Just set up my first wireless network. PC works fine, as does the ps2 which is connected using a wired connection into the back of the router. Only problem is, the laptop won't connect. It finds the Wireless connection no problem, but won't connect to the internet. It gives itself an Automatic IP Address, whereas the PC has a 192. address. I tried unplugging the ps2 and plugging the wire into the laptop, but it still doesn't work, even with this wired connection. All the settings seem fine, and it's strange that the ps2 works on the same connection. It used to work fine when I moved it from ps2 to laptop, but something's gone wrong with the laptop I think.... Any help? Ta.
