i can get acces to the net, and so can the wife on the lappy,

as soon as i start playing on the web, the lapy keeps drooping its wireless connection, much to her indoors annoyance


any ideas

What router do you have?
Does it support multiple connections?
DHCP range incorrectly set?
IP Conflict on machines?

 

Does the router have a share Internet setting?

 

its a netgear router, model number escapes me...

we think that the problem may be ... my use upstairs... online gaming and surfing, or more likley her machine only having 256mb of mem, its only left with 90 when all apps up and running.

i have a half gig upgrade due shortly, we,ll see if that make a differance...


the next prob is the lack of p2p now ive gone via a router. not having much success there either

Mart

 

Did you not look at www.portforward.com to sort that one?

 

yep and nothing happened, ish..

it goes **** up when it gets to the inbound services bit, i cant work out what / where to enter the data... do i have to enter it on the pf web page, or on the lappy??

and the inbound services bit dosent match the screen i get up from the netgear admin

so still confused

Mart

 

You're confusing me.

The portforward website will guide you how to log onto you're router, and change the settings on you're router.

 

do i enter the data into the portforward pages, or the routers config pages, neither of them seem to work

and the portforward page shown for one section is a different page to what the netgear admin section gives


Mart

 

You enter the information into you're routers config pages via Internet Explorer.

Have a look for the model of router you're using. Then find the coresponding model on www.portforward.com. The pages on portforward.com will guide you on how to set-up you're router. The website does not allow you to actually port forward.

I hope that makes things clearer?

 

sort of, so why does the portfoward pages have boxes you can actually enter text into and an apply button that appears to do something,

Mart

 

Can you post the link? I'll have a look.

 

might be the best way its driving me round the bend...

ive tried several times now, and it just dosent work, the port range they specify is to big for NG to allow, so i used 80080 & 80090 and it still dosent work,

serioisly p*ssed off with somthing that shoudl be rudimentary, why did my usb modem not suffer al this crap??

Mart

 

Is this it? http://www.portforward.com/english/r...834G/eMule.htm

Looks like the page works out the addressing for you.

 

in thory, but it dosent seem to work,

starting to get p*ssed of with this whole router stuff now, if it wasnt for her indoors wanting wireless on her lappy, i,d be back with a usb modem by now..

her lappy is sat right next to the bl**dy router, and it still cant maintain a sodding connection
