I want to be able to access my SQL Server on my computer from another computer on the network.

Both computers have SQL Server installed now I just need to know how to configure the Host system and what ports I need to open on the firewall for example.

Thanks.

I am using the AT&T "2 wire" wireless router. I have an HP printer that is already connected to the one downstairs. I made that printer a shared printer, but the other computer still isn’t detecting it on the network. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just finished building a new machine and need to transfer a ton of files and programs from my old computer. I have some ethernet cable I used to connect the two but I can’t figure out how to network them. I want to be able to access and move things from my old machine to the new one.

Also, is there a way to run a program that is located on the other machine without transferring. I have a game that I have since lost the key for and am unable to install it but would like the better performance of running it on my new machine. Thanks a lot.

I live in an apartment with 3 other roommates where all of us are connected to the internet through a wireless router. I also have a desktop and laptop computer, both with wireless adapters.

How can I setup just my two computers on a network so I can share files between them, and still stay connected to the internet, and without my roommates able to hop onto my network?

If I had lots of computers and laptops laying around in my house and they’re all on the internet, how can I start a private network with each? I don’t have any extra ethernet cables either. I have the new AT&T internet and a couple spare old modems. Can I use those to start a private network just by switching the ethernet cables?

Alright, we have a network of 4 computers, lets say PC A is the host, PC B, C, and D are other computers. Is there a way to make PC D not have Internet access while B and C still have it, but D still is able to access certain things like network places, etc. Their all wireless.

I dunno much about setting permissions, thanks.

I have a home network with several computers, and they all belong to a workgroup. Now I also have a laptop from my employer. If I connect to my employer’s VPN from the laptop I cannot see my home network’s workgroup, but I can see my workgroup if I am not connected to their VPN. Unfortunately, that means I have to bounce on and off the VPN any time I want to print something to the printer connected to one of my home PCs. Inconvenient.

Is there a way I can see my home network’s workgroup while I’m connected to my employer’s VPN? Or do you suppose they have that locked down by group policy and there’s no way around it?

I am in charge of finding out what we need to do to get a small network (9 computers) set up at our school here in Ecuador. We need each student to have an individual login, and also a network share on the server. We have all Windows XP machines, and can install windows Server 2000 or 2003.

Could someone please direct me to a guide, or the right direction to get this set up? Thanks in advance for your help.
