in Techie Stuff
I'm sat downstairs and am surfing the net wirelessly.
Daughter is sat in another room and unable to get any websites up, they are all unabailable
But she is connected to the same wireless router as me, as has a better signal strength as well. We have rebooted, pop her card out, re-connected to the router.
I have now run out of ideas.
Anyone got any
She's off to bed, so no rush:D

stupidly, right click on the wirless connection icon in the task bar and click the support tab and then the reapair button. this somtimes helps
also what is the ip address in the support tab of that window?0 -
the repair disables and re-enables teh connection between your daughters laptop and the router and clears caches etc., the fact that you are browsing fine suggests the problem lies with her connection
has she changed firewall software or settings recently, if you can't connect to the router then at least youcan disable firewalls (potentially isolate your router from net connection first) then work through each step until you find a blockage0
