Hi there.
I've been using a Linksys Router (not wireless) with my Xbox and Home Desktop for sometime now without issues. However, I need to get my company laptop onto the net through my router too.
When I hook it up, it gets an IP address and I am able to ping a variety of sites. However if I use a browser, it cannot find the server and dies with the usual IE error page. Similarly my email package cannot connect to the server, and I cannot FTP. Windows Update is able to download the latest upates though.
If I connect same laptop to my mates router at his house I get exactly the same problem.
If I connect at work, it finds the network, and I can surf the web if I choose a proxy.
So whats my problem at home? Can any of you experts out there help me with this please?
Zero.
