mga sirs, i need help with internet sharing in my network. do you know a program similar to wingate that can share internet connection with a mixed of windows xp and 98 pc's in a network? How to configure internet sharing in a network with windows xp pc's so i won't use wingate? Thanks in advance!

 

afaik, may ICS (internet connection sharing) ang Win XP to Win XP.

pag WinXP to Win98, try winproxy.

Windows XP, as what Google said, jas Internet Connection Sharing capability. If you enable it, it will act as the DHCP server for your network and will take the x.x.x.1 IP address. All you need to do is to allow your Windows 98 machine to obtain an IP Address (and DNS) automatically, and you can have internet access.

 

Haven't tried it yet, though. But, I believe it will work.

Speaking of networks, how do you trace someone who is stealing an IP address in an office network? Especially if you are not the admin. I have tried getmac and arp commands but it only traced the MAC address but no computer name. I want to know if there is a way to trace the MAC address to a specific computer name on a network. Has anyone done this or am I doing this the wrong way. Anyone, please help me.

I actually tried this during the advent of WinXP. before ang gamit ko lang was the win98 ICS, which was fine for all intents and purposes. then came winxp..

 

you are correct that WinXP can act as a DNS server via ICS. however, win98, ME, and 2000 cannot automatically identify the XP DNS "server" (note quotation marks as it is not a real server per se). only other XP units can automatically identify the ICS service.

 

you need to run a network wizard (automatically generate a floppy disk after activating the ICS in XP) in the other computers.

Get an IP Scan utility from the internet. Do a google search and you'll find plenty of them for free.

 

Pareng Levi, thanks ... I haven't tried it (not a lot of company uses Win98 nowadays) but thanks for infos too ... :thumbsupsmiley:

hehe.. you'd be surprised at the number of users still using win98 and 2000.

 

ganito kasi.. maraming mga surplus computers out there (go to pioneer street at boni). when you buy the CPU nakadikit ang mga COA stickers of Win98, 2000, etc. para makatipid and para makalusot sa license these Wa-is users stick to the OS indicated in the COA sticker. o-ha.. "licensed" software.

 

I actually bought 5 CPUs from HMR Philippines with WinXP Pro COA. bwahahaha.. I can use these computers "legal" in an internet cafe or office setting and I can get the updates legal, as long as I use the license key printed on the COA

What does COA mean? I have a friend who uses Ubuntu Linux as an alternative for the liscensed ones.

COA means certificate of authenticity.

I recently ran my TuneUp Utilities and it mentioned that I don't have a personal firewall.I have the Nod32 as my anti-virus. Is it still necessary for me to install a firewall nonetheless?I said this because, up to now, with my Nod32, I haven't had any problems. So, will it make any real difference if I have a firewall? Wouldn't installing one only eat up computer resources?Many thanks for the advice! :thumbsupsmiley:

you still need to. an antivirus protects you from viruses and other threats as soon as they arrive in your computer.a firewall protects your computer from threats such as hacking, etc.

hi folks,

 

i have a laptop: toshiba satellite 220cds. the problem is it doesn't boot and the screen is blank.

 

power indicators are good. even the battery indicator shows it is charging.

 

what could be the problem?

[Google]

Thanks a lot for the advice Google! :thumbsupsmiley: Can I ask what software you would recommend, by the way? Thanks a lot in advance!

it depends on your need, what you use your computer for and the budget that you have. if you use your computer at home, probably the Windows Firewall will do. try to search the internet on what options that you have.

during boot-ups, do you hear beeps? kung meron, ilan? probably causes: RAM problems or motherboard problems.

I use my laptop both for work and for personal use. I believe that there are freewares for firewalls all around. I'll try to Google them.

Many thanks again Google! Till the next time!

 

for reference na lang. the following are free firewalls:

 

a) Zone Alarm

Comodo

c) Kerio

d) CA Personal Firewall

e) Lavasoft

f) McAfee Personal Firewall

 

Among these choices, i have already tried Zone Alarm, Kerio, CA, Lavasoft and McAfee. Among the 4, i like McAfee best.

no beeps...all i noticed is that the "CAPS LOCK" sign blinks.

 

display is blank but power indicator is good.

 

even w/ bad RAM it should display something.

could be the power supply. baka bitin. minsan gannun kahit sira ang pwoer supply. akala mo nakaon but nothings working but the lights and fan.

 

worst case is the motherboard. tinamaan ang diagnostics kaya pati beep wala.

[webmaster_ph]

@poppinfresh2k5: hmmm...good point. i better check the ps. ty!

you could try booting your laptop minus the battery.. check for indicators like harddisk light and blink on the leds

 

if none then its an internal hardware malfunction..

 

most probably the cpu.. usually caused by deffective blower

 

 

you could bring it to megamall cyberzone for fixing

 

or you could go to starmall shawblvd-cyberzone.. i have good feed back on service from them..
