I'm running a wireless network on a Linksys E3000. I run a motel and provide access for the guests via wireless network. I also have 2 computers for administration & staff that are hard wired through the router. I've had this setup going for years and even more years before that with an older router. Of course the IP is the everyday router 192.168.1.XXX. Now, since a few days ago the 2 hard...

Now this may sound like a daft question but I have wondered for a long time now what to set my network to Home or Public because the wording in the attached pic does not make sense to me as both say do not use in cafes and public places so which should I use? I was thinking this while setting up a new home wifi modem this afternoon and it sort of got me wondering.

On an almost daily basis I will lose my internet connection on my desktop computer and when I go through the trouble shooting process it finally pops up and says something about the Default Gateway being lost or disconnected and then it fixes it and I'm fine for the rest of the day.

I just got a Windows 7 message stating "Another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact your network administrator. More details are in the Windows System Event log." Never saw this one before and am curious if this is a hacking event or nothing at all. I'm the only one on my laptop and am totally clueless as to the possible ramifications. After an hour of...

The Setup: 2.4 = bank2.4, 5.0 = bank50. These are the wireless names I've given to my routers SSID. However, remember I said "WIRELESS". Then how come when I'm hard wired into my router, it shows me bank50? I just wonder sometimes if I'm connected to my router wireless or hard wire. How can I get this to show me bank (when I'm hard wired into the router), bank2.4 when I'm on my wireless or...

If I detach the VHD but keep the NAS volumes mounted then the htpc case fan...
