Thanks Thomas! JimE

Hello, I am not a zone guru, but I would suggest just changing the name server. Start changing the zone and things can go wrong. Not saying it will, but with a buisness, I always try to make sure that the customers never see a problem if you can see what I am meaning. Which ever way you do it, it will take the same time to filter around the world. JimE

The cause of it hanging is not because it is trying to get a IP address. This is normally a conflict elsewhere. I suggest you look at the device manager and see that there are no Red X or yellow ? which may be conflicting with it. I also suggest you surf the linksys website and support area in case its a known issue with something else you have running. JimE

Thats not a problem, glad it worked JimE

Your SMTP will be mail.domainname.com (change.com for whatever domain ending you have) Hopefully this will work JimE

Tim's comment above is correct. It should only take a matter of seconds unless something is faulty. My above instructions would have removed the wait of the router dishing out the IP. To reverse them, just undo the steps in a backward order. That is, you need to go back to dynamically accepting an IP address. JimE

Hello, Its very easy, I have done it several times with joomla. The way I do it is, to install a fresh joomla install, install whatever mods I have used and whatever template I have used. Then I just copy the database over, edit the config file to adjust for the new domain name and everything works just fine. JimE

Personnally I would that thought that the best thing to do would be to backup your current subdomains, then remove them and reinstall new subdomains and then copy everything else backover. Just avoids any minor problems if something does not get correctley re-written. JimE

Good idea TCH-Thomas! Let us know how you do akonoba, JimE

Putting that cable back into the wrong hole is a very very common mistake. Rncd, could you please do the following: 1. Check the cable connection. It should be in the correct holes and most ones I have seen, be flashing some lights in some form or another. 2. Please do a ipconfig /all on both laptop and desktop and print them out here. 3. Please the follow Tim's advice in the above post. (Don't wait for us to comment on the IP issuse) Thank you. JimE

Welcome to the forum, less then perfect! JimE

Welcome to the forums JimC. When you replace the page, are you replacing it like for like in the sense of the file name? E.g. I have seen it done that Index.php is different from index.php Or that it was index.html and is now index.htm? Do you have an error upon upload? Let us know! JimE

Hello, Using your desktop (which if you look back carefully, you shouldn't have changed anything, only used it to determine your IP. The point of this excerise was to leave one computer working and get the other one to see it using the same settings but a different IP) you should be able to access the router and its software still from the desktop. Login into the router from there and set the gateway number to the same as mine. Do this for the desktop and laptop too. To be honest, that should not make any difference, so please also once having done that, please do a ipconfig /all on both laptop and desktop and report back what you get. Thanks JimE

Hello, If you do not have SP2 on the laptop, it won't have that facility. I would not worry, it was just a precaution. Correct it does, but do not change any of the IP settings you have entered. Keep going. Btw, can you please login to the router and give me the full IP starting and ending addresses. E.g. not 100. but 100.0.0.1 (or whatever it says) Keep going please! JimE

Hello, Sorry yes I read this thread earlier then I got called out to a fire, but left the PC on. If you can just do this step first.... Turn off everything. Then turn on the laptop. Disable all networks apart from your wireless. Then start IE and go to tools, internet options and connections. Tick never dial a connection and under LAN make sure the automatically detect settings box is ticked. If the box undernearth it is ticked, copy and record the path somewhere before unticking it. On your Desktop pc, go into viewing all network connections and disable the bridge. This should then release all the other networks. You can if you want disable the firewire (IEE thingy). Then do the below. 1. Please disconnect any scanners, printers or anything else attached to any of the computers. 2. Login to your d-link router, and go into your DHCP and check that it looks like mine as above. Write these down somewhere. Please report back here them too. 3. On your desktop PC, goto start > run and type in "CMD" (no " though!) Press return. Now type in "ipconfig /all" and see what it says. Write these down somewhere. Please report back here them too. Mine says: >C:\>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : home Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless USB Adapter(rev.B) #2 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 4. On the same PC, turn OFF any firewall you have running (you can turn them on later). If you have no firewall running, but its running XP SP2, goto the control panel, windows firewall and turn it off. 5. Last but not least, on the desktop pc, goto start > right click on my computer >properties > computer name and tell me what the workgroup is please. Right, thats the router sorted out and the desktop PC. Leave them alone for now. 6. On your Laptop, I want you to do the following: By the clock, will be an icon with a wireless waves coming from it, click on status. It will show you connected to the router. Click on properties. Make sure file and sharing are there. Now, click on TCP/IP and properties. At this stage, you will see that it has "Obtain IP automatically". Change it by clicking "use the following IP address". Now, in the boxes, type the following details: IP Address Type in the all the digits like displayed on your desktop PC. The last number, add 3 to do and put it in. E.g. 192.168.1.5 For subnet and default gateway, use the same as what you copied down from your desktop PC. E.g. mine is: Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 7. On the next bit down, make sure it has "Use the following DNS server address". This should be set to the value seen on your desktop PC, e.g. : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 8. If you close this and go back to the network properties, click on wireless networks at the top, highlight the wireless network which is shown and then click properties > connection and make sure that box is always ticked! 9. Now Close that all and still on the laptop, goto oto start > right click on my computer >properties > computer name. The workgroup must be EXCATLEY the same as the desktop one. However, the computer name must be different. If not, click on "more" and change the name and/or the workgroup. Remember, workgroup must match, the name must not!. 10. Turn OFF any firewall you have running (you can turn them on later) on the laptop. If you have no firewall running, but its running XP SP2, goto the control panel, windows firewall and turn it off. 11. Reboot the laptop. It will connect quicker to the router now and you should then be able to browse the network by going to start > my network places and view the workgroup computers. Let me know how that goes please.

Hello, Ah, now things become a bit clearer. If this is true (please say so): Phone Line comes into laptop Laptop connects wirelessly to router Router connects to desktop via lan If so, read this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/n...d_02july01.mspx I believe the problem then is that your laptop and the router are giving out DHCP addresses maybe? Also, (sorry a bit rusty here, its 4am here) its likely that there is a network conflict going on either with the IP or subnet, but I am not sure which. Does the router connect to the internet by itself? If the first point is true, and the router does connect to the internet when you want it too, you will need to do a manual setup of the network yourself. What I would do first, is disable the modem and its settings and find a network cable and disable the wireless too for the time being and get the whole internal network running with wires first. Forget about the internet. As a side point when thats working, remember that the laptop IP address for the phone line will be determined by the ISP. Set to automatic. The rest of them, which is the wireless laptop, the router and the pc lan must all be set to run off its own network with thier own unique settings (Remember the workgroup must be the same) Only when you have it working via wires and without internet should you start to add in the more complicated stuff.

Thats a strange one! If you can, contact Yahoo, if not, resubmit the page! JimE

Hello, If you can reply to Madmanmcp post before mine, that would be appreciated in the whole line of things. This is my take on things and a solution, if its not, please let me know as explicitley as possible. --------------------------------------- Setup Phone line comes into D-link wireless-router. This is then connected via a LAN to the desktop PC. You also have a laptop which you connects wirelessly to the router. You want to share files between laptop and PC desktop. Problem 1. You laptop is slow in getting a IP from the router Problem 2 You can't access your PC dekstop from his laptop. ---------------------------------------- First off, name and model number of the dlink router please. Then turn on your router and your PC and laptop, allow all to connect and get an IP. Then: 1. Please disconnect any scanners, printers or anything else attached to any of the computers. 2. Login to your d-link router, and go into your DHCP and check that it looks like mine. Write these down somewhere. Please report back here them too. 3. On your desktop PC, goto start > run and type in "CMD" (no " though!) Press return. Now type in "ipconfig /all" and see what it says. Write these down somewhere. Please report back here them too.

Hello Akonoba, I have Dreamweaver MX and Dreamweaver 8 but I don't have version 4. Can you please post a screenshot of what your trying to do in version 4 and then I should (or anyone else with them) be able to help you out. To get a screenshot, have what you need on the desktop showing, and press the keyboard button "print screen" (this only works on a PC). Now go and open up "paint" from under accessories in windows. Paste it in, save it as a JPEG and attach it to the post here! Cheers JimE

Hello Sleepy, I don't have a written guide on how to do this, but I would its more then possible, although you will have to backup everything first!. phpBB is quite good in the fact that its should be easy to use the posts, users and forum tables from another phpBB install (your old install) Give it a try, and let us know how it goes! JimE

Many thanks for thoose words! JimE

Hello, You may have already gone too far, but if you patch using the file patch method at phpBB, you will overwrite the files which keep all your mods going. I believe if you type in "phpBB plus" into google, you will be directed to a site which is a fully modded version of phpBB with mods. This may be your best bet. If not, you will have to go to the phpBB website and find the files which are for thoose with heavily modded forums. You will then have to manually go through each of your files and edit in the correct bits. You will have to do this for every patch from 2.0.4 -> 2.0.21 and there are alot of changes, some major which stop certain mods working (and hence thoose developers had to fix thoose mods) hence unless you want a really really big headache, go and look at phpBB plus or loose the mods. Either way, personnelly this is, I believe your are too far back in the design line to be saved, sorry! JimE

Welcome to the forums Thomas! JimE

It doesnt matter about the router, its the laptop which is the problem. You need to make it connect wireless to the desktop first (Am i right in assuming the desktop has a wireless card in it and the the router does not have wireless features?) JimE

Not always a good idea to send email in HTML format. I never read any of my mails in HTML format because of the way malicous people can use it. JimE
