I know that the Network is up because i can see and exchange files from my Desktop (DT) to the Laptop (LT). I just cant access the internet from teh LT.

Thoughts?

    I'll assume the desktop can get to the internet. If so make sure that the laptop is using the same gateway and dns settings that the dt is using. If they are both going through a router and you aren't doing any mac filtering on the router then you should be fine.

    assumption correct....

    But bother are on auto as far as Gateways and DNS....going to reset router and and see if that works....maybe just a fluke or something...

    Mac filtering?

    Alright...no reason to reset....forgot about my PDA....it is surfing fine on wifi...so it is definitely the LT....so Kryyst...YAD if your out there....know u got some experience here...anyone else ....

    Let work through this....

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I started thinking...and wanted to get into the router software....well...i cant rember the dang PW...doesnt make sense...but that is another topic...

    Anyway...I was going to have to hard reset (paper clip thing) the router and loose all my settings....so before I did all that...I thought I would cycle the router...

    BAM....LT works after a soft reset (just unplug)....

    Thx for the attempt Kryyst...

    Yeah - power cycle should always be the first thing you do for any type of hardware.
