Hi Folks,

Got a problem with my Netgear WPN824 and my NTL set top box (silver Samsung) - I've got my laptop set up OK wirelessly, but whenever I try to add another computer, the Netgear box doesn't seem to want to hand out a DHCP lease to another PC. The laptop (and the other 2 machines) is/are set up to receive IP/DNS automatically, and the router's running as a DHCP server happy enough to run the laptop fine.

I just can't add any more PCs - I just get the "acquiring network address" notice for a while, then it fails. This happens on several more machines - it's even happened on the laptop when I've connected another machine with the laptop off, so it isn't the client end setups.

Anybody seen this before?

Thanks very much in advance,

Mark
