Sorry it took me so long to answer back and thanks for all your help. I did try turning off the firewalls but the same problem pops up. I loose my wireless internet connection on the vista laptop. I guess it's trying to connect to another network since it says Connecting to Uknown Network...

Well I dunno about the network wizard since there is no option for what I want in there (vista) and the XP one doesn't work on vista...closest one is ad hoc(wireless). Wow nice deal with the router... I have one and I can connect the XP laptop to the internet in the office where the router is...

Ok, I didn't try turning off the firewalls before. I disabled the firewall in the XP laptop and made norton internet security trust the ip that I set up in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) in Vista. Hopefully I won't have to disable the Firewall in Vista laptop since that's where I...

I have a Vista laptop that connects to my wireless connection. I've another laptop with XP that doesn't have a wifi card and I'm trying to connect it to the internet through my vista laptop and an ethernet cable. Is it even possible? I've been trying by using ICS changing the LAN TCP/IPv4 to...

All right i got: mobo = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813185107 cpu = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116039 ram = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134044 HDD =...

I think the chipset is 845 for the intel. I wouldn't mind using another socket mobo if its compatible with the mentioned processors. If I change the ram I would probly be able to use another socket mobo thats compatible with the 845 chipset right? I don't need more than 256mb of ram or more...

Hi, I'm planning on building some 2 computers to put some old parts to use and save me some money. I currently have a P4 cpu from a dell dimension 4300 bought in 2001 --> got the 256mb pc133 sdram a psu everything but the motherboard. I'm planning on setting up a linux server based on an...

:ouch: Well it'll probly be better to build a gaming pc(since I need one and I'm going to anyways) and use it as a htpc as well. I wont spend as much and I'll be able to game in the bedroom on a big screen...Opinions?

Coming back for some more help... I have a couple of pc and notebook components laying around and decided I could maybe do something with them. I was thinking of an htpc with some gaming capabilities for as cheap as possible. Most components are from 2001 or a little bit newer So here goes...

Ok, last night my borrowed laptop's hdd decided to die on me. BSoD won't recognize it. I decided to buy the compusa acer. Price came up to aprox. $520 (tax) and had to send it to florida cuz they didn't ship to P.R. I guess. So It'll be getting to FL aprox may 30 and to PR in early july I...

Will by any chance the acer from compusa be able to run WoW? Well I was thinking of getting a cheap desktop motherboard and use the Athlon 64 X2 from the aurora. But I would probably have to buy all the rest of the components for the build. Since I can't use the notebook ram or the video...

Even though this might be out of subject... I was thinking of using maybe the RAM for the laptop. The screen for a home-made projector(like the one on the guide here), although I don't think I'll be able to with a laptop lcd. And maybe use the processor and fit it in a AM2 socket mobo to do a...

Well then, that really helps a lot on my decision and saves me some $$$ :D It might be pretty useless but here are the specs anyways. Copied them from an auction but it's about the same: Model: Aurora M7700 (D9K) Screen: 17" WXGA+ (1440 x 900) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20Ghz 2GB Ram...

I've been reading some posts and checking new laptops. I was actually going to buy one in my local store but when I compared them online I saw better deals. I will only use the computer for internet and word processing. Being able to play WoW on it would be a plus (but not necessary). My...

Ok, sorry need your expertise once more... I've decided to wait for the launch of the new gpus and save up some more money and go with something different. Like I said before, I'm planning on buying a cheap notebook; which will be used for college maybe some WOW if it can handle it. Now I've...
