ok i have NTL on the downstairs pc. this machine has a netgear wireless card.

pc upstairs also has a netgear wireless card and i used to be able to surf the net on this via downstairs connection through the wireless network. had to reinstall machine and im having problems

i can connect them to each other and ping one another from each pc, but cant surf the web from the upstairs pc. ive tried everything i know - enabling and diasabling wep encryption, sharing the ntl connection (which ive always left as allow to be shared) i just dont know what im doing wrong as there are only a few options in the wireless settings.

ive assigned the downstairs pc wireless card an ip of 192.168.1.101 and upstairs 192.168.1.102 with default gateway as 192.168.1.101

this used to work fine 100% before re-install. the ips are fine cos i can ping one another but cant get the internet to work upstairs!!

help!!

p.s no firewalls etc... activated.
