hello members: I've small home network in my home, using it to get DSL connection. we have Conexant router. this is its info: BootCode Version: BC_CX82xxx_4.1.0.21 Firmware Version: CX82xxx_4.1.0.21_S Customer Software Version: 4.1.0.21_ please I've some questions: 1. how can I know the computers that are online now on network? net view command now not working. also when I go to Entire Network, then press Microsoft windows network the computer not talk, and should use end now to be healthy again. why this option not working now? and how I fix this? 2. is there any way make me prevent any virus or spy move from the network to me? am not share any files or folder for anyone. thanks. ibraam.
Hi,
I do not know the router so cannot help with the product. But I shall give
you some troubleshooting tips.
1. Each workstation must get an IP Address. Find them out and ping each
machine. If you are getting replies, then the router is forwarding the
traffic through correctly. If not, then the problem is on the router or
your Firewall on the workstations are blocking ICMP traffic.
2. Make sure all workstations are in the same workgroup. I expect you are
not using Active Directory (AD).
3. Remove (disable) all Firewalls on the workstations and perform tip 1, if
tip one failed. If tip 1 works, then you should be able to see the
machines.
4. Ping from workstation 1 to workstation 2 and check the ARP. If you see
the MAC address of workstation 1 in workstation 2 ARP table, then you know
they are communicating and the issue is related to your Windows set-up.

Hi,
To test DSL speeds, you need to use FTP or HTTP to download a file from a
known source which has a higher speed than your DSL. There are web sites
that claim they can test the speed of your DSL. Be careful with any
performance testind due to the nature of the Internet. Your traffic could
take path A on one download and path B on the second download from the same
site. The B path might go through a service which has lower speeds than
path A. Use speed testing of the DSL as a guideline. The only true way to
test your DSL is by downloading from your ISP FTP site if they provide one.
Finding who is on the network is something your router has to do or the
server. This depends on if people have connected to your Server or
workstation. If all your traffic goes through the router, then there should
be an ARP command or a link showing connected network devices. The MAC
addresses or IP Addresses is how you can find out how many and who is on.
I don't know what you mean by Net View? In Windows, you can see all
Workstations which have turned on File and Printing sharing. You need to
use the Entire Network option under My Network places. This shows only
those computers in your workgroup.

Hi,
The net view command uses the network neighbourhood information to show
a list of machines on the network. These days it is highly unreliable,
due to the fact that WINS servers are not being used as much in
corporate environments, plus on home networks with XP, the firewall is
usually blocking most of the peer-to-peer network traffic - what is
happening in this case I think.
The only reliable way to view connections on the network is to view the
ARP table on the router, or the DHCP assignment table. Unfortunately, I
don't know how to view the ARP table on the Conexant based router,
though a Google may help you.
If all clients are running the XP firewall, then it is not very likely
that your machine will be able to receive packets from another machine
on your network running virus/worm software. I am not saying that this
is impossible, and of course if the firewall is switched off, or the
default configuration is modified, then this doesn't apply.
Andrew.
