wireless on NTL

[simmo1000]

Hi

trying to install a Dlink Router into my mates house
all installed ok, can access through the wired link but the Wireless connection gives a limited connectivity and no connection to the Net.

I have checked security (completly removed)
a couple of different laptops, one works here at my house so its definitly not the laptop.
I think its a wireless setting on the router but cant pinpoint what, any ideas?

this works fine

Is the DHCP server running on the router ?
Is the laptop configured with a static IP address ?

laptop hasnt got a static ip address
I was thinking of the DHCp when I wason my way home.
If it wasnt running I presume I could probably get one internet connection and the others would time out?

Not sure, If the DHCP server was switched off at the router I dont think it would be possible for the machine connected via ethernet to browse the internet either

something to check perhaps ?

I would check the IP configuration

(Open Command Prompt and type ipconfig/all)

This will tell you what IP addresses have been allocated, and the DHCP server being used, etc.

I would also check that the TCP/IP settings for the wireless adapter are set to obtain IP address automatically.
