Ok I'm verging on the edge of insanity at this point and hopefully some kind soul will be able to save me before I tumble into the abyss.

Where to start......

The laptop is running XP and pc is running Me. The wireless broadband connection is Binatone WL 1000. Followed all instructions and everything looked good. Installed hardware, software. Laptop can see the access point and has good connection but there is no connection to the internet no matter you do, tapdancing and handstands included. Have pinged with success from both machines, have unistalled, reinstalled til I'm blue in the face. Spent a long time on the telephone to Binatone being talked through all the steps for him to say that what was needed was some up to date software from NTL???? Rang NTL and basically they said unplug the lot and wait a couple minutes etc, etc. Failing that take it back and buy such and such instead. They have no idea what the man from Binatone meant about software.

So back to nice man at Binatone who talked us through some more steps to no avail. He was left baffled, I was left sectionable. We changed the link cable to a crossover but still no joy. At the moment it's been about 23 hours with very little sleep. I really don't want to admit defeat but I'm running out of options and prozac

I also have 3 IP addies. AP is 192.168.1.1 , Laptop 192.168.1.2 and PC 192.168.1.3

I'm sure I've left out loads of important relevant info but as everything other than being able to browse the net from the laptop I couldn't think of anything specific to add

Any helpful suggestions will be much appreciated
