  • Got there finally.

    You're wireless connection in PC1 is currently disabled - leave it that way if you are happy to leave PC1 connected by ethernet cable to the router.

    How do you want to connect PC2 to the router? Ethernet cable or wireless?

    I would prefer to do it wireless.

    I have just followed albertross's instructions in post 121, but PC-2 is still not 'connecting'.

  • When you run the Wireless Network Connection Wizard on PC2 does it see the router?

    Can you please post an ipconfig txt file for PC2.

    It must 'see' the router as in the 'connections' it says NETGEAR

    How can I paste the inconfig when I have no internet connection on PC-2?

  • Copy the text file to a floppy or a USB stick if you have one and transfer it to PC1, then post it from there.
