Nope no proxies and I've switched off all firewalls on both laptops and that still didn't do the trick!

Make sure you Wireless on your laptop is ENABLED there should be a switch somewhere on the face of the laptop usually at the back or side

mightyboosh · 10-04-08, 02:58 PM

The switch on mine is on the front, left hadside...
Countless number of times that has been switched of by mistake and caused me great troubles! Good luck

moobsuk · 10-04-08, 03:01 PM

HEHEHE the simple things always seem to be the trouble

Vista in my opinion of it, in networking terms is a pain in the ass! I have had problems with networking sharing between 2 PC's one with XP pro the other with Vista Ultimate.

Its always worth going to the following :

Internet Explorer>Internet Option> LAN Settings>and then clearing all the ticks out.

Then from your taskbar (by the windows clock) right click the windows Wireless connection and choose repair, I have found this to cause issues too.

can you open a command prompt from your laptop and do me a IPCONFIG /all
and then post a screenshot of the results?

Definately enabled because both laptops connect to each other, with full strength. Just the damn internet doesn't work on the wireless one!

Yep I've cleared all the ticks from the LAN settings box. I'll do the screenshots for you tonight. Thanks for your help

We've gone nearly all week with the internet on just one laptop, only got until Sunday now but would be great if I could manage to get it working. Plus now it's got to the point where I just wanna know what's wrong!

(Rep added too

)

Praj07 · 10-04-08, 08:21 PM

Ok, here's a screen shot of the second laptop (the one that won't connect)..

Spoiler

If it makes a difference, when I open up internet explorer, the connection times out and then says cannot display page..

moobsuk · 10-04-08, 09:32 PM

aye m8 can you do a ipconfig /all next time

then can you type in tracert Google

the tracert will show where the laptop is hoping to in order to get to a Internet connection hopefully

Praj07 · 11-04-08, 03:08 PM

Here you go:

Spoiler

It ends with saying trace complete..

What now?

Thanks again for your help!

moobsuk · 11-04-08, 03:13 PM

ok lets clarify the IP address's first

your IP address on the private side of your LAN is 192.168.0.92 & your Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1

The default gateway is where you want your laptop to point to ( you want it to point towards your Internet connection, now if that was a router the routers are normally set to 192.168.0.1, if its a case of you sharing internet and using someone elses PC/Laptop as the gateway you should change the default gateway on your laptop to match the IP address of the laptop/PC that is the main Internet user, if that makes sense :P )

To clarify, check both your laptop and the other laptop are both on the same IP address Range.
Can you post the IP address & Subnet mask & the Default gateway of the other machine too

Praj07 · 11-04-08, 03:18 PM

So what you're saying is:

Wireless laptops default gateway should be same as ip address of laptop connected to internet via LAN?

I'll get that other info for you now.

Praj07 · 11-04-08, 03:22 PM

These are the details of the other laptop (the one connected to the internet via LAN):

i.p address = 10.84.51.150
default gateway = 10.84.51.254
subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

What do you reckon I should do now? Thanks

moobsuk · 11-04-08, 03:52 PM

Well your 2 laptops are on different IP address's thats why there not "talkin" to each other

where did the other laptop get that IP address from?

Praj07 · 11-04-08, 03:56 PM

Um, not sure where the other laptop got it's ip address from? Where does the ip address usually come from?

On my laptop (one connected to the net), in the wireless properties, the internet protocol version 4 properties say to obtain the ip address etc automatically.. it's the same with the other laptop too.. does that have anything to do with it?

What can I do now to fix the problem?

moobsuk · 11-04-08, 04:10 PM

Ok let me get this right?

Your laptop is Vista and connects to the router?

Is the Router Wireless?

There's no router.

My laptop is vista and connects to the internet via ethernet.

The second laptop is XP and connects directly to mine via wireless through an ad-hoc network.

The internet doesn't work on
