How can i access the internet using a non-wireless...

Before upgrading my BT broadband to BT Infinity, I was able to connect my two desktop PC's to the BTHUB2 without a problem. One of them is running Windows 7 and has a wireless connection, the other is running Windows XP and does not have a wireless adapter but it was connected by an ethernet cable to the BTHub2 which was portable and could therefore be plugged into any of the telephone sockets that were positioned around the house.
Unfortunately, since upgrading to the BTHub3 which is not portable, the Windows XP PC is too far away to connect using an ethernet cable and it is impractical to move it closer to the hub.
I'm happy with the position of the hub and do not wish to move it, so I need to consider other options.
As both PC's are in the same room, I understand that it is possible to link them with a Lan cable, and this will enable me to add the XP PC to my home network.
What I would like to know is what cable I need. (ie. what do I ask for) ? Is it an ethernet crossover cable ?
I'm sure that other BT Infinity users must have experienced a similar problem with older non-wireless equipment that is not in close proximity to the hub. I would be grateful for any advice that may help me to find the best solution to the problem.

Thank you for confirming that a LAN and ethernet connection are the same thing. I have tried linking the two PC's with an ethernet cable and I've read so many articles on how to configure them both to enable the XP computer to connect to the internet via the WIN7 computer and it's wireless connection to the BTHub3, but I'm afraid that I'm now more confused than when I started.
It should be possible to do so, but unless someone can explain the correct procedure in step-by-step fashion, I don't think that I will ever find the solution using this method.
Using a power line solution sounds like a simpler solution, but even that raises more questions.
Just to clarify the problem as I understand it -
The BT Hub is static and positioned in the hallway.
Both PC's are in the same upstairs room.
The room has a telephone socket on an extension which works with a telephone. There are also power sockets available.
I already have a home network set up with the WIN7 wireless PC as the host.
I have wireless devices connected to the home network that are working perfectly (eg. HDTV,Xbox360, Laptop), but can I heck figure out how to connect the WIN XP to the home network.
I have managed to connect it directly to the Hub using an ethernet cable, but it involved carrying it downstairs into the hall and plugging the ethernet cable directly into the hub, and although this worked a treat, I need the PC to be upstairs.
Using a long ethernet cable is not an option either I'm afraid. Apart from the untidiness, I believe that it would seriously reduce the speed of the BT Infinity connection, which is also the reason that BT do not recommend plugging the hub into a telephone extension socket.
So far, using the ethernet cable between the two PC's and using the Networking Connection Wizard on the XP PC, I have tried connecting using the local area network with limited success. The STATUS window shows that it is connected with a speed of 100.0 Mbps, but the ACTIVITY only shows that there are packets being sent, none received. Also, clicking on Internet Explorer brings up a window stating that no connection to the internet is avalable.
However, my initial optimism that this at least indicated that progress had been made quickly disappeared after adding the   XP machine as a device to my Homegroup on the WIN7 PC. The local area connection STATUS window on the WIN7 PC shows the media state as 'enabled' and 'speed 100.0 Mbps', but again it only shows that packets are being sent and none received. Furthermore, IPv4 connectivity is showing 'no internet access' and IPv6 connectivity shows 'no network access'.
I've tried running Windows Network Diagnostics and the troubleshooter stated that the Local Area Connection does not have a valid IP configuration. Here is the troubleshooting report:
Issues found:

I've also tried configuring the above properties by ticking the box 'Automatically detect settings', but it reports no connectivity. I haven't tried the third available configuration option which is 'using a proxy server', because I don't know if it is relevant or not and it is asking me to input an 'address' and 'port' ?
Any solution ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I can't access the internet from my home wi-fi. It works on other wi-fi, and my wi fi is working on my h ome computer. I keep getting a message that says it can't access the server

I can't access the internet using my home wi-fi. My wi-fi is working on my home computer, and the itouch can access the internet at another person's home using their wi-fi. I've looked in the settings, and can't seem to see any differences.....i'm a techno dummy - so please respond in very basic info

Before resetting try restarting. Or you can go to Settings from the home screen > Wi-Fi > your network and scroll down to 'Renew Lease' and press that. When you do you should see a button labeled 'Renew Lease?' and another labeled 'Cancel'. Select 'Renew Lease'.
You can either back out of that screen back to the home screen or just use the return button to go back to the home screen. Then select Safari and see if you can hook in.
I have to go through that process every five or ten minutes or so when in the second story of our house - weak router signal up there.

I haven't been able to access the internet using Firefox for over a week. What is causing this? Is there an issue with Firefox?

I can't access the internet using Firefox. My internet connection is working perfectly fine as I can access the internet using internet explorer. I don't feel safe using internet explorer and prefer Firefox. Please help!

See --> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]
Your firewall may not recognize the new version of Firefox; it is just doing its job. You may need to remove references to Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list, then try to go to any website, let your firewall detect the new version of Firefox, and give Firefox the permissions needed by your firewall to access the internet.

Networks will "connect" over Wifi, but DNS resolution is impossible and I can't access the internet.

My OSX 10.7.5 iMac (late 2011) will connect to my university's wireless network and thinks it's connected to the internet, but cannot resolve any DNS - and cannot actually access the internet on any browser or internet-utilising app. My university has 2 networks, a regular wifi one and an eduroam one. I have the same problem on both networks. My MacBook, running Snow Leopard, and my iPad (latest software) both connect to both networks just fine.
Because it's my university's network, i can't reset my router or anything like that. I'm in halls. I don't think it's a network issue, because all my other devices are fine.
I've searched high and low on these forums but haven't found anyone having exactly the same problem as me - I've heard of odd few minutes of people losing their connections in this manner, but my computer's been down now for hours and nothing. I've restarted it many times, even once in "Recovery Mode" and I'm getting nothing. I've followed instructions to flush my DNS cache, renew DHCP leases, I've tried manually inputting various DNSes I've found (eg the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google ones), none of which have worked.
Using terminal, I can't ping either an http:// domain, or an IP address. Both get "timed out" as a response. I can't access the internet on any browser (chrome, safari, firefox), my google mail notifier, Skype, or my twitter app. Or anything else.
I'm relatively computer literate, but I'm not particularly code-savvy, so I'd really appreciate it if I could get some step-by step help on here, bearing in mind what I've already tried. I'm really worried, because it all seems to have happened completely out of the blue. Last time I updated was some time a couple weeks ago; I update whenever my software update beeps at me.
Thanks.

Go step by step and test.
1.Power Cycle
   Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
   Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
   It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

HT1222 Since downloading the IOS7 I can't access the internet via a wifi. I would like to remove it, is it possible? I have the ipad2

Sorry, no. Apple does not support downgrading.
Have you tried to go into your settings, reset, reset network settings? It'll erase your current network from your iPad and let you start over.

I can't access the internet with IE 11 on my PC so I would like to download Firefox on my laptop and install it on my PC. I've been using Firefox on my laptop.

I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop and would like to install it on my PC because Internet Explorer 11 stopped working. I can't access the internet so I downloaded the Firefox setup on my laptop and saved it to run on my PC. It initializes, but can't connect to the internet to retrieve the program. How can I get around this and install your browser?

Download one of these installers: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you machine can't connect to the internet to even download that though, you may have other problems (Using Firefox rather than IE is always a good choice though ;)
[[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] might help. Also, [[Firefox and other browsers can't load websites]]

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

You must have a valid form of payment for the app store in the country you are using. Most app stores are separate legal entities to comply with local laws. It is possible to have an account without a credit card, however; see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Can I access the internet on my smart TV USING APPLE TV

I HAVE A IMAC AND A MACBOOK PRO. I WOULD LIKE TO ACCESS THE INTERNET USING MY APPLE TV (3RD GENERATION) ON A SAMSUNG SMART TV
Can I do this?

The Apple Tv does not have a web browser. So no direct access to websites or the like. It can use its Apps to access internet based content such as Youtube through the Youtube App, Netflix etc...
With that said, if your TV is a Smart Tv then its already capable of accessing the internet on its own. The entire point of being smart is that it can access the internet.
What exactly do you want to accomplish, because the question is not very clear.
Also please don't write everything in capital letters, its considered shouting and rude.

I can no longer use my iPad 3 since downloading IOS 7. I can't access the internet, can't get into the app store, or itunes. Can't download anything or receive or send e-mails. Not happy. Wish I had waited.

TS1398 I have connected my iPad 2 to my Mac Air over blue tooth. Booth say they are connected to each other. But I can not access the internet on the IPAD. I can connect over blue tooth from my iPhone to my iPad with no issue. Any thoughts? Thank you

I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank you

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!
