I have a small "workgroup" home network using tcp/ip where ip addresses are
assigned by a linksys router. The cable modem and router are hooked up to a
desktop pc running winXP. I also have a wireless router (with dhcp disabled)
attached like a hub to the regular router. I use this wireless connection
occasionally when I'm on my laptop. Everything works fine except for my
wife's laptop. Her laptop has winXP and built in wifi. This laptop has been
used on other wireless networks in the past fine. On my home network it
appears to be connected as it shows excellent signal strength but I can't
access other computers on the network nor can I get on the internet. When I
run the utility ipconfig/all the IP address is not one assigned behind
the router but appears to be the actual IP address. Also there is no gateway
address. Please help.
