I've just taken collection of a BT Home Hub 2 (after several trouble free happy years with sky, I moved house and couldn't continue with SkyBB)

So the routers up and running, it was working fine on day 1.

Now though, my laptop can connect no worries.

But when I try to connect with the desktop, it can't acquire the IP address etc from the router.

I've even typed in the IP info manually, when I do this it connects, butn then drops out again after about 15 sec.

I changed all my security to WEP, but the same, connects and then drops out after about 15-30secs.

Yet my lap top is ok??

Both running XP.

Anybody else have this problem??
Set your network adpator on the pc back to obtain an IP address automaticlly.
