Hello everyone. im technically challenged and need help please. I have an additional laptop which is using a built in wireless chip which to all intents and purpose appears to be working. It seems to recognise my access point but it doesnt find my router/gateway and therefore i cant get internet access. the other laptop is very similar if a little older and works fine. i have 2 laptops and desktop that have no probs connecting. i have tried wireless cards and they work ok too but still no internet. All the others show the internet gateway icon and then i know i have access. i have no problems when its wired up. its driving me crazy. heres an ipconfig if thats any help. thanks adrian Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
