Here's what you have to do:\n\n1. Click>Start>ControlPanel>Network Connections\n2. Right Click>Local Area Network>Properties\n3. Click> InternetProtocol(TCP/IP)>properties\n4. Make an IP address \n                   ex: computerXP: 192.168.14.1\n                   ex: computer2k:  192.168.14.2\n    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (which is applicable for both                     computers\n\n5. If your using a network HUB the previous steps are a must use.\n\n6. If your using a network router, here are some additional stepes you must do.\n\n7. Know your gateway, which can be found in your network router settings.\n\n8. Once gateway is obtained, then include the gateway into your settings. The gateway is for internet purpose.\n\n\nIF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS e-mail me at: butchqt08@yahoo.com

Cheapest way would be to turn off dhcp then manually setup the IP configs of each machine only putting in DNS on the 3 you want to hit the net. Surely you have a brother in law or local geek that can do that for ya.\n\nNext cheapest depending on physical location you could also add cards and new cable just to the machines you want on the internet.  You'd use the local lan for local ip traffic and the Internet lan for internet traffic. You may already have the ability to do this via wireless and not have to add cables depending on the router at the internet connection.\n\nIf you have a programmable router at the internet connection there may be a way to give permissions to just 3 machines.  If you don't you could put one in between the internet connection and your switch.   Each switch is different so I can't give you specific instructions.  You'll need help from your geek friend to pick one out and set it up.\n\nThe Cyber cafe's idea will work but might be expensive in cost / time as it's overkill for what you need. I've left a link in my sources to the cybercafes reviewed by tucows and a link to a interesting piece of software for 20 bucks that does exactly what you asked for.  I can't comment on whether it works well or not but it's shareware so you can try before you buy.  Note: Software solutions are sub-optimal to the hardware type solutions I mentioned.

broadband modem with Wi-Fi router and plug in USB WiFi adapter under £40 from www.dabs.com.\n\nplug in the broadband router and modem in to the room were the phone line is. then plug the USB stick (once you have installed the driver software) into the second PC.\n\nset up the Wi-Fi security and the firewall to block all other devices that you dont own by Filtering which devices you want to allow access to your network set up the MAC address of all the Wi-Fi devices in the filter.\n\nyou can have upto Four computers connected VIA cable to the router with additional Wi-Fi connectors.\n\nhave one pc in the same room as the phone line and direct connect (cable) it to the router. if you dont do this you will need an aditional Wi-Fi adapter for the other computers on your home network.\n\nthe reason for filtering the devices on your network is simply so that you don't end up being kicked off your OWN network by unauthorised access. you should also block the router from broadcasting it's signal.\n\nand all firewalls should block in and outgoing ICMPand ICMPv6

1. Where are you  currently located?\n2. Did you survey the CYBER CAFEs hot spots in DUBAI\n   - which is those most demanded and least.-\n\n2. How much modal, \nare you intending to venture into this cyber cafe business?\n - Do you have that amount to invest.\n\n3. Do you have all the legal issues or required  by local authorities settled?\n\nand other next phase of issues required after these are basics to be settle. (to be consider later; \nbut very often good location are the best profits)\n\nanswer : CAN YOU AFFORD and CAN YOU EXPECT TO SURVIVE with COMPEITION.

You can use wireless bridges, which with the right antennas have a range of up to 25 miles if you have an unobstructed line of sight.  Somewhere in the middle, you'll want to find someone who owns a tall object (radio stations, cell phone companies, billboard companies) which you can see right to from both offices, and is willing to let you mount a bridge up there.  \n\nSo, you'd have one wireless bridge on the roof at the first office, with a powerful antenna pointed straight at a wireless bridge on a tower several miles away.  It'll have one antenna pointed at your first office, and one pointed at your second office.  At your second office, you'll also have a powerful antenna, and it'll also need to be pointed straight at the bridge in the middle.  \n\nYou'll be able to get a much faster connection than you could with VPN over ordinary internet connections.  Most office internet connections have bandwidth of 1-3Mbps total, which would have to carry your VPN traffic and your regular internet traffic (email, websites, ect).  With wireless, you could easily have a huge 11Mbps pipe.  By the way, for the distances you're dealing with, I'd expect about $8000 worth of equipment.  Some companies flat out buy it, some spread it out over two year payments.    \n\nCity people won't always bother doing wireless, but I've talked to people with offices in the middle of nowhere, who loved their  bridges.  Some organizations also find it quite a bit more cost effective than buying internet access at each location.  \n\nMost companies will do VPN instead of buying wireless bridges. You'll need an internet connection at both offices.  If you have an office firewall, it probably has VPN functions.  For a very simple, reliable setup, get a good firewall/vpn box at each location, and just connect them, as a site to site VPN.  \n\nA 1300 series wireless bridge:\nhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/index.html\n\nA couple of good firewalls (Cisco's classic Pix, and their new ASA):\nhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/index.html\nhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/index.html

Based from my learning experience, you should do this:\n\n\nGo to Network Neighborhood\n    >Properties\n         >Client for Microsoft Network\n         >TCP/IP\n                >Properties> I.P. address> subnet mask will  \n                 automatically displayed\n                 make sure the I.P. address is different to one another    \n                   ex. 198.176.0.1  for PC1\n                          198.176.0.2 for PC 2\n                          198.176.0.3 for PC 3\n        > Ethernet/LAN Card\n           --->Click Add Tab-> Protocol > Microsoft ---> NETBEUI\n                                                                           ---->IPX/SPX\n        > File and Print Sharing (check the box)\n\nGo to My Computer\n      > Open> Local Disk > properties > Network Sharing and      \n                                                                 Security  \n      > Properties > Computer Name: PC1, PC2 or PC3 \n                               Workgroup: (any word must be the same )

In order to set this up, you will need to use something known as VPN, or Virtual Private Networking.  Setting this up will vary based your network at work.  If you simply need to access your work PC from home, I highly recommend LogMeIn.com.  They have a free version that may meet most of your needs.

create a small network . You need a router, you can go wireless or not, but the router is a necessity. It will enable you to plug another pc in, or to use the wireless connection for one or several other pc.\nYour modem will connect into your router, which will dispatch the information to all the computers.\nYou can download network magic (google it), it is free, and helps you setting and handling your network.\nIf you fear another unwanted pc would access your account, network magic will tell you about any intruders, and how to secure your network.

Using windows XP, buy a router, hook all the computer up to it, setup the network and get everything running, and then attach the printer to one computer and share that printer on the network, easy as pie!

In order to set something like this up, you need to be looking at setting up a cluster.  Some OS's support this, and there are some hardware solutions (Foundry makes one) that do it as well.  \n\nYou can't really do it with DNS records though.  If you're getting enough hits to have to worry about this, you need a more robust solution than anything you could do with DNS.

Each machine will nead to have a NIC (network interface card) installed. The cheapest and fastest way would be to buy four Cat 5e ethernet cables and network the machines together using a Hub, Router or Switch. If you have Windows XP, you're done. Windows XP will automatically configure the network for you. If you have an earlier version you'll have to go to Network Places and add a network, on each machine.\n\nGood luck and have fun.

There are a few factors you have to consider, which all stem from what type of VPN connection you are going to use. \n\nThere are a number of methods to create a VPN connection.  For example, you could be using Microsoft's VPN connection or you could be using another method like Cisco (which would connect to an appliance.)\n\nWhichever way it is, the steps are pretty straight forward as far as setting up a VPN connection from a client side.  If you are asking about setting up a full VPN solution including the network you are trying to connect to, that's a different story.\n\nWindows XP Pro makes it pretty easy to create a Microsoft VPN connection.  Bring up your Network Connections window and click on "Create a new connection" to start the wizard.  The wizard will ask you which kind of connection you want (you'll want to dial into a workplace that labels VPN) and what the IP address or hostname of your target is (which should be provided by your network administrator.)  \n\nIf your VPN connection is to an appliance, contact your network administrator for the client program needed to install on your machine.\n\nZone Alarm does through a slight curveball.  If you have to install a third-party program to connect via VPN, you'll need to establish that program as a "Trusted program" within Zone Alarm.  This should let your VPN connection through.  You may need your network administrator for tweaks.\n\nIf you are using Microsoft's VPN solution, you might just want to turn off Zone Alarm while connecting.  \n\nHope this helps!
