    have got several 'request timed out' messages, and finally ping statistics for 64.233.183.104:
    packets: sent = 4, received = 0 lost = 4 (100% loss)
    for 192.168.1.1
    packets: sent = 4 received = 0 lost = 4 (100% loss)

    so ping 192.168.1.1 = 100% loss?

    ipconfig /all > c:\1.txt
    notepad c:\1.txt

    what does it say under the wireless section

    should be something like

    Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : yes
    IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.103
    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
    NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    ok, this looks wrong

    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.8.100

    it should be your routers ip address, 192.168.1.1

    have a look in control panel, networks, wireless, see if you can find it under tcpip settings


    before you do that, do the ipconfig /all on your working pc, and make sure the gateway and dns server is pointing to 192.168.1.1

    control panel, networks, wireless, properties, tcpip, properties, advanced, dns

    did you check the ipconfig on the working pc points to 192.168.1.1 for gateway and dns
