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
First of all - welcome to the site Everyone here is very helpfull - I am sure that we can sort out your problem...

O.K. One ot two questions for you.

1. Are the clients (pc's) using dhcp or have you set them up manualy ? If you are not using dhcp you may have missed the default gateway entry or the dns entry's

2. Are you using a set top box to access the net ? If you are you need to insure 2 things - 1. you are using a cross over cable between the set top box and the router. 2. You have set the router to clone the mac address of the network card you had it plugged into or register the new macx address online.

I hope this is of help - If there is any more info you can give us it would be helpfull. You could run ipconfig /all from a dos prompt on all the machines and post the results - This would help.

Cheers
