Problems with accessing websites on LAN...

My best advice would be to get a router - they're cheap, and would eliminate all those ICS headaches... If you're really dedicated to using ICS (for some bizarre reason), you might post a bit more information on the setup - what OSes are running, any other software (firewalls, etc), and maybe...

What are your best air cooled Athlon XP Temp??

Subnet Mask?

Subnet masks aren't always 255.255.255.255 - in fact it usually WON'T be that. The subnet mask basically tells the computer when it needs to look outside its particular router to find another machine... A mask of 255.255.255.0 would mean that if the first three octets matched between a...

need help setting up webserver

I dunno about yours in particular, but a lot of routers don't support internal loopback (going out of your router, then to a server back inside again). You can test external access to your site by going to anonymizer and typing in the external IP. If doing so works, you know that's the...

Now that I have a router, do I need my software firewall?

If you're really concerned, install the NetBEUI protocol, bind File and Print Sharing to it, and unbind it from TCP/IP. Since NetBEUI is non-routable, your stuff won't get past the router. If you're running XP, you'll have to download the NetBEUI protocol from Microsoft's website (just search...

Now that I have a router, do I need my software firewall?

I don't believe so... If you've got your subnet (probably like 192.168.0.0 unless you changed it in the router setup) in the trusted local zone and the subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0, it'll only trust computers with addresses of 192.168.0.x - which you won't find on the internet since...

DynDNS will allow you to run a server off a static IP, and it's a free service. It would probably be best not to - depending on your rate plan they may frown on it. Check out this site for more good info on setting up your own webserver.

Need help setting up Printer/Scanner on Broadband Router

IIRC, the X63 is USB only - I don't think you can even plug it into your router's print server. SO, you're left plugging it into one of the PCs and using File/Print sharing to share it (which, as others have said is the better way anyhow). That should work fine for your printer. You can't...
