Computer Networking
Computer networks are collections of computers which are connected together in order to communicate and transfer information. Questions about computer networks, networking protocols, and how to set them up belong here.

Try to update firmware. If it did not work use warranty and send the unit back. Some D-link routers just are full of glitches.
What is the most recent and largest address space IP addressing scheme?
IP version 6, also known as IPv6, IP next generation, or IPng. It uses addresses of 16 bytes, instead of the 4 bytes used in IPv4.
How far Can cat five Internet cable works?
The Cat 5e and Cat 6 ethernet cables are available in 50 foot and longer lengths and have no problem working that distance. For a longer distance I would use the Cat 6 just because it is of higher quality and can use the same ports. I really don't know how far they work only that they will work if you purchase a non custom cable length and have seen a length as long as 250 feet for the CAT 6 cables
How do you factory reset a belkin wireless G plus MIMO router?
hold the reset switch in for 10 sec while powering on the device
Without a Name Service there would simply not be a viable Internet. To understand why we need to look at what DNS does and how and why it evolved.
A DNS translates (or maps) the name of a resource to its physical IP address - typically referred to as forward mapping
A DNS can also translate the physical IP address to the name of a resource - typically called reverse mapping.
Big deal.
Remember that the Internet (or any network for that matter) works by allocating every point (host, server, router, interface etc.) a physical IP address (which may be locally unique or globally unique).
Without DNS every host (PC) which wanted to access a resource on the network (Internet), say a simple web page e.g. www.thing.com, would need to know its physical IP address. With 100 of millions of hosts and billions of web pages it is an impossible task - it's also pretty impossible with just a handful of hosts and resources.
To solve this problem the concept of Name Servers was created in the mid 70's to enable certain attributes (properties) of a named resource to be maintained in a known location - the Name Server.
With a Name Server present in the network any host only needs to know the physical address of a Name Server and the name of the resource it wishes to access. Using this data it can find the address (or any other stored attribute or property) of the resource by interrogating (querying) the Name Server. Resources can be added, moved, changed or deleted at a single location - the Name Server. At a stroke network management was simplified and made more dynamic.
What does an ethernet port do?
An ethernet cord gives you direct access to the internet via modem or router.
Basic an ethernet cable is just like a phone line just built with a higher bandwidth.
To sum it up an ethernet cord allows a PC or laptop (even xbox360) to connect to the internet with faster speed.

5-performance monitorability
6-ease of encryption
DISADVANTAGES
1-increased bandwidth
2-need of time synchronization
3-topologically restricted multiplexing

Right click on "My computer' and select Properties, A window will open that says hardware, software, remote, etc. Select Remote and select allow remote access just remember to turn it off when you are done.
What is shared media networks?
refer to http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/shared+media+LAN
shared the bandwidth.
shared media LAN
A local area network (LAN) that shares its total available bandwidth with all transmitting stations at any given time. Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI are examples. When shared media LANs run out of capacity to serve their users effectively, they can often be upgraded by replacing the hub with a switch. See LAN switch.
What are the advantages of the Data Encryption Standard?
These days, the use of DES is not recommended due to the short length of the key. In the past, the advantage was that the encryption made your information confidential unless you had the unlock key.
In today's environment, DES is easily crackable. Going towards the use of AES, or 3DES, would be more desirable.
Determine whether the TCP IP protocols are installed and functioning properly?
C: Attempt to ping the loopback address.
How many categories do computer networks fall into?
2 , local area network and wide area network.
-RDS
What term describes a place where a user can connect to a network without using wires?
A common term here in the US at least is "Wireless hotspot". Places like coffee shops, Hotels, etc that offer free wireless.
