Hi,
on the XP Box righ click on the wireless icon on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (looks like a little screen with ))) coming out of it. Select view available networks and
1) does it show your network
2) Does it show as Connected to yours
2a) IF not select on connect see what happens
or 2b) if it does and you cannot ping 192.168.1.1 from a command box then go to the other PC and login to your router using IE/Firefox
http://192.168.1.1 and see if in the wireless settings (sorry don't know your routers methods will google in a mo) both PCs are shown as connected Wireless Clients.

cheers

Also could you go to the XP box start run cmd then enter ipconfig /all
and post the wireless section here

hyi buddy the problem i have is the Vista one is the one that shuts off when the XP computer is using the internet they are both connected to the wireless modem

blinko

but oddly enough my mobile can connect whileXP is using the internet,

but for whatever reason the XP will over ride the net use over vista

This is why I need the XP box connected at the same time as vista and get its ipconfig /all settings . I cannot guess what they are.
