSL2+ modem. However, although this is a great upgrade for the household, this has given me a heap of problems.
Previously, my Time Capsule (TC) did everything:
it handled the link to the ADSL modem that routed all the wired and wireless household traffic to the internet (there are three wireless enabled PCs in the household too)
handled the printer via USB from the TC
backed up my Mac data to the TC via wired and wireless and allowed me to transfer files between my Macs.
However, as it stands right now, since the upgrade my MacBook Pro and iPhone will connect to the Internet via the BT Home Hub and that's it.However, I think there is a great opportunity here to isolate my office/study network from the household (a sub network?); but, I have no idea how to set up the TC to accomplish this or whether this is even possible.
I have:
An Apple Time Capsule
A Mac Pro without wireless capability that connects to my TC via ethernet cable
A 13" MacBook Pro that connects to the TC via wireless
A HP printer that connects to the TC via USB cable
Also, I might need to add a Drobo NAS drive via ethernet cable
Both Macs run Lion; the firmware and software for AE/TC are up to date.
So, is there anyway that I can maintain my setup but simply use the TC as a wireless transmitter/receiver to and from the BT Home Hub for Internet traffic but keep everything else within my own network? I should also add that the BT Home Hub ended up being located downstairs and my office/study is upstairs so hard wiring the two isn't an option. The only way I can achieve my needs is to have the two routers communicating wirelessly.
To complicate matters further, I am a complete networking ignoramus - in fact I don't know what networking terminology I should be researching to accomplish this; but, if anyone can provide an answer or point me in the right direction, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks in advance

Update: As I understand it, what I want is to configure my Time Capsule as a wireless bridge. This seems easy to do if your main base station is an Apple device, but I haven't found anything that allows you to configure the Time Capsule as a wireless bridge when the main router is not an Apple device. Any suggestions?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

You cannot - the "Buy Calendar" button is only available, while viewing one calendar. You can order more than one copy of the same calendar on one order, however.

Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration

Hi All,
Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration done in NACE. or it is language specific.
They have symbols which have values both in german and english. But when we run the transaction we are getting the output only in german language.We want the out put in english
language.
Thanks in Advance.

A Smartform can be maintained in many languages other than the language that it is created. Translations for the texts have to be maintained for this purpose.
To maintain the translations:
Go to transaction SE63 in R/3.
Go to menu Translation->R/3 Enterprise->Other Long Texts
Select the object type in the pop up. Smartform(SSF) object type is found under Forms and Styles(FS).
Enter the name of the Smart form and choose the source and target language. This would open a screen with the Smartform code in Source language on the top and an editor with the same code in the bottom.
Find the text for which you need to maintain the translation and insert the translation in that place. As usual after required texts are maintained Save and Activate.
To see the translated Smartform create an output type and assign the smartform and the driver program to this output type. In the transaction that sends output to this smartform, select the output type and select the language in which the smartform has to be displayed (translations have to be maintained in this lanuage).This will give the smartform in the required language.

Mac Pro can't running two fire wire hard disks at the same time .

Mac Pro can’t running any two fire wire hard disks at the same time . which two hard disks have extra power from power socket . If i just insert one of them .No problem . If connect two Hds at the same time. Leopard cant find it and the Hds seem no problem. the machine must be restarted and then use one . No problem . I have formated the HD many times .even if which format is Fat 32 or Mac issue persists .Boot from installation CD used the disk utility . Issue stills . If i used one fire wire HD that get power from power socket and used one fire wire device . Leopard was no problem during this time . Whether is this design problem or my machine hardware problem?My Mac has been changed the logic board by Apple service . Do you have similar case in here????

I connect both hard disks that get power from power supply normally. Also have ever changed the format as GUID. Which always use the power cord . I felt confusion why the issue just happened connect both hard disks with extra power at the same time. If i used one hard disk connect to firewire port . Another firewire port connect other firewire device . No problem at all.

Can I have two active versions of JRE on the same PC?

Some one please advice me if I can keep two different versions of JRE on the same PC running under Win NT. I have to use one version(1.2.2) of JRE for running an application and a later version(1.3) for running some other applications.
I tried to install both and when I checked the registry entries, only one verion seems to be active at a time. Is there any workaround?
thanx,
Anoop.

Multiversion support is available in JDK 1.4.
You can download JRE 1.4 Beta 3 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4
and test this functionality.
The following url discusses this topic in detail with a mix of version 1.3 and 1.4 examples. Similarly, you can have a mix of version
1.2 and 1.4 also for your needs.

Can't print TWO 5 x 7 photos on the same page!

I recently updated from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 10 and now I cannot print TWO 5x7 photo's on the same page, letter size photo paper! I've never had this problem before! Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried everything! Thanks Julie

Hatstead, I've already tried that and two 5 x 7's will not show up on the preview screen! I'm pretty familiar with all the printing preferences and have tried every concievable option to try and print two 5 x 7's to the same page. I can go back to my version 7 Photoshop Elements ( havent uninstalled it yet) and print two 5 x 7 photos to the same page with no problem! I'm really beginning to believe that version 10 does not support printing more than one photo to a page even when you want to print say a bunch of 2 x 3's to the same page. Even when i try to print one of the picture packages it will only print one pic to a page at a time!!!! Something can't be right! I only print two 5 x7's to a page 95% of the time, so this is a HUGH problem for me! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Can\'t get both rom drives to work at the same time

HI I just finished building my new system with the MSI 6585 and everything works well EXCEPT my two roms drives. I can get one to work or the other to work but not both at the same time.

I tried setting them both on cable select. If I try to boot with both of them hooked up the computer refuses to boot past post . Can anyone give me any suggestions please?

Can you have two iphones with separate iclouds on the same itunes account, can you have two iphones with separate iclouds on the same itunes account

I have one itunes account with mulitple libraries for each device (one iphone, 4 ipods). The one iphone is connected via the cloud. everytime a new song or app is added to the account it is placed in all of the libraries. I want to add another iphone to the acccount when I tried it replaced the contacts with the contacts on the iphone already on the account. How do I prevent that from happening and can I have two iphones on the same account and use the cloud on both
thanks

iTunes will remember the settings for each device after you set them up for the first time.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer -> Method two

How can I get iTunes to not show multiples of the same podcasts in my iPhone?

Not all, but some have the same episdoe multiple times. Every sync seems to add another one of them. This happens, through iTunes, in my iPhone 5. In iTunes, I show that I have 69 unplayed podcasts. When I sync, I can see it got to 68 for my phone (likely one is in the cloud), but then it flashes and now it shows 113. When I look at the unplayed podcasts, I show that some of them have as many as 17 of the same episode in my phone. When I go to my phone's podcast app, I see it once.
It doesn't happen to all episodes, and I can't find anything in common between those that it does happen to. The newest update to the podcast app and itunes brought back some features that have been missing for over a year, but this is getting weird.
iTunes 11.2.1 (1)
IOS 7.1.1

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

Can I install two independent instances of Thunderbird on the same machine?

It is required to install two instances of Thunderbird on the same machine, each with its own account(s), Profiles folder(s) and sign-on password, so that each of two users can securely use Thunderbird at different times..
How can this be achieved?
Thanks,
NMB1

The simplest method is to install Thunderdird normally from an admin account. The two or more users then use ordinary none admin accounts. Thunderbird will be available to each user and each OS account has a separate Thunderbird profile, so each user has effectively totally separate Thunderird accounts and passwords.

Can I have two identical PCs with clones of the same hard drive?

This all started when I had a problem with my first pc, a gateway laptop, would not wake up from sleep due to, supposedly, a driver problem. I didn't want to send it off for my free, under-warrantee, repair and be without a computer for however long that
would take. So I bought another one and took it to a local dealer to clone the hard drive of the first one to put on the new one.
This created a number of odd problems which eventually I figured out had something to do, it seemed, with Microsoft not allowing two identical machines to exist like that. I only plan to use one, the other one being exclusively for backup or in case something
happened to the first. But I think the problems occurred when I tried to switch back and forth, to do some texting.
Is there a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks.

Until Windows 7, it was possible to use two identical PCs with same clone. Provided, both the PCs must be legally licensed to use the Windows operating system (version as well as edition) and of same OEM, model and spec. This is possible because, the product
keys are common for all the PCs of same OEM build (if preinstalled, and the installed product key is different from the one mentioned in COA). This made OEM builders to distribute to more PCs than the license agreement, which is impossible for Microsoft to
find out. To solve this issue, Microsoft changed the licensing structure from Windows 8 - embedding the product key in BIOS. So, here, only the installation is provided and the product keys are not common for all the PCs even if they are of the same OEM build.
Therefore, cloning fails here. And naturally, as Team Zigzag and EC Ltd say, same product key can't be used for more than one PC.
As to restore the PC in case of an emergency, you can perform a backup of the existing installed software and user files, which can be restored later (File History in Windows 8). The following links may be helpful:
