i have not touched any settings though?.. its so odd. as u can tell i wouldnt have the first idea how to change settings.. etc..hhmmm

when i do that on my laptop it same numbers for ip but .65 not .64 at th end.

Could always try running the network setup wizard to try to remedy the settings problem - start / programs / accessories / communications / network setup wizard

That's normal - means they've been assigned consecutive IP addresses

I didnt listen at school in the 70's at computers- thought they wouldnever catch on !!!

To be fair, saying, "Consecutive IP addresses" to most people produces a blank stare

they both take ages on start up too..

mefinks theres loads of sh 1 runnin in the background.

Righto OK so you are getting an IP addres so that means your desktop is talking to the wireless router OK.

on that same screen should be another one of those daft numbers. next to it it will say "Default Gateway" type in this

ping x.x.x.x ( substitute x.x.x.x for the number next to default gateway ) and then hit return.

let me know what that does this should confirm whether your desktop is talking to the router OK.

ok fizz itsays


ping xxxx is not recognised as an internal or external command operable programe or batch file

oh 4 get that i made an error. i didnt leave a gap before first numbers after the ping bit- me so rubbish me well bad and I know it thouugghh

oo there is lots.. 32 bytes of data 4 reports and a time for the round trip?

make sense?
