A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data//information, and provides output in a useful format.

While a computer can, in theory, be made out of almost anything (see misconceptions section), and mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). Originally, they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most numerous.

How to connect 2 computers to the internet?
Q. I have got 1 computer which is connected to the internet using a virgin media modem. But i recently bought a new computer and i want to connect that to the internet aswell. I have got a Belkin wireless router that can connect both computers to the internet. I have installed the software for one computer but i can't do it for the other one. Please help!

A. Odds are you probably don't need to install the CD on the 2nd computer. I'm assuming you are using DHCP, which simply means letting the wireless router send the IP addresses, etc. to the computers on your lan automatically. You've probably already done this but I'll mention it just in case so we have a complete picture. Your wireless router is now connected to your ISP's modem, and your 2 computers are connected to that. Now, 1 of the computers is connecting fine but the other wasn't able to install the CD so it's not, yes..? I'd try going to the Control Panel on the machine that isn't connecting and try the Windows Wizard to try and create a new internet connection. Just tell it to automatically get the settings from the wireless… [cont.]

How to detect what computers are using a public network?
Q. Hello, I was just wondering how to detect what computers are on a public network. I do not intend to do anything malicious to their computer... It is a public network with no encryption... I can do a manual way but a program would be more helpful... Thanks in advance.

A. You can use a program to scan the ip range of that network, and report back its results. I do this using a program that is freely available called Advanced IP Scanner v1.5.

Can computer connected through router see workgroup on computers connected to modem?
Q. Here's the situation: I have a modem which have 4 connections. 1 of them is connected to a wireless router and 3 others to computers. When I connect to the router, I can see the workgroup computers of others who use wireless. However, I can't see the workgroup computers of those connected to the modem. Any way to solve this?

A. you might want to try switching your connections around, try connecting the computers to the router and connect the modem to the port on the router specifically for modems (IE: a linksys router has a modem connection to the left of the other ones, separate). Also, if this isn't your problem, make sure all the computers are in the same workgroup.
