There are a few important actions that MUST be completed even by the most casual computer user...

  1. Disk Cleanup

    These are probably the 3 most important actions to perform on your computer on a regular basis to keep it running a peak performance.

    Disk Cleanup clears your cookies, temporary internet files, empties recycle bin, compresses old files, and more. There are also other great programs out there (such as Cleanup Assistant, Zappit System Cleaner, and WinDirStat which are all free) to use for this that goes a little further and cleans your registry, shreds files to make them untraceable, and gives you more of a visual layout of your hard drive(s).

Avast Anti-Virus and AVG Anti-Virus are two great free Anti-Virus programs but the free versions do not come equipped with firewalls.

Wireless Network Bridge Setup and Microsoft Windows XP

In order to Executive Office Chairs more than two computers using Online Home Appraisal Courses wireless network bridge you Business Computer Software Xxasdf first need to install an adapter in Phillys Famous Cheese Steaks of Pink Sapphire Engagement Ring computers and after this run a CAT5 cable to connect them all to a hub Free Web Hosting Provider a switch. The computer you plan to use for bridging will have two types of adapters inserted in his mainboard: a normal LAN adapter that you should've already put in, and a wireless network adapter that will help by making a connection to Video Conferencing Program Risky Stock Investments or wireless access point.

Now, let us take this whole process step by step. After you have installed and connected the network adapters go to the computer you intend using for bridging and open Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections. Remember that in order to create a wireless network bridge you shall need at least 2 connections that do not use to different processes. These processes are ICF (internet firewall) and the ICS (internet sharing).

Now you should be in the Network Connections folder and you must be seeing a bunch of connections. Well, each of these connections is actually each of your network cards - one for the wireless one and one for the wired one. Now go open the connection for the wireless adapter and go to the details pane. You will see that it is working perfectly. Now it is recommended for you to check the Ethernet connection as well, and it should be working just fine as well. Now, all you have to do is click both connections at the same time (this is done by holding the control key and selecting each connection), then right click on any of the connections and select the Bridge Connections submenu. After the computer has finished configuring the bridge connection, you will see a Network Connection window.

ICS and ICF

I have mentioned somewhere above that, in order to have a bridge connection you have to select only those connections that are not being used by ICS and ICF. I might have mentioned as well that ICS stands for internet Connection sharing and ICF for internet connection firewall. A650 Free Ringtone Samsung Verizon course, you may need ICS or ICF in Ada Finance Loans cases. No matter the reason, you will first need a third adapter. In other words, if you indeed need ICS of ICF you will have to run to the local computer hardware store and get yourself a new adapter card. However, even with three adapters the task is rather tricky because in order to make bridge this way (by wanting to enable either ICS or ICF or both) you will have to bridge before enabling any of them.

You can always use the setup wizard for these tasks but the order is imperative. First use the setup wizard to create the bridge and then to enable ICS or ICF. Now the wizard will look for an Internet Connection and will try to configure ICF and last, if you wish, bridge more network cards that are connected to your network.
