cak46 Posted July 2, 2005 CID Share Posted July 2, 2005 Check the computer that works and see if it is set with a static ip. If XP, then go to start>settings>network connections then right mouse click on 'local connection' then click once on 'tcp' then click the 'Properties' button. Let us know.....

cak46 Posted July 2, 2005 CID Share Posted July 2, 2005 uhm it says auto everything and i clicked advanced for ip its dchp How are your systems set up? For example, are both computers plugged in or, is one wireless and one wired? I can't tell from your inital post how your computers are physically set up for net access.........

cak46 Posted July 2, 2005 CID Share Posted July 2, 2005 I'm not ever sure which machine your talking about. Lets do this, Computer A is the one that works and has net access, computer B is not connecting. How is Machine A connected? eg: is it connected to a port on the westell or a port (wired) on the wireless g?
