Connecting a 2nd pc to humehub wired

hi , ive a bt home hu 2.0 and my pc is on windows xp,is it possible to connect the kids pc in there room to my router via a cable to the home hub in one the the ethernet ports at the back?or is it not as simple as that?
cheers johnb

As everyone says it is that simple. Please remember that the maximum cable run from the home hub to the PC must not exceed 90 metres.
Also remember to enable the network on your children's PC. This may already be done and just waiting for the Ethenet connection. If not it is in the control panel under network.
If you are going wireless it depends on where your home hub is located. In most houses signal loss between rooms, or downstairs to upstairs, will incur a 10 to 30% signal loss. Still well within what you would need as the current Broadband speeds are lower then transfer speed even with these signal losses.

Connecting a 2nd laptop to wireless router

Hi, Everyone - I have my Mac desktop connected to a WRT54GS wireless router, as well as a Dell laptop connected. All is working fine up till now...
Now I'm trying to connect a 2nd Dell laptop but can't get it to connect! It detects the network, but when you click on "connect" it says "acquiring connection" but then it gives an error saying something about limited access. It is a secured network, BTW.
How can I get this 2nd computer connected?
I also noticed something called "Default Tx Key" which is set to 1 - this key is what the 1st laptop is using. How do I get the 2nd one to be available - if I click on #2 for the default key, it disables #1.
What do I need to do?!! Thanks so much!

use the same key for ALL wireless devices, it is a shared key. so the key for #1 is used on ALL of the laptops.

Connecting a 2nd ipod

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I own 2 fifth generation ipods and i am just now trying to connect my 2nd one. my computer recognizes the new ipod hardware but asks to install software. I did all this when I conected my first ipod 2 years ago! Why would it not just automatically sync or connect with itunes? How do you add another ipod to the same computer?

Is Windows telling you to install the software or is iTunes?

Connecting a 2nd display

HI,
I have a Mac Pro, circa Dec 07 (therefore no mini display port) and currently use a 23" cinema display. I want to attach another identical display and assume I can do this via the other (spare) DVI port at the back of the Mac?
However, my main monitor has the firewire and USB cables plugged into the tower which come cabled along with the DVI cable, but when connecting the 2nd display can I just connect the DVI cable into the Mac Pro and not bother with the firewire and USB cable which are bound with it?
Obviously I understand that using the firewire and USB cable from the first display increases my available ports (at the rear of the first display)... but do I really need to connect those with the 2nd display, because I'm running out of ports at the back of the Mac!
Hope that makes sense...
Thanks,
Mark

One thing that's occured to me, somebody might know...
I calibrate my main monitor, so when the second display is either being mirrored, or just an extension of the desktop, I guess the existing calibration is sufficient as the main display calls the shots?
Or am I wrong, should both be calibrated as separate displays prior to using them together?
Thanks to anybody who can help...

Connecting two WRT54GS to the same (wired) router (non-linksys)

Due to some security issue I have to connect two WRT54GS to the same wired router.
Do I connect the first WRT54GS to one port of the router and the second one to another port?
And is the connection on the WRT the ethernetport or the internetport?
And can I reach both the configuration screens or do I have to change the
adress of one of them to e.g. 192.168.1.2 ?
Regards,
hENK.

I will suggest you to connect the LAN port of wired router to LAN ports of both WRT54GS ........ Th connectino to WRT54GS is Ethernet Port ......
Regarding the Ip address of WRT54GS ..... change the Ip address of first wireless router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 ........make the DHCP service disabled ....
For the other router the Ip address would be 192.168.1.3 ...... DHCP service again disabled .........
For accessing the set up page of both router use the new Local Ip address.........on the explorer address bar ......

Connect a 2nd ide hdd with a sata hdd

I was triying to connect a 2nd ide hard disk [mobo k7n2g] with a 160 gb sata drive and it was unabled to detect in the bios and the system didnt boot (Win xp professional). I tried as master, as slave, in both IDE and failed all the time. At the same time I have a dvd and a dvd writer and all of them works perfectly with the seral ata at the same time.
Any clue please?
Thanks

What can I do?
from the little information you posted i cant se you got the exact same problem.
it sounds like you have the wrong boot order set.
must set scsi to get it to always boot from a sata drive.
his problem is the computer does not recognize a harddrive is there
also its better if you start your own thread instead of hijack a thread.
less confusion that way.

How many wireless devices can connect to an Express which is wired and extending an Extreme network?

How many wireless devices can connect to an Express which is wired and extending an Extreme network?

That is great news I have A1392s. One more question...
If I have an Airport Extreme setup as a router and feeding internet from a modem/ I wire an express (A1392) and "create a wireless network" the airport utility puts the express into bridge mode automatically.
How many wireless clients can I connect simultaneously to the express?
How many wireless clients can I connect simultaneously to the extreme assuming I am using all 50 at the express?
In other words, Could I have 50 wireless clients connected to each device simultaneously giving me a total of 100 wireless clients?

Z97 gaming 5 motherboard-2nd PCI x16 slot wired at x8?

Hi,
I connected my gtx980 on my 2nd PCI x16 slot and GPU-Z reads as x8.However,when I connected it back to the 1st slot,it reads as x16.Would like to confirm if that's the supposed outcome or is there any BIOS configuration that I can change?
Thanks

Yes the second x16 sized slot is only wired for x8 operation. the only way a board like that could have 2 full x16 slots is if it has PLX chips but they are very costly and only get used on stuff like a X-Power model board!
so its behaving normally on yours as that is how its setup!

Connecting a 2nd Palette monitor to iMac

I have an iMac 24" 28Ghz (1Mac,8.1) and want to connect a second palette monitor to the mini DVI port, using a mini DVI to VGA connector.
A search of the forum shows issues with cursor jumping and wrong resolutions.
I really want to run my Adobe CS4 suite with the tabbed palettes on the second monitor to my right.
Is anyone doing this without issues?
Peter

Well given the huge response, I figured I'd just go ahead and warn all the vendors that they could have their stuff back promptly if it didn't work as advertised.
I bought a dead cheap 2-for at OfficeWorks. 2 Philips 160EI TFT 40cm monitors, only A$186 for both. I also got an Apple mini-DVI to VGA adaptor which has dropped in price from Apple's previous rip-off rate to A$25.
Installation was quite straight forward although the monitor looks like a dwarf next to the 24" iMac.
I installed under OSX 10.5.8 and then switched to OSX 10.6.3. Under both it was recognised immediately but defaulted for some reason to a non-native resolution, easily fixed.
I didn't need to *color manage,* that's not what it's for, but both Apple's color calibration and the on monitor controls only screwed it up so I went back to the default settings just playing a little bit with the on monitor contrast and color to try and crisp up the Finder text which still seems too soft. Apple's color calibration lead it to be way too dark. The monitor controls way too light, so factory settings is where it stays.
Visually the monitor is a tad unsharp with a visible vertical banding a little like thin corrugation. Colors are pale, about max 70-80% tint to my eye.
I was able to set separate screen backgrounds, so that I could have a pleasing black & white background to my palettes.
I tested several applications running simultaneously along with movies on both monitors. All work flawlessly so far.
I can now run tutorial DVDs on the 2nd monitor whilst keeping the application to which it refers open on the main monitor. Nice!!
*Testing palettes with Adobe CS4:* They cleverly snap to whichever of the 2nd monitors edges they are dragged to and work perfectly even sensing the real estate available on the monitor. I have set them to snap to the inside (left edge of the 2nd monitor, which is to my right). This means that for the first time the optional sub-palettes pop out to the right in reading order.
All remember their position between re-startups. No sign of flickering or any of the problems reported in the forums. That is in both Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Flicking between fullscreen view using the tab keyboard shortcut and the toolbar options has different results. Sometimes the palettes stay with the main screen in full screen view, sometimes they disappear, I'm trying to work out what combination of actions sets off what.
*Testing palettes with iWork:* They have none of Adobe's smarts but can be stacked a little awkwardly to fit. Awkward because Apple hasn't worked out how to sensibly do this and made them different sizes. However they do remember their sizes (sort of) and positions between restarts.
Pages' Outline/Fullscreen view unfortunately blacks out both monitors. I was hoping I could keep my palettes visible on the 2nd.
Overall I am very happy. I worked with 2 monitors for almost 2 decades until Apple made it both expensive and extremely awkward on several occasions. It feels very liberating to have my full workspace clear again.
OSX is one clumsy design for handling windows, despite/because of all Apple's efforts.
There is no substitute for more/separate screen real estate. So far I am one happy camper.

Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) lags since I connected a 2nd monitor - HELP!!

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2nd monitor and i have lags every 5 seconds which
last about half a second (feels like 10 or less fps during the lag).
It happens with all kinds of applications. It gets worse with multiple
applications openend at a time. The crazy thing is that it only occurs
when i start to use both monitors at the same time. When i e.g. use
Logic 9.1 and use one monitor everything runs nice and smoothely
but as soon as i move the window slowly to the 2nd monitor i can
see the window lagging while I'm moving it. This is really annoying
because it seems not every input from the mouse/keyboard gets
into the system and its not a smooth workflow at all.
I switched the monitors connections but it didn't help.
Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz 8-core
Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.2 )
6GB RAM (2x2gb kingston, and the usual 2x1gb)
ATI 2600XT and 3 HDD.
1 Monitor 24" LG W2452T running at 1920 x 1200
1 Monitor 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW running at 1680 x 1050
I really hope that you guys can help me out with this one.
What could be the problem? The ATI 2600XT should definately
be able to handle two screens at once with such little graphics
in logic 9 ?!
I want to run Logic 9 and an analyzer software (Spectre from AudiofileEngineering)
at the same time but its not possible with the LAG.
The problem/lags also occur when i sync the monitors.
Would a 2nd graphics card be a solution? But as I said
before its not a graphics demanding application.
Is it a hardware or software problem?
Summary:
- The whole System lags (not just one monitor) when
I start to use both monitors (having application windows on both).
I've got minor lags when using only one display and leave the
2nd one with the desktop wallpaper clean.
I tried:
-using only the 2x1 GB RAM which came with the mac pro
-using only the 2x2 GB Kingston RAM
Thank you in advance for your help guys!
Rick

Hey all,
I wasn't able to fix this yet.
I did everything I can think of. I even tried to wire
one monitor with a VGA cable but it didn't help.
I even have small lags when I am moving the Safari window
between the 2 monitors. Really little lags then but they
definitely are noticeable. I can make a video of that
if that would help someone understanding.
Hope there is someone out there who can help me with this.
Thanks already for any advice!
Cheers,
Rick
Edit: Do you think a new graphics card like the ATI 4870 would
help it? But I really don't want to spend more money just to
have 2 monitors while i have already 2 dvi connections on the
ati 2600XT.

Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter

I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi. The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection. I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work. I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using DHCP".
Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button

How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
Thanks =]

Here is what I would look into.
Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.
