I have a laptop, a desktop, and a wireless router. The desktop is connected directly to the router and works fine. The laptop connected wirelessly gets excellent connection but does not connect to the internet. It doesnt even get a message in explorer that there is no connection, only a blank screen.
Laptop and desktop are both dells with xp. The laptop can connect to the internet when I string an ethernet cord directly into the router, the only problem is with the wireless.
I have noticed that my gateway address on the router matches the gateway on the laptop which seems to be the usual problem.
