Can you somehow network your internet connected computer so you can plug a wireless router into the computer and have this router broadcast WiFi signals that your wireless devices can connect to it?

You can. You have to have the following things to make it work:

1. A modem ( if you have cable/DSL you have one.)

2. An Ethernet cord

3. A wireless router

The first thing you have to do is take the Ethernet chord and plug the one end into the modem and the other end into the input of the wireless router. most wireless routers have more Ethernet ports on it. All of your computers that hook up with Ethernet hook up here. this router isn't secure, but it is broadcasting wifi signals. in order to secure it, follow the instructions that come with your wireless router.

Hookup a netgear wireless router to a netgear non wireless router and the modem?

You can hook up a wireless router to your already existing modem and non-wireless router. However, you need to set up the wireless router by changing it's LAN IP address and by disabling it's router function so it will function as a wireless access point to avoid conflict with your existing non-wireless router.

Explain the function of crossbar switching system?

In a network, a cross-bar switch is a device that is capable of channeling data between any two devices that are attached to it up to its maximum number of ports. The paths set up between devices can be fixed for some duration or changed when desired and each device-to-device path (going through the switch) is usually fixed for some period.

Cross-bar topology can be contrasted with bus topology, an arrangement in which there is only one path that all devices share. Traditionally, computers have been connected to storage devices with a large bus. A major advantage of cross-bar switching is that, as the traffic between any two devices increases, it does not affect traffic between other devices. In addition to offering more flexibility, a cross-bar switch environment offers greater scalability than a bus environment.

What are the roles of a client and server and how do they interact over the network?

A server waits for a request by a client. When the client sends the requests, the server answers to it. Examples are file servers, that listen to requests from clients wanting to save or retrieve files; print servers that wait for requests to print (and then print them); DHCP servers that wait for requests to provide IP addresses; etc.

What is TCP port 389?

TCP port 389 is commonly used for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

What is routing table poisoning?

It's when you receive and *accept* an ICMP redirect message from a rogue machine telling you that there's a better path (via a different gateway) to the network you want to reach.

You can and generally should disable it whenever possible.

On modern Linux you can do so by setting:

net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0

net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0Insert mode

What is the function of ISDN's data link layer?

Ensures that control and signaling information flows properly and is received

What does a Network Service Manager do?

A Network Service Manager is responsible to keep the network up and running. They need to monitor the system and try to correct problems before they affect the systems. The Network Service Manger would be an Administrator and would be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the equipment.

When data is sent to a system on a hub which port does it go in?

How do I fix having to troubleshoot network adapter problems every start up?

Hello, every time I start my PC, or re-enable a connection, I am told that "This computer has limited connectivity to virginmedia." So I click to troubleshoot problems.

Then am usually told "there might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection Adapter". I then try the repairs as an administrator, and it repairs itself.

Not a major issue, I can still connect, but it has been doing it for a while now and I am getting annoyed.

I have "Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter, and the drivers are up to date.

Any help would be much appreciated!

What is a dhcp server?

A DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically gives network devices (computer, smart phone, etc.) the configuration information required to communicate on a network. The DHCP server will assign a device an IP address, a subnet mask and a default gateway. Some DHCP servers will also provide the network device with further configuration information such as the address of a DNS (Domain Name Server).

When your computer or smart phone connects to a wireless network, it has most likely recieved is configuration from a DHCP server.

What is least mean square algorithm?

There are multiple uses for the least mean square metric, and multiple algorithm using it.
But in general you look for the smallest difference between the data you have and the predictions of several models you could use to describe those data. See related link for use in adaptive filters.

"least mean square" means that you

  • calculate the difference between the data value and the model prediction at several different places (this is called the error)
  • square the error to make all values positive (square)
  • calculate the average (mean square)
  • find the model alternative that gives the smallest error (least mean square)

Which features are typical for most protocol analyzers?

Packet filters may be applied to incoming data before capture, or to store data after capture. Decodes may be applied to packets in the trace buffer. Alarms may be set to flag unusual network events or conditions. Packet filters display various statistical reports and graphs based on traffic analysis.
