Hi,
I have been trying to connect my daughter's HP Pavilion DV1000, laptop, to wireless for the past 2 days.

We receive AOL via cable(Yes, I don't know why!)but have managed to connect a netgear WGR614 router to our main pc and the laptop is receiving the wireless signal at excellent strength!

(I need to say at this stage that wireless onto my son's new HP desktop is up and running with no problems at all, almost instantanious, from the same router.)
When trying to access the internet however, via 'internet explorer' on my daughter's laptop, it says that it cannot connect to the server. On my son's it connects straight away!
I have been onto the hp site and followed all the advice given, to no avail.
Anyone with any ideas for me please?

Thanks.
Trish
