When we first set it all up, I could access files etc on the "host" and also access the internet (although I couldn't get into the majority of MS sites incl. Hotmail). Now I seem to have lost the ability to access the internet at all. The host computer is up and running and has net access, and I can see the host from my guest computer, and still access files from it, I just can't make it connect over the wireless to the net. I've activated internet sharing on the host.	Supertrooper (2510)

248460	2004-06-30 00:55:00	I've got DHCP enabled on both machines :) What really confuses me is that I did have it working, ie I could access the internet from the host, but now it refuses to connect. aaaagghhh..	Supertrooper (2510)
