Frustrated
Have tried about five times to set up a wireless network at home with a Netgear WGR614 v7 router. Installing via the tower the set up runs fine. On one laptop I install a usb adapter. The other one running Vista has it's own connectivity (It initially connected to a neighbour's network and to our own, albeit briefly). The thing is both laptops can recognise the network and say the signal strength is good. My son in law registered it on his palm held. Yet when one tries to connect no connection to the internet is available.
Initially the vista machine did connect but only very briefly. I have tried all sorts of things but to no avail. Even have one laptop in front of the router. Wired connection is no problem.
The only clue I am left with now is the laptops feel they have not got a correct IP address but shouldn't this have come across when I configured the network.
Checking on forums I have done the simple installation procedure ok but I must be missing something and constantly trying to set it up is becoming a depressing waste of time.
I'd be grateful for any ideas!
No doubt it will probably be something very simple
