More wireless probs?

gt568

I'm trying to connect my dads computer to my wireless at home but keep having problems...

Basically his Vista machine is picking up the network and connecting, he has the correct security code ect, but it only says he has limited connectivity and local access only, and he can't get online...yet I'm sat here on the same network jabbing away...

Any advice

Have you told the router that his machine can use it?
You may net to the MAC address of the laptop depending on the router to allow full access.

is vista managing the wireless connection or the wirless card/adapters makers software?

try swapping between the two

Never have blocked access to the router before, other than the Security code...

Temporarily switch off wireless encryption to rule that out.

Try disabling IPV6. If that doesn't fix the problem, post back with the result of ipconfig /all.

Tried several already..I don't understand how my lappy next to him works, but hs doesn't...could it be in his settings?
