Hey guys,
To cut out the chaff I'll briefly explain the situation:
■Laptop connects to the internet via its wireless adapter and my wireless router. There are no problems here it's all going fine. My phone and other laptops in the house are all connected to the router with no dramas.
■I've currently connected my PC (which has no wireless card) to my laptop via Ethernet cable and allowed all the internet sharing settings with the hopes of using the internet on my PC (I've done this successfully in the past but it's not working now for some reason).
■The LAN network is Unidentified and as such won't let a connection pass from laptop to PC.
■Used the diagnose function on the LAN network and got this message: "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration".
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this, please. My technical know-how when it comes to networking, IP addresses etc isn't all that good but I'm computer-savvy so will be able to follow any instructions. I have access to my routers login and all that if required. A friend of mine mentioned something about DHNC or somesuch but I don't know what all that's about.
Thanks in advance,
