sorry to confuse you. laptop #1 is connected via wireless network connection. i want laptop #2 to connect to the same network. it won;t. it will connect via wi-fi, but i want it on the network itself.
so i can download stuff, via wi-fi. but when i go to open those same programs, it says i can't, cuz i'm not connected to the internet.
the same connection i used to download the program.
thanks for the link. i'm checking it out.

ok, another internet proble. i'm connected thru wi-fi, cuz i can't hit my broadband. puter tell me i'm manually connected to a port.
how do i change that? or do i need to?
when i try to install stuff, or use certain features, it says i'm not connected to the internet. but i am.
sounds like a virus,,,,,the easiest way to fix is to run system restore,,restore to a date where your computer was working fine,then reboot again and see if that works,,,good luck ,let me know how that did

Damn. I just dropped my mod and kayfun clone. Another broken drip tip, and the tank plastic looks like it stripped a thread and is now crooked. I'm thinking I should go to bed before I do any more damage.
Sigh. I guess it's just one of those days.

Related not so much by birth but by miscarriage.
Win 8 was unforgivable IMO. I've since migrated my non-gaming desktops to Linux, notebooks to follow.

One of my favorite things about fall and winter is chili
Normally I'm tend to my chili a lot, stirring it every 15 minutes over the course of about 2 hours, but because of my back and legs I decided to try my hand at using a slow cooker/crock pot and that is working out great. Just brown the meat and throw all the fixin's into it, then put it on low heat for 6 hours and stir it every now and again and it turns out great.
Thinking about trying it with cubed chicken or sirloin next time to see how we like it.

How chicken wire is made..
I even had some time today because its so "Chilly" outside , that I made Chilli inside...LOL
Wooo, a rare sighting of whis cooking ;-)
Looks pretty delish my dear.
not using any plugs on any laptap. my old one is connected thru the network, my new is will only connect by w-fi mode. trying to use broadband mode.
ANY other program, other than web browsers, says i'm not connected. but it's the same connection i'm using to post now. spybot and cccleaner say i'm not connected.
oh, and it's windows 8. i hate it.
at least Kelli told me how to get my start menu back. that helps some!
Umm, I think I have an idea what you are saying, but after a day of football and beer ,I'm not much help.
Basically, you're talking about terms..forget the words for now. Broadband just means fast Internet access, there are two basic types:
Wireless AKA Wifi = Not Wired, uses radio waves and antennas.
Wired AKA Ethernet, with wires connecting stuff.
You had it working on another computer, did you setup wireless with a password and stuff?
Or,it that one plugged in like the second pic shows?
If your Internet provider set everything up for you, mebbe you should call them?
Here's the issue: Windows is dumb. It will connect to a Wired connection first always, if avaulable. If it does not find one,it will try Wireless.
When it tries to do that,it will use YOUR predefined connection first, but after that, it will use ANYTHING it can find.
Questions:
1. What sort of Internet do you have, specifically?
1a. What computers do you have online - specify laptop or desktops and how they are connected.
2. I'll assume you have either Cable Internet like Comcast, or Internet from the phone company, usually some form of DSL.
3. Most Internet providers use a modem and router combo box, like this:
An Comcast Cable combination Modem & Router - provides both wired and wireless connections.
Showing WiFi antennas for Wireless AND the ports for Wired connections.
BTW - If you delete all of your connections, and are like my Mom and don't know the passwords, yer in trouble. ;-)
I use both wired and wireless connections here, so that is fine.

U-Verse from the Deathstar is nice...
He's using an 8-port switch to add additional Wired connections. Presuming here, that any Wireless would be from the U-Verse combo modem/router.
I have four comps hooked to Internet access atm, two wired and two wireless:
* Two wired desktop PC's are directly hooked to the modem/router's ports
* One old PC is using a USB wifi adapter for wifi connectivity
* This old lappy, using it's internal wifi adapter.
I want to eventually bridge the modem/router to make it a 'dumb' modem and then use a beefier dedicated firewall and/or router,,,but have been lazy. Still have a Smoothwall and IPcop b0xen if I need 'em

Rest of what runs the entire house.
Pure mess this!
Yay! Franciscan is back!
Do you have file and print share turned on? Does your home network have a specific work group name other than the default that you connect to? I would start by checking basic settings, I am sure that's all it is

In a manner of speaking....most issues are sorted....but some are not.
