460082 2006-06-02 13:40:00 Have you configured your gateway IP correctly for the laptop? Also DNS as mentioned previously?

Network connections, r-click your wireless connection and select status, choose support tab. This should give you your IP, subnet mask, and Gateway.

Edit - Took too long!

460083 2006-06-02 13:42:00 Which device is acting as the DHCP server? Are they both acting as a server? Erayd (23)
460084 2006-06-02 13:44:00 IP = 192.168.1.13
SUBNET = 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY = 192.168.1.1

460085 2006-06-02 13:45:00 See post #13. Which machine's IP info is that? Erayd (23)
460086 2006-06-02 13:48:00 DHCP I am not sure, where would I find that out?

the IP info is from the laptop.

460087 2006-06-02 13:52:00 You would find that out from the configuration page on each device. What is the IP address of the modem? What is the IP address of the AP? What is the same info for the desktop machine? Erayd (23)
460088 2006-06-02 14:02:00 Modem =
IP 192.168.1.2
DHCP Enabled

Access Point
IP 192.168.1.250
Can't see a DHCP setting anywhere on here

Desktop
IP 192.168.1.12

460089 2006-06-02 14:10:00 There's your problem. The modem's IP (192.168.1.2) and the laptop gateway (192.168.1.1) should be identical. Change the gateway setting on the laptop (to 192.168.1.2), and also in the modem DHCP settings.

If you can't see a DHCP setting on the AP, it's probably not capable of being a DHCP server. Don't worry about it.

460090 2006-06-02 14:25:00 Did this solve your problem? I'm going to bed soon, so if you have any last-minute questions ask them now! (or wait for someone else to answer them). Erayd (23)
