I connect to a server at work from home. When I use my desktop to connect I don’t hae any problems, but when use my laptop it says that it can’t communicate with my server. Why would it work on my desktop but not my laptop? I asked out IT guy at work and he thought it had something to do with my Internet provider, but I can’t figure out why it would work ok on my desktop and not my laptop. I set up the connection to not disconnect if it is idle. Does anybody have any ideas on what other things I can change on my laptop?

I am planning on creating a home server to host private files and videos throughout my house and I was wondering if it would be possible to use the server to host the wifi connection in general as well. I have an internet modem that I can connect via ethernet to the back of the server, and I would like to use the server’s wireless card to transmit my home network and internet connection.
I had an general idea of bridging the connections because I know that it works in reverse: a laptop receiving internet wirelessly can bridge its wireless card with its ethernet port and then a wired device can have internet access through that port. I’m assuming doing the same can work in reverse, yet I do not know if it is possible to host a wireless network through the server’s wireless card.

My computer is a remote computer that is connected to a router, I have a WAMP server (Apache) and want to be able to access it from anywhere by typing the ip of my sbc service and then some how go to MY computer on my home network. What do I put in my browser’s address bar to access the server???? I’m sure there is some genius out there who knows more than me…

We are converting our formal living room into a library with desks. Each desk will have a computer. Is it smarter to have them all on one server or have multiple towers and network them? The units will be 1) for my work and 2) & 3) for my young kids (whom I will want to supervise access on the internet closely).
We’re going with desk tops over laptops for upgrade-ability and I want them were I can see them. I admit to not knowing much about one option over another, any and all advice is welcome.

Like the OS would be on my internal HD but the backed up data would be on the external HD.
( for the external im thinking a 1TB USB 2.0…. )
