computer issues server.
Sir James A:
Back when I did the Microsoft NT4 MCSE courses (1960? lol), it was 100 meters, whatever that ends up as in feet (300 sounds right). No idea if the Cat5E / Cat6 can go farther? Probably just me, but I wouldn't trust wireless for 300 feet like that, both security and quality of connection.
Sir Edward:
It's about 10 feet to every 3 meters, so 330 feet then.
Sir Wolf:
ok in talking to derek and john last night i have several issues. the network in the office can see 3 of 4 computers in there. the reason they cant see the fourth (server) is cause it had a random ip setting instead of a permanite one after it got rebuilt. also, the network is set to public and not a work group private. so its in effect working against itself in the sharing. they also think the issue lies with my router. they think its on the way out and has limited reach. thats why the house laptop could see it but the bridge could not. all 4 office computers could ping the bridge and i could access it thru them via a web browser.
so today i bought a new N900 series router. and hope to install it this weekend and get all the other bugs out.
anyone know how to get a windows 7 computer to go from HOME to WORK? i couldn't figure that out last night? Also have a Vista set as Public instead of Work

Ugh, Vista/7 is a pain with that. This might help:
