1 AnswerDesktops1 decade agoBelkin Router question...?
So, my school just added a wireless network that guests can connect to, but when they do, they have to "log in", it shows a certain web page after they connect to the Wi-Fi network.
I was wondering if I could do the same thing with my Wi-Fi network at home? If so, tell me step-by-step on how to do it. I have a Belkin router.
Don't ask me why I would want to do this, I do okay?

1 AnswerDesktops1 decade agoHelp with Mario Kart Wii error code: 86420?
Okay, my dad and stepmom bought me Mario Kart Wii to play with my 6 year old brother, well, when I get back home, I set it all up, we exchange Friend Codes, we notice that when we click on each other's names, it says "Unable to meet up" and below that, it says "Connecting to Nintendo WFC" when we are both already connected.
Now, when one of us goes to the "Create a Room", the other person's Wii makes a sound and says something like "I've created a room!" and when they click "Meet up", not too long after, it says "Communication Error. Please visit support.nintendo.com for more help. Error code: 86420" I go there and what that says makes no sence to me!
"Error Code: 86420
This error occurs when there is a communication problem between players during online gameplay.
Try this:
If your router's security software (firewall) is turned on, it may block communication that is required for online gameplay. To fix this, try disabling the router's firewall*.
Most firewall settings are located under the "Advanced" or "Security" tab.
If the problem still persists with the firewall off, you may need to open ports on your router through the Port Forwarding feature.
Create a manual connection on your Wii and assign a static IP Address.
Open ports 1 through 65535 as both TCP and UDP.
Ensure the ports are forwarded to the same IP Address given to the Wii during the manual setup.
Trouble connecting to a friend?
If the above steps have not resolved the issue and you are trying to connect with specific friends, the problem could potentially be an issue on your friend's network. Your friend will have to perform these troubleshooting steps with their home network.
Using USB Connector or Lan Adapter? Please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we can assist you further.
*While Nintendo provides this information for our consumers' use, it is up to each consumer to determine what security needs they have for their own networks, and to decide how best to configure their network settings to meet those needs."
I don't know how to turn off my router's firewall.
I don't know what to do and I need help with this.
Can someone please hurry and give me an answer to this??
Thanks!
P.S.: I can get on Nintendo WFC and play other people around the world, but when I try to play with my brother, I can't... ):
2 AnswersNintendo Wii1 decade agoErasing and reinstalling computer OS?
Alright, my grandpa gave me his computer (Windows Vista Home Basic 32BIT) and when I got it, I realized that there were tons of problems with the computer.
I was wondering if I could insert the "Reinstallation DVD" into the computer and it erase EVERYTHING and reinstall Windows Vista?
I asked my friend if that was a good idea and he said that that wasn't what I was wanting to do because that disc is only for when the OS crashes. But I inserted it not too long ago and it said that if I ran the disc that it would erase all of my files, settings, and programs, and reset it just like it was a new computer.
And I told my friend this and he still said that's not what I do to do that.
He said I should "wipe my HD".
Isn't that what this disc does?
The disc label states exactly this...
"OPERATING SYSTEM
ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER
Reinstallation DVD
Windows Vista™ Home Basic 32BIT
The software is already installed on your computer. Only use this DVD to reinstall the operating system on a Dell™ PC.
Support for these products is provided by Dell.
For Distribution Only With a New Dell PC."
I told my friend everything that I stated here and he still said that this isn't what I want to do...
I'm asking you guys.
Does this disc remove EVERYTHING, and reinstall Windows Vista?
(I know I probably answered my own questions but just give me your opinion!)
Thanks!(:

4 AnswersMen's Health1 decade agoAvira AntiVir Premium antivirus software help?
I have Avira AntiVir Premium installed on my Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 computer, and when I start up my computer, Avira also starts. And I notice that the umbrella (to tell you if it's on or off) is closed (something is off). This is what the pop up says when i "roll-over" the icon in my toolbar at the bottom right.
Avira AntiVir Premium
-Guard: active
-MailGuard: stopped
-WebGuard: stopped
Normally if the last two were off, they'd say "inactive" instead of "stopped"
Also, when I open Avira, it says "Disabled" for "Online Protection", and then I click on the word "Disabled" and it says "Service Stopped" for both of them...
So, can you help me with this problem?

2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWindows Vista's Windows Media Player not working, help?
I just got a Windows Vista computer from my friend that didn't need it any more, and I had already put all of my information and files on it. And when I went to go open Windows Media Player, It showed the loading symbol next to the cursor and then went away after like a second and the program never came up and I tried reinstalling it after I downloaded it from http://download.cnet.com/ and it said,
"There is a more recent version of Windows Media Player (11.0.6002.18111) already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and older installation package (11.0.5721.5146) to install files or to repair your current version of the Player."
I can't even open Windows Media Player.

2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoWindows Easy transfer "The Migration Failed" on Windows XP, any help?
Alright, I have a Windows Vista Home Basic computer, I also have a Windows XP SP3 computer.
Now, since I got this new computer, I wanted to transfer everything from my old computer (Windows XP computer) to my new one (Windows Vista).
But when I installed and ran the program that my Vista computer told me to install on my XP computer to help with the transfer (Windows Easy Transfer), it came up with a dialog box that started out saying "The Migration Failed: Windows Easy Transfer will now be canceled" and when I click OK, it says "Closing Windows Easy Transfer." and that is really the only way to get my files over to my new computer. I have a LOT of files on my old computer that need to get transferred to this one and I REALLY don't want to do it the old way because I know if I do thnI will forget like half of the files that are on my old computer.
Can someone help with this problem???

2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoRebooting jailbroken iPhone help?
Ok, so my iPhone 3G is jailbroken and when I go install something on Cydia, sometimes it reboots randomly, I had it jailbroken previously and it did the same thing then and I thought a restore and a few months of being unjailbroken it would fix some problems, ... NOT!
This is really getting on my nerves!
And it's not an expected thing, well it is but it's not timed. (like it's random.)
And when it does a reboot, it takes about 4-5 minutes for it to come back on.
Is there something that I can do to stop this from randomly rebooting?
(besides unjailbreaking, don't be stupid people, be real and help me out!)
