I have a broadband router (wireless and 4 ports) - I have 3 PCs (Win 98 and NT), and they all connect to each other, the router and internet fine. I've added a wireless notebook running XP Home, and it can see all the other PCs and share files, but cannot access the internet. It can ping the router (and the other PCs), but nothing beyond. I have disabled the XP firewall, and unchecked the LAN settings box. I have assigned IP adresses from my router to all PCs. Can anyone please help - otherwise I'll have to wipe XP and put Win 98 on.

Hi Keith, go into the Control Panel, open Network Connections, if there's a Network Bridge to be seen, delete it, and restart your computer, then go to your laptop, go to the properties on you network adapter, in a list, you'll have to locate it, there will one that has the name, Channel in it. There are 11 channels to choose from, you have set the Channel of your adapter to the channel of your Access Point, and also give it the SSID, the wireless network name. Bob

Bob Thanks - I think you misunderstood my problem. I can already connect to my wireless router using my wireless laptop (which is running XP). It can see all other PCs on mu network, but CANNOT get to the internet. All my other PCs (running 98) can see all other PCs also and CAN see the internet. Therefore this is an XP issue, not router based, and not a wireless problem - I already have another wireless laptop with 98 that connects to the network and can see the other PCs and the internet. Thanks
