How can I set a home network behind a wireless linksys router

The XP wizard for 'setup a home or small office network' doesn't seem to work when I'm behind the router (it used to work before I had a router - back then I worked with a product called 'access point' which was connected to a second network card on my desktop).
My layout is normal, I think. Here are the links:
modem -- ADSL
modem -- router
desktop -- router
laptop -- router (through wireless).
I have internet on both computers. The only thing I cannot do is make one computer find the other.
Anyone knows what should I do ?
Thanks,
Ofer

Make sure both computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled. Also make sure both computers have the same workgroup name. Temporarily disable any software firewalls, such as Norton or McAfee, and see if the computers can see each other.

How can I set the home page in iPad safari?

Opening Safari, the screen shows the last page used. Is it possible to set a home page so that, for example, Sfari always opens with the Google search page?

Safari doesn't have a homepage as such, but you can create a homescreen shortcut for a particular page : go to the page that you want and then tap the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to the left of the URL address field and you should get an option to 'Add To Home Screen'. You can then just tap shortcut on your homescreen to open Safari on that page (it will still re-open any other tabs that you had open when you closed Safari)

Can't get to home network behind WRV54G using QuickVPN

Someone please help preserve my sanity. I have a home LAN with multiple wired and wireless W2K computers on a WRV54G. I have the QuickVPN client on my W2K laptop. I have a static WAN address.
I can remotely connect to the WRV54G using QuickVPN with no problems at all. The connection seems to be able to stay up indefinately and I can remotely administer the WRV54G and access all functionality. I can even ping all of the computers on my LAN from the remote connection with great response times.
What I cannot do is "see" any of the computers on the LAN from the remote connection. I cannot map to any of the shared drives on the LAN either using machine names or IP addresses. I have repeatedly attempted to try different settings on the router's VPN setup and I have created user accouonts on the LAN machines for my remote login name and password. Still no joy. This is driving me nuts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Brickmonkey,
I'm afraid I don't know how to find the answer you are referring to. I tride th url you referenced, but linksys says it doesn't exist. Sorry if I'm a little slow .....

How can I set up my iPad to work wirelessly in New Zealand?

We are going to stay at our parent's place in New Zealand, and they have only a very slow dial-up connection to the internet.
We want to take our Apple iPad 4, MacBook 4.1.1 and iPhone 4 and use them wirelessly while we are there.
Last time we used the macBook to connect, but it was so maddeningly slow and we had to disconnect their phone, and feel there must be a better way.
Does anyone know how we can log on via the ipad without having to go up to the local library?

You need the first Internet connection in order to share another connection with the other devices. If you use the Mac and Internet Sharing, then the connection is only going to be as fast as that connection and maybe a little slower since you are all sharing that connection.
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as the saying goes, you cannot speed up the connection by any magical means.
You should be able to use the personal hotspot feature on the phone if the carriers there support it.

You might want to look into a MIFI hotspot as well but once again, you would need some sort of plan for it in New Zealand.

How can I set up my iTunes so I can listen to it at work and at home - same library.

How can I set up my iTunes so I can listen to it at work and at home - same library.

Put a copy of the whole library on a flash drive.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
I don't know if there is a Windows equivalent of the below:
Slink ($25) - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slink/id402358338?mt=12 - "Slink is the easy way to remotely access your home network. Listen to your iTunes music and watch your movies from anywhere, get the files from your home Mac or Time Capsule that you forgot to bring with you on the road, or help your parents or kids out using remote screen sharing.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

How can I set up firefox home on my iPhone without a desktop

How can I set up the Firefox Home App on my iPhone without using a desktop computer and without having to sync it, too?
My home computers are not functioning right now, but Firefox is my favorite browser.
Can someone help me get it working on my iPhone?

Actually, there is no version of Firefox for the iPhone. Firefox Home is a helper app to sync certain data to your iPhone.
More info on Apple vs. third party browsers: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925084 Why isn't Mozilla Firefox available on the MOST SELLED and MOST WISHED tablet on the market? The iPad! I mean, Firefox home is not even an universal app.]

How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

HOW CAN I SET TIHE NETWORK TIME BECAUSE IT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO SING IN

HOW CAN I SET TIHE NETWORK TIME in the apple tv BECAUSE IT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO SING IN

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Time and date should be set automatically by the network time server. There has been a number of posts reporting this problem. Solutions have involved:
Restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a few moments.
Restoring the Apple TV.
Opening port 123 on the router.
Ensuring the DNS address on both the router and the Apple TV are those provided by your ISP.
