Okay - firstly I am not at all Technical - and I'm posting this on behalf of my OH who....
Whilst trying to dial into our wireless router (or however 'you' get there) to link his laptop to my laptop has changed the IP address on his pc using a very unhelpful wizzard!
How can he change it back so that he can dial into our Belkin router and connect up??
Any help gratefully received.

Hi,
he's managed to get to that page - however we aren't sure how we can change it permanently on his pc."A simple life freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be pursuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford." Quaker Faith & Practice 1.02.410 -
use system restore to roll the PC back to before he started playing

Will this wipe all of the data on his laptop?"A simple life freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be pursuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford." Quaker Faith & Practice 1.02.410

no, will roll it back to a date/time point just before the change, nothing gets lost

Okay - he's doing this now!
Thank you very much
Just out of interest - is there a way that his laptop and my laptop can be 'connected' remotely using our wireless router?"A simple life freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be pursuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford." Quaker Faith & Practice 1.02.410 -
I could be converting him to the powers of MSE!!!"A simple life freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be pursuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford." Quaker Faith & Practice 1.02.410

He's now connected up. He says thank you very much!
I say - many many thanks Browntoa, as he's been getting more and more cross over the last hour over this!
