Guys,
A little advice if you could.
I setup a wireless router last night in the following config :
Router : Netgear DG834G wired to a DELL PC
NIC : WG511 54Mbs wireless network card on a Toshiba Laptop.
Both PC's are running Windows XP Home edition (not sure about the Service Pack on the laptop. Dell has SP2.
Last night I left the house and the connection was fine. The laptop could roam about the house on its stumpy little legs and surf the web to its hearts content.
Today however, we cannot get a permanent connection.
I reinstalled the wireless card and it started working. Switched the machine off and back on - no access to the internet. However, I could see the laptop pc from the desktop pc in Network Neighbourhood.
Any ides - I reckon it is something straightforward but just cant see it.
