How to share broadband internet connection on Satellite A200-1VG

Hi,
I am very new to the world of laptops, 3 days old. In fact, I have a desktop (the OS is XP professional) and have just bought my self a Satellite A200-1VG (the OS is Vista).
I believe it is possible for 2 machines to share a broadband connection, but how I do not know. I must confess to being quite ignorant when it comes to technology ( you have probably gathered that by now) and I ask that any advice given will be given in not too technological language.
Thanks in advance from a newbie.

Okay, firstly some routers or mdoems come with 2 ports on the back so you can connect two different computers so simply plug them both in
if not, then i advise you buy a router which allows you to add numerous computers to the same network via wires or add numerous computers wirelessly
i have one computer connect to my netgear router -wired
i have one computer wirelessly connected with a Netgear USB wireless reciever
then i got my laptop which is connected via wireless
i have xbox live which i connect to the internet via my laptops wireless connection, this can be done with any pc or laptop aswell
what you do is
wireless networks - where it showws any detected networks
change advanced options - on the side
advanced tab
then allow other computers to use this computers internet connection
simple as
all you do is plug in your other pc or whatever

  • How to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone ?

    Hi guys, Do you know how to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone. I have already made my own network, and I allowed sharing Internet , but it didn't work. Can you help me , please?

    If your carrier provides the service, go to Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot.  If you don't see the Personal Hotspot option, then your carrier does not support it.
    Note that you'll have to pay for a 'tethering' data plan on top of your normal iPhone data plan.

    Hi
    Its takes longer to describe the full installation how to use the BT for internet sharing.
    I have found this website with a installation instruction for Windows 2000.
    The dialogs for Windows XP might be a little different, but the configuration will be the same.

    If not why option available
    Thanks!

    What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
    Best of luck.

  • Dual GPRS and (Broadband) Internet Connections

    I have been trying to create a GPRS connection while maintaining my (broadband) Internet connection. I know I have to change the routing table but am not sure where to obtain the IP addresses I need. Can you assist me?

    Same thing happens to me after updating the N95-3 software to version 20. The thing is that before the update I was able to do multiple conections, one on the PC and one on the phone. So basically I know its possible on the N95 but so far I havent been able to do so on firmware 20. If someone knows how to correct this problem to achieve multiple connections, please help us.

  • How to share a PPPoE connection with a hub?

    Hello here,
    I have the following configuration:
    1. PowerMac with MacOS Tiger (latest update)
    2. PPPoE internet connection
    3. A simple 8 ports ethernet hub
    My question is: is it possible to share the Internet connection to the other ports in the hub by making the Mac as a router? I remember I was able to do it with MacOS 9 in the past (with a shareware program)!
    Any idea is very welcome. Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,

    It is possible and rather easy... BUT you either need a mac with two network ports... one to connect to your DSL modem and one to the hub or you need to connect the DSL modem over USB and the use the other network port to connect to the hub.
    An easy and cheap solution would be to buy a cheap router (you can get them under 50$) and it has normaly a nice and easy web interface to control firewall etc build in. Easier then handling all of the different parts in OS X.

  • Can Airport Express share an Internet connection via Thunderbolt Ethernet

    An increasing number of hotels are now charging for every device that you use to connect to the Internet. I am travelling to India next week for work and the hotel I am staying at has this policy. I have not discovered a way of sharing a Wifi account between several devices. I travel with an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air.
    What if I connect my MacBook Air via wireless. Can I share my Internet connection (Internet Sharing in Sharing) by connecting an Airport Express to the ethernet port (thuderbolt ethernet) and create a wireless network that way? If possible, what configuration would I need on the AEX, wold it be bridge mode?

    This is why I travel with 2 AirPort Express devices.
    For hotels with wireless only....one Express is configured to "join" the hotel wireless network and it provides an Ethernet signal to the second Express which is configured to "create" a wireless network for multiple devices.
    The hotel network only "sees" one device....the AirPort Express that is joining....so I'm only charged for one device, but can connect multiple devices if I want.
    If the hotel has an Ethernet jack, you only need one Express..the one configured to 'create" a wireless network. Again, the hotel only "sees" one device....because I do not use Bridge Mode.....but I can connect as many wireless devices as I want.
    Both methods work about 95% of the time at "unknown" hotels. Generally, I stay at "known" hotels where I know that things will work.

  • Help setting up using my airport extreme to share my internet connection

    I want to use my built-in airport extreme to share my internet connection with my PS3. I have a verizon aircard and have read on the internet that this can be done (but not necessarily with airport). I turned on internet sharing with airport and my ps3 reads my connection and obtains my ip address, but then it says could not connect to internet due to DNS server error.
    Could someone run me down the process step-by-step so I can see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
    P.S. I have a iMac running on leopard if that matters.

    ll959reds, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Unfortunately the Internet Sharing provided by OS X does not provide nearly the configuration possibilities as even a very inexpensive wireless router.
    Also if the firewall is enabled on the iMac, it applies equally to all ports including the AirPort (wireless) connection to the PS3. Therefore the firewall will block many of the requests from the PS3. To solve this issues, you would either need to disable the iMac's firewall or configure the iMac's firewall to allow connections via the AirPort side.
    A much simpler solution is to use a wireless router instead of your iMac to provide the connection for the PS3.

  • How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ADSL modem

    I ,m new to Solaris. How to setup dialup internet connection(PPP) in Solaris for ethernet ADSL modem? will solaris recognise the ethernet modem?? I only have windows drivers for the ethernet modem. Where to look for info on this?

    The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
    Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or <br>
    Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
    "Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

    Hi Theo,
    There are several ways to implement this using simple timing features of LabVIEW.  Two fairly simple methods are comparing system time stamps or using the Wait VI provided in the Timing palette.  The time stamp comparison requires a little bit more programming, but can be included in your main program loop.  To use the Wait function, you will probably need to construct a new loop parallel to your main loop.  I have attached screenshots of these two implementations.  Please let me know if you have any more questions.

  • How to connect my Satellite A200 with a Philips LCS TV?

    Hi, I have problems to connect my Satellite A200 1E1 with a Philips 32 PF9967D LCD-TV HD ready.
    The manuals recommend a HDMI extension that is unfortunately not availble with my Laptop.
    However, isn't is possible to use a S-Video connection instead? I could accept a reduced quality. When I connect the Laptop with the TV, I have the impression that the Satellite does not send any signal out. The "FN F5" combination does not show the opportunity to switch between the screens. Once I connected a beamer and had no problems at all with switching between beamer, laptop screen or both.
    Any comments would be highly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

    Hello
    In user manuals is written in almost each chapter about ports or slots a short comment: depending on configuration. That means that this users manuals can be used for different A200 notebook models.
    Every notebook delivered with HD-DVD optical disc drive has also an HDMI port. According the notebook specification your notebook has no HD-DVD ODD and because of that there is also no HDMI port.
    For TV-out there is sonly one port S-Video. Using this port you can send video signal to your TV. I have LCD TV too and I have used it many times with my A200 notebook. It is very simply but be sure you use the right channel (S-Video) on your TV. Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to the TV.
    If this does not work you are doing something wrong.

  • Is it possibly connect my Satellite A200-10W to TV

    Could i possibly connect my satellite A200-10W to TV?
    If so, what peripherals do I need to buy?

    yes you can, simply purchase a S-Video cable(http://www.laptopaccessoriesinc.com/images/5FT_4_PIN_S-VIDEO_to_3_RCA_TV_male_Cable.jpg) and connect and you also need one Audio cable which can give sound output to TV (http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbimage/50103844/Audio_Video_Cable.jpg)

  • How to share an airport connected USB Disk over internet

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get my AEBS connected USB Disk to be accessible over the internet, so I can access it when I'm not at home.
    In Airport Utility I checked both 'Share Disks over WAN' and 'Share Disks over the internet using Bonjour'.
    I've also set a few accounts who can connect to it (instead of being guests).
    But what's next?
    I can connect to the disk in Finder by selecting the menu-option 'Connect to server' and typing in 'afp://ip-address' (where IP-address is for the AEBS) as long as I'm in my home network, but I tried the same at my work but that doesn't work.
    Do I have to configure the AEBS in some other way to make this possible?
    Any help, advice would be appreciated.

    Using the AirPort Utility, you will need to both enable File Sharing and configure the AirPort for Port Mapping. (Note: It is assumed that your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is the only Internet router in your current network configuration. That is, it is connected directly to a broadband Internet modem, and not another router upstream of it.)
    The following are the basic steps to configure an AirPort Disk to be accessed from the Internet:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.

  • How share ADSL Internet connection to all machines without RRAS but using Windows Server DHCP and DNS

    Hello!
    I have this scenario on my small network with 10 PCs (connecting from outside to inside my network):
    1) Modem with ADSL connection
    2) Wireless Router with public IP on WAN interface 
    3) Switch 
    4) Server 2012 with DC/DHCP/DNS (with 2 NICs) and others servers/desktops machines 
    I want to share internet to servers and desktops.
    I was able to share internet by 2 methods searching on google, but I am not satisfied with them:
    First method - Using the Wireless Router and its DHCP Server
    I turned on the DHCP inside the Wireless Router. All machines will get an IP and be able to go to Internet, but I don’t have the ability to control the DHCP and DNS in the router
    how I would like to have, because the server DHCP and DNS must be turned off on Windows Server.
    Second method - Using the Windows Server RRAS NAT, DHCP and DNS server
    I have 2 NICs on the server:
    NIC1 - CONNECTED TO SWITCH
    IP: 192.168.1.1
    MSK: 255.255.255.0
    GTW:192.168.1.1
    DNS:192.168.1.1
    NIC2 - CONNECTED TO WIRELESS ROUTER
    (the LAN IP of the wireless router is 172.16.0.1)
    IP: 172.16.0.2
    MSK: 255.255.0.0
    GTW: 172.16.0.1
    DNS: 172.16.0.1
    After installing and setting the RRAS with NAT at the Server, the internet began to work on all machines but at some times the internet stop to load some
    random webpages, and if you hit a couple of times the F5 button, the webpage open sometimes, but very, very slow.
    I saw other people in foruns saying that RRAS is not very good, and could cause weird things at internet connection, so, now I think the internet is horrible
    because of RRAS. After notice that internet is bad I tested it connecting a cable direct to the lan ports of the Wireless Router, and the internet works fast and perfect.
    What is the best thing to do in my case to maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared without loss of quality?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    please deploy according to this network topology. please turn off DHCP from router and use internal NAT function to share internet. Detailed configurations:
    Router part:
    LAN address: 192.168.1.1/24
    DHCP part:
    scope name : site name
    address pool: 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254
    scope options:
    router:192.168.1.1
    DNS server:192.168.1.2
    DNS part:
    configure a forwarder to point to the public DNS address such as 8.8.8.8
    with these settings, you can maintain Windows Server DHCP and DNS turned on and Internet be shared via hardware router.
    Regards,
    Mike
