Hey i set up a network, and i can't do alot of things i used to be able to do, so how do u set up a network administrator, i have windowns XP, and one of the things i can't to is chat on line microphone(MNS)

[kaiweiler]

In your last post you said it was your mic that was the problem? <_<
Also try keeping all your related threads in one

Ok, sorry, i am kinda new, and it is my mic and some other things as well

well if your account is an administrator account then you are automatically a network admin.

do you have a firewall or is the xp firewall enabled? make sure they are off and try again.

if it still doesnt work then check your router configuration for any firewall options or see if it is blocking any connections.

[Russian_kid7777]

I checked all the firewalls i could think off, (windows Xp, The one in wireless network connection proporties, and the software i have is off) so i can&#39;t think of any other reason, cause it worked fine before (when i had just the DSL modem with my computer)

[tesco]

its most likely blocked ports in your router config. look at the manual and find out how to forward ports, then find out what ports need to be forwarded. or if tehre is an options somewhere to choose whether the router blocks all ports or only specified ones check off only specified ones, then dont enter any.

Okay, i got a SMC router and the only manual that came with it was just a setup thing, so i have no idea how to forward ports, can any one maybe point me in the right direction or should i try and phone the company and ask them for assistance?

first try this and if it doesnt work call them.

go into internet explorer then type 192.168.0.1
then if a username&#092;password box comes up put in admin as username and dont type anything for password.
in the screen that comes up find virtual server or something like that and if it is there then you can type in hte port number you need and you put your computers ip address.

hmm, look at your network connection status and see what your default gateway ip is, then type that into internet explorer.

try resetting the router, unplug it for a few seconds then plug back in and try again, sometimes that hapopens to me it just locks up
