| 591243 | 2007-09-19 10:43:00 | So, have u got anything else thats wireless? If you havent then you cant use the wireless option. You have to get some ethernet cable for whatever and then configure the network. I've given up on the wireless thing but ethernet is proving to be just as difficult....I Bought a new Lan card but still cant connect laptop to PC via crossover cable...it says limited or no conectvity..the same message as the old Lan card Ive tried the network setup wizard,installed the XP - Vista recognition thing and i'm now about ready to just throw it all out the window ! |

| 591244 | 2007-09-19 10:54:00 | Ive tried the network setup wizard DON'T use the wizard, 99% out of 100, it doesnt WORK. Double click on the LAN icons and give them ip's. I dont know what you put in for wireless modems, I've never had one, most probably never will have one :D Make sure the workgroup names ARE the same (change XP's to Vista's default workgoup name). |

How do you give them Ip's ? and what is a suitable IP ?! |

| 591247 | 2007-09-19 21:20:00 | No, the suite on the PC will definitely NOT cover the laptop unless you're moving files between them and just that. You will definitely need to buy ZA for the laptop. If I may make a suggestion, get Avast Home AV and wait for Comodo to release their firewall for Vista. They are both free and MUCH better than ZA. that's your (sucky) opinion. ZoneAlarm Pro is what I use and it owns. (another opinion) |

| 591248 | 2007-09-19 21:55:00 | ZA Pro is a good firewall & ranks up the top with Comodo, Outpost & a couple others. ZA Free however, ranks down near the bottom with XP's firewall - avoid it. Recent leaktest results (www.matousec.com) or this old one (www.firewallleaktester.com). |

| 591250 | 2007-09-20 11:56:00 | OK i managed to get back online with the PC using the wireless modem via the ethernet cable...to hell with file sharing ! i'll just burn all my music to DVDs ! All i want now (which i could do before i started on the futile file share network thing) is to use the laptop wirelessly for the net....i dont know how i got it working before but its not playing ball anymore Anything i should be checking ? |

| 591251 | 2007-09-20 14:33:00 | Are the passwords (network keys) the same, whether your modem is broadcasting or not and thus you have already set up your laptop to connect to the hidden network etc etc. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
