Wireless networking, like so many things in life -- and especially the ones that have anything to do with computers -- is filled with jargon. Hi-tech babble baffles many Don't be intimidated, though: here's a quick computer-speak to English guide to help you out.802.11. The name of the wireless networking standard, set by the IEEE. Ensures that wireless devices are interoperable.Driver. A piece of computer software that tells the computer how to talk to devices that are plugged into it. For wireless networking, the drivers you need to install will come on a CD with any equipment you buy.Ethernet. The most common way of connecting to a LAN.

A home wireless network can be set up using wireless local area network (WLAN) devices. A wireless LAN has a wireless interface that enables wireless communication amongst the computers and peripheral devices that are a part of the LAN. A wireless LAN has limited range and is designed to be used only in a local environment such as a building, office complex or home. The main advantage is the flexibility and mobility provided by a wireless LAN.A wireless home network can be installed easily by connecting a wireless router to the network. The router must be placed in a central location within the home. Computers which are placed close to the router, or in the same room as the router, receive...

One thing that I love about all news windows products is the remote desktop features. I previously used PCAnywhere but I find that remote desktop is now almost as good, would like to see a file transfer like PCAnywhere has, but remote desktop is free so that is a plus for it.One of the tasks that I face with my network setup is forwarding ports through my router. There are two issues that I came across when dealing with the RDP forwarding. The first was what is the port number of RDP. With a quick search on Google I found that the standard RDP port is 3389.Now that you have the port number you can simply go into your router and forward that port through and after enabling your remote desktop...

In the traditional sales model, presentations are made in person at the client's place of business. Today, however, rising fuel costs have translated into higher airfares and gasoline prices. As a result, the travel budgets of companies around the world are straining at the seams. Similarly, company executives are recognizing that traditional business travel consumes a significant amount of a salesperson's time, thereby negatively impacting employee productivity. Both travel costs and a salesperson's time increase the cost of on-site meetings, and represent resources that could be better leveraged to generate additional sales. As a result, businesses are increasingly seeking less expensive...

Trends and industry analysts state that the efforts of the propagators will not relent. Last year marked the first ever mobile phone virus and Bluetooth technology, for example, compounds the threats to security. 35% of PCs in the US are infected while in China and India the rates hit 50%.Experts in the field of security report the first virus was spread as early as 1981. Fred Cohen, however, wrote in his seminal paper that the first virus was conceived as an experiment on November 3rd, 1983. Since then viruses and malware have plagued and wreaked havoc among computer systems worldwide.Risks through the Internet With the advent of such communications advances like the Internet, mobile telephony and...

Have you recently gone wireless? If you have a wireless network at home or in the office, it is critical to have it secured. Wireless networks are prone to attacks from outsiders - perhaps even more so than with wired networks. This article shows how you can implement 3 techniques to secure a given wireless network.1. Disable Broadcast SSID One of the key things to do is to secure a wireless network is to disable broadcast SSID. WiFi WLANs identify themselves with a service set identifier (SSID), which names the network and works (loosely) like a password.Unfortunately, most wireless access points transmit their SSIDs by default, which is pretty much like standing in the street and shouting your...

As far as I'm concerned, wireless networks would have to rank as one of the best inventions in history. They really are the best thing since sliced bread. I mean, really, bread is easy enough to cut yourself, but have you ever tried to wire up a network? Its a lot of hard yakka as many would say. WiFi is the wireless way to handle networking. It is also known as 802.11 networking and wireless networking. The big advantage of WiFi is its simplicity. You can connect computers anywhere in your home or office without the need for wires. The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and computers can be up to 100 feet or so apart. So, in the spirit of spreading the word, I'm going to give you...

One of the most important but overlooked components in your PC is the PC case. Selecting a good PC case is an important step in building your computer, since it determines several things. It determines the number of PC components you can have, as well as how well your system's temperature. And heck, it also determines how good your PC looks!Let's take a look at the different factors to consider when selecting a good PC case.External SpaceThe first factor to consider is how much space your PC case is going to take up. Are you placing it on a tight, crammed desk? Or on a large desk? If you have the space, tower PC cases are a good choice. If you're short of space, you may wish to consider smaller mini...

Connecting to a wired Network requires you to do several things. Read the instructions so they can be easier to understand as you perform the task step by step.

We often don't realise how heavily reliant we are on technology until we lose it. If your cell phone goes missing, laptop is stolen or Internet connection goes down for a day, that's when you realise how vulnerable you are to human imperfections. I say human imperfections because machines are not perfect because they are built by humans. Data is entered into machines by humans and humans make mistakes. So while the machine may be doing what it is told to do, without someone to tell it, it really can't do anything.Back up your lifeHurricanes and other natural disasters have taught many people that sometimes it's not only your gadgets that need backing up. Sometimes your life needs to get backed up...

"Networking is a waste of time," said JoAnne, owner of a busy print shop. "Besides, I advertise in the daily paper.""Wow, that must be expensive," I exclaimed. "Are you getting results from that investment?""I sure hope so! My advertising budget is about $475 a month but I've never really tracked the results. I guess I should do that.""You should." I replied. "A small business can't afford to waste money on ineffective advertising. But back to your comment about networking: why do you think it's a waste of time?""I don't know how to connect with people and make a lasting impression," she replied. "Maybe I should give something so people will remember me.""Not a bad idea. It's the best way to be...

A network allows a single broadband account to be shared throughout the home. Unfortunately, such networking is impractical with dial-up Internet service--one of several reasons you might want to consider broadband. WHAT'S AVAILABLE Home networking is getting a boost from improvements in the range, speed, and cost of wireless networks. If you own a laptop computer that has wireless capability, a wireless network now allows you to surf the Web at broadband speeds from most places in your house, yard, or apartment. Leading brands of wireless routers include D-Link, Netgear, and Linksys. Wired networking is far from obsolete, however, since it still provides the most secure and reliable connections...

Mobile phone use in motor vehicles has increased at a remarkable rate over the past 15 years. Yet it is undeniable that utilizing a cell phone while driving can affect driver performance as it relates to the overall safe operation of a vehicle. There are a number of things to consider in deciding whether the trade off in convenience is worth the potential risks associated with the distraction created by a cell phone. Given the fact that the individual driver (and/or business owner) ultimately pays for the resulting consequences associated with an auto or truck accident (financial, emotional and physical lose); it is prudent to seek out relevant and reliable information in making a decision. In doing...
