| 278518 | 2004-10-05 20:53:00 | I have an existing PC conecting to the internet via ethernet cable to an external Jetstream gateway. PC has recently been upgrade to SP2 and I've added a wrieless broadband router with an access point. Everything is fine. I've just built a new PC with a wireless card, installed XP Pro and SP2. It connects to the PC OK but cannot find the internet gateway. |

| 278521 | 2004-10-06 02:17:00 | Then it should pick the gateway up via DHCP as well. Have you tried some traceroutes, modified any firewall software you may be running? |

Type tracert www.xtra.co.nz or any other valid ip address and the hops taken to reach the destination will be displayed or it will stop when it gets to a point where it can't reach the next hop. |
