How do I connect a Windows 2000 PC desktop to my home network (laptop mac)

Hi,
Sorry to be such a novice. I have created a wireless network with an airport express. My Macintosh laptop can connect to it without a problem and can access the internet. Next step is I want to connect my desktop PC (running Windows 2000) so that it can also connect to the internet using the wireless connection.
Do I need special equipment so the desktop can find the airport express network? How do I set it up on the PC?
Also - does anyone know the easiest way to connect a TIVO to the home network as well?
Thanks for any guidance!
-Lori

Your PC needs to have the ability to join a 802.11b/g compatible network. If it doesn't have that hardware ability, you will need to add a wireless card or wireless adapter.

  • I just bought a new iMac and I am using a apple air port router.  How do I connect mt windows PC to the air port router do I can move files

    I Just purchased a 21.5 iMac and connected it to the Internet using a apple air port router.  How do I connect my windows PC to my air port router so I can transfer files.

    It makes life easier to install the airport utility for windows.. which has a couple of different apps in it.. if you airport is new type then the utility is too old.. but is still valuable for Bonjour which provides network information for shared devices in the apple world to windows.. and a disk access agent..
    It will also help the Apple computer access shared directory in the windows computer.. nowadays this is pretty easy.

  • How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?

    I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon.  In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2.  How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
    Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.

    Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
    Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

  • Error -36 connecting to Windows 2000 Server

    I'm trying to connect to a windows 2000 server that appears in my Network browser but I can't authenticate using the Network browser or via smb://.
    I have been able to connect in the past no problem and I can login to the server on another machine using my user and password.
    I get two errors:
    If I go via Network browser I can click and get a username and password dialog box. When I enter my details and hit return I get - 'The alias (servername) could not be opened because the original could not be found'
    If I go via Connect to Server i get a "can't connect to server blah blah (-36 error)" and I can cancel or try again.
    I've searched high and low for a solution but can't find anything like this.
    I suspect I need to trash some preference or other, like you could do in OS9, but I have no idea where to start with OS X.
    Can anyone help?

    See the following article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301580
    Basically the steps are as follows:
    Follow the steps below to configure your computer to use plain text passwords to make SMB/CIFS connections when the specified Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server does not support encrypted passwords. (You must be an administrator to do these steps.)
    Make sure that you are not currently connected to any Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers and that you do not have any Samba or Windows-related error messages open.
    Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
    At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
    Press Return.
    Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again.
    You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already exists.
    Enter the following into the file so that it appears as follows:
    [default]
    minauth=none
    Save the file (press Control-O), press Return, then exit pico (Control-X).
    Type: sudo chmod a+r /etc/nsmb.conf
    Press Return.
    Restart your computer.

  • How to make IIS on Windows 7 visible from outside my home LAN

    Guidance Needed: How to make IIS on Windows 7 visible from outside my home LAN.
    I am building a learning/demo ASP.NET website on this Win7 PC, using VS2008. 
    I would like to share the website with a client/friend, so I need my local IIS to be visible from outside the home LAN.
    This PC is behind a Netgear WGR614 router, which has a static IP address assigned by my ISP. 
    I have set up port forwarding on the router; port 80 is HTTP.
    I can see the website as http://localhost/ and also as http://192.168.0.2 from other PCs inside the LAN.
    Ping works from outside, but not http.   What am I missing?

    Hi,
    Since this question is related to IIS and we have specific support for IIS related issues or questions, it is also recommended that you go to IIS Forum for help.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

    Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Please advise.

    If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
    Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
    If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.

  • Home network - How can I get Tiger & Windows 2000 to connect?

    This has been an ongoing annoyance for some time now.
    I cannot get my G4 iMac running the latest updated Tiger to connect to a PC running Win2K (home network) through a basic router and junction box.
    Both are connected to the internet (DSL) via a router, then one of those "splitter" or junction boxes (what's the right term for this thing?) -- the connection goes from the DSL outlet on the wall, to the router, then into this junction box, which then connects the iMac and the PC to the net.
    No problems with the net connection for both machines.
    Way back when I first had a different PC connected to this configuration, I COULD see the PC from the iMac, and vice versa. File sharing worked seamlessly.
    Then one day, for no good reason, the Mac could no longer "see" the PC ... but the PC could see the iMac. So I resigned myself to swapping files to and from the PC.
    Just recently, I changed internet providers for my DSL, resulting in an entirely new IP address setup for each machine. Both machines now get the net. But now NEITHER machine can see the other.
    From the Mac, I have tried:
    Clicking on the Network icon in the Finder
    Typing various different things into the window that results when I click "GO" then "Connect To Server" -- the IP address of PC, the name of the PC, etc.
    Ensuring "Windows file sharing" is engaged in the "Sharing" window of the System Preferences
    Ensuring "Appleshare" is on
    Ensuring the firewall allows traffic with windows file sharing
    From the PC I have tried:
    Ensuring the main drive is shared
    Installed every network sharing device I could (TCP/IP, etc)
    From the "My Network Places" window, tried "adding a new network place" (iMac doesn't show up)
    Clicking on the "Computers Near Me" icon (nothing but the PC itself shows up)
    Clicking on the "Add Network Place" icon (cannot find the iMac no matter what I type into the window, or when I click "Browse")
    Why is this so difficult? Why won't it work now when it did before? Why has the machine-to-machine capability of seeing each other steadily degenerated over time?
    I know I can go out and buy "Dave" to possibly get this working ... but I shouldn't have to, Tiger has been touted as the most amazing networking thing yet. And, it worked before.
    Is there a way to run a diagnostic on the networking function of Tiger? Could it have possibly been damaged?
    Any suggestions?

    This has been an ongoing annoyance for some time
    now.
    I cannot get my G4 iMac running the latest updated
    Tiger to connect to a PC running Win2K (home network)
    through a basic router and junction box.
    Both are connected to the internet (DSL) via a
    router, then one of those "splitter" or junction
    boxes (what's the right term for this thing?)
    you could mean a hub or a switch, but how many ports does your router have?
    the connection goes from the DSL outlet on the wall, to
    the router, then into this junction box, which then
    connects the iMac and the PC to the net.
    No problems with the net connection for both
    machines.
    Way back when I first had a different PC connected to
    this configuration, I COULD see the PC from the iMac,
    and vice versa. File sharing worked seamlessly.
    Then one day, for no good reason, the Mac could no
    longer "see" the PC ... but the PC could see the

    DSL, resulting in an entirely new IP address setup
    for each machine. Both machines now get the net. But
    now NEITHER machine can see the other.
    This is not normal your internal ip addresses would remain the same even if when you change your ISP.
    From the Mac, I have tried:
    Clicking on the Network icon in the Finder
    Typing various different things into the window that
    results when I click "GO" then "Connect To Server" --
    the IP address of PC, the name of the PC, etc.

    Why is this so difficult? Why won't it work now when
    it did before? Why has the machine-to-machine
    capability of seeing each other steadily degenerated
    over time?
    It sounds to me your network needs to be troubleshooted before we can answer that.
    I know I can go out and buy "Dave" to possibly get
    this working ... but I shouldn't have to, Tiger has
    been touted as the most amazing networking thing yet.
    And, it worked before.
    You don't need Dave at all. Samba is the pc filesharing protocol and that is built into Tiger.
    Is there a way to run a diagnostic on the networking
    function of Tiger? Could it have possibly been
    damaged?
    Yes there is away to diagnose your problem we can work on that.
    Any suggestions?
    What is the make and model of your dsl modem?
    What is the make and model of your router? What is the make and model of the box your refer to as splitter.
    Also goto the network preferces of your mac and post back what your ip address is and what router ip address you have.
    On your pc goto the start menu, click run, enter the work 'command' press enter.
    In the dos window type
    ipconfig
    press enter
    and post back the results.

  • How can I connect to windows vpn

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect to a Windows VPN through my macbook air running Lion. Anyone know how?

    I was struggling with this for a few days as well!  Finally got it working though ! YAY !
    Here are the steps:
    1. Add this to your registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PolicyAgent]
    "AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002
    2. Open secpol.msc (click start > search for secpol.msc)
    - Local Policies > Security Options
    - Network Security : LAN Manager Auth Level…
    - Set to: Send LM & NTLMv2 - UseNTLMv2…
    And
    - Network Security : Minimum session security… clients
    - uncheck "Require 128-bit encryption"
    3. Restart PC
    4. Create VPN Connection on Windows 7
    - Host Name: (server IP or yourhost.name.com)
    - PPP Settings : Enable LCP (only)
    - Type: L2TP/IPSec
    - Pre-shared key : yoursharedsecret
    - Data encryption : Optional encryption
    - Allow CHAO and CHAPv2
    5. Router on server-side must allow VPN Passthrough and forward ports: 50, 51, 500, 548, 1701, 1723, 4500 to the server box. Also, do not filter anonymous internet requests, multicast or NAT Redirection but enable SPI Firewall.
    ...now you should be good to go
