Where can I see the difference of wired vs wireless in the frame header structure in wireshark? And what describes the physical setup in both 802.3 & 802.11?

Thanks!

old desktop computer - need router or will modem do

The only reason for a router is to have more than 1 device to go to the internet. The device can be anything with a network card (phones, tablets, tvs, etc)

If the computer is close to the modem, it will only need 1 Ethernet cord, providing the computer has an Ethernet card.

As the others have said, your only choices are cellular and satellite.

With respect to cellular performance, it really depends on the location you're in. A couple of months ago, I went on a trip to Puerto Rico. One of the things that stood out to me while I was there was how good their cellular system is. I mean it's shamefully good. To the point that I'm embarrassed about the cellular service I have back home in a major US metropolitan area. I was able to pull down 4G service over Sprint for the majority of the areas I was in. I took the ferry over to Vieques island which is over 6 miles off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico in the Atlantic. I had 4G service for the majority of the 6 mile trip and only had a service black out for about 15 minutes of the 1.5 to 2 hour boat ride. Once I was on the island I was able to get 4G coverage again. The performance of the 4G service was incredible too. I did a speed test and was able to pull down 30 Mb and upload 15 Mb.

Again, I'm embarrassed with the state of cellular service in the US.

Wireless Card Issues

Install the latest wireless driver from the laptop manufacturer's web site.

If that does not fix the problem then install the latest driver direct from Intel's web site.

If you still get such a horrible looking graph (it should be nearly a straight line) I agree that the antenna leads could be loose or corroded or the wireless card may be loose or its contacts corroded.

I have 2 boxes one for cable and one for the internet.
You're not making much sense. "Boxes" is very non-descriptive. I have lots of boxes; most of them are cardboard and have nothing to do with networking.

The TECHNICOLOR tc8305c is a combination cable modem/wireless router/VoIP adapter. I assume/hope that the Comcast coax cable is connected to the TECHNICOLOR tc8305c. Please describe the remainder of your network using terms like "router" and "switch" and "ethernet" and "wireless" and "computer" instead of "boxes." :)

What are you trying to tell us, Eric?

Your ipconfig /all indicates that you are connected by Wi-Fi to a router with LAN address 192.168.0.1 and that it now or in the past has/had internet access through RoadRunner in the Tampa Bay area. The ethernet is connected to a router that also has LAN address 192.168.0.1 but appears to be a different router.

Even if you get the port forward configuration to take on the Actiontec, it may still not work. The last I heard Verizon blocks any port 80 traffic. Obviously this restriction is more for the residential users. From what I heard, this policy was instituted back when the Code Red worm was running rampid attacking unpatched MS IIS servers. You may have to use an HTTP redirector.

Remove your tunnel adapters.

Run this tool and get the best dns server for your machine.
https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

Now apply the dns settings.

After you apply the dns server found open elevated command prompt and type the following hitting enter after each.

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Well, the only change that has occurred in my system is the absolute corruption of Java. I'll have to create a new thread to ask for help with the full removal and re-installation of Java.

Modem connectivity issues

Here are the exact same models I have - http://i.imgur.com/4NeCttL.png?1

As I'm typing here, it's working properly, here is the status of both of them:

Modem
Power: ON
Receive: Flashing
Send: Flashing
Cable: ON
PC: OFF
Line1: OFF
Line2: OFF

Router (on the picture, from left to right)
Power: ON
System: Flashing
WLAN: ON
Line1: ON
Line2: Flashing
Line3: OFF
Line4: OFF
WAN: Flashing
QSS: OFF

**NOTES:Now for the router, Line 2 is my computer that is connected and using the network and Line 1 is the second computer that is currently shut down.**

I am connected by cable to the router, two devices connected (and yes they are both affected whenever this happens, both PCs running on windows 7) and I have never done the power cycle.

I will come back and post the status when the internet disconnects.

And if Derek is right about that then please also show an ipconfig /all for when ethernet is on and wireless is off.

I don't know if no-ip works in a special way (e.g., forcing a user to go through it), but in general when a URL's IP changes it can take a few hours or longer for all DNS servers to get updated and also sometimes a DNS server just plain has the wrong address for some reason. So, even though you have ruled it out, please make sure that the person with the problem is really getting the correct current IP address.

In-fact there seems to be some issue where he can't even connect directly to the servers actual IP address & bypass the DDNS.
I do not understand why that is the case unless his ISP's routing is incorrect. Have him try a tracert to your IP address. For comparison following is what I get (with your posting IP obscured). For better comparison have somebody else near him but not having the problem also do a tracert.

Which of the suggestions worked?

File sharing from Windows XP to Windows 7

Both computers have public IP addresses. Are you paying extra for a second IP address?

File sharing does not work over the internet. You'll have to connect them to the same LAN (direct connection, or using a switch w/o internet access, or using a router) to do the file sharing.

If the computer is running Windows ...

Please attach a screen shot of the Networks page (don't collapse the Radar, Connection or Signal History) of the Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector. If your only email accounts are free (Hotmail, gmail, etc.) try this direct link. If you need help with a screen shot see TSG Posting a Screenshot. FWIW to take screen shots with Windows 8 or 7 or Vista I prefer to use the built-in Snipping Tool.

Also show ...

Open a (black) Command Prompt window:
Hold the Windows logo key and press r; in the Run box type cmd and click on OK.

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

Can that be explained a little more? I think I would plug the main router into the Netgear's LAN port and not WAN.
You want everything to be on one LAN, so you are correct to connect the routers by LAN to LAN. You would only use the second router's WAN port if you were looking for some extra security--for example, let house guests connect to the first router but your own computers to the second.
