Can you check a setting for me? On the working laptop, can you go to http://www.routerlogin.net/basicsetting.htm (try http://www.routerlogin.com/basicsetting.htm if that doesn't work).

Now look to the menu on the left. Under the heading "Advanced", look for "LAN IP Setting". Click this.

Make sure the option called "Use Router as DHCP server" is ticked.

Now, on both laptops, Go to Xp's control panel, click "Network Connections". Right click on the Wireless connection (it may be called "Wireless connection" or "Wireless network"). Select "Properties".

Click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click "Properties".

On the following windows, make sure that both "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are selected.

Click OK on all the dialogs.
