Hi,
I have my main computer wired to a Motorola WR850G router. All works fine
under windows XP.
The laptop is also configured for its Acer wireless card running under XP
and is able to connect to the network. However, although the laptop is
connected to the network I cannot access the internet with the laptop. I
have tried altering the IP and subnet settings but to no avail.
The router uses IP 192.168.10.1 and the computer uses 192.168.10.2, as such
I have set the laptop to 192.168.10.3
I checked the router log and it shows that the laptop has connected OK.
What could I try to get the laptop to connect to the internet. The firewall
is not a problem since it is allowing the laptop to connect to the router. I
am assuming it must be one or more of the internet connection settings eg
the TCP/IP settings, but I cannot figure it out.
Help much appreciated, I am sure it is really easy, but I can't solve this
one.
