My desktop PC is connected via a Wanadoo hub to the Internet and I use it as
my main PC. I aslo have a laptop connected via a wireless connection to the
same hub
Recently I have been getting intremittent connections to the Internet on my
desktop and one day when I urgently wanted to use the Internet I opened my
laptop and surprise surprise I could connect all right. I then checked my
desktop and still could not connect although I was still connected on my
laptop
How can this happen and what is the problem with my desktop??

Let's have a look at your IP settings. Do this on each machine:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type the following commands:
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt
ipconfig /all >> c:\test.txt
- Notepad c:\test.txt
- Copy and paste what you see into your reply.

Foe some reason I failed to get your instruction to run so I am listing the
important figures below
Desktop Laptop
IP Address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.132
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1

I decided to switch off my hub and switch on again and the connection was
made
It still baffles me why one PC can connect but not the other?

Your dektop uses the same IP address as your gateway. You must change it to
something else, e.g. 192.168.1.11.

Perhaps you tell us where my instructions failed to work so that we can get
the full picture.

I got the message "echo%desktop% is not recognised as an internal or
external command"
Should there be a stop between txt and ipconfig? or do these lines run
separately?

I will write out the instructions for you once more. When I write {OK} then
you're meant to klick the OK button. When I write {Space} then you're meant
to press the Space Bar. When I write {Enter} then you're meant to press the
Enter key. And when I write %ComputerName% then you're meant to write
%ComputerName%, not %desktop%.

- Click the big Start button.
- Click the Run item.
- Type the letters cmd{OK}
- Type the following commands:
echo{Space}%ComputerName%{Space}> c:\test.txt{Enter}
ipconfig{Space}/all{Space}>> c:\test.txt{Enter}
- Notepad{space}c:\test.txt{Enter}
- Copy and paste what you see into your reply.

Type each command below ( 3 total) and press Enter after each. **Note:

Not type the ^.

echo ^ %ComputerName% ^ > ^ c:\test.txt
