Hi, here is my problem, I have Windows xp on both pc and laptop, netgear router, wireless usb adaptor for pc and wireless card for pc. I have been trying for ages to get LAN to work on laptop. I have installed software on pc for router and its working fine, icon bottom right showing up. Also Netgear wireless usb adaptor and software icon showing up on pc green looks fine.
On laptop wireless lan is on, lan network cable unplugged. I have been into ipconfig on both and here are results:
Laptop:
ip address 192.168.0.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
ip address fe80::218:deff:fe8c:ef9d%4
then stuff about tunnel adapter
connection specific dns suffix
ip address fe80::ffff:ffff:fffd%6
then tunnel adapter automatic tunneling pseudo-interface:
Connection specific dns suffix
Ip address fe80::5efe:192.168.0.1%2

Pc
ip address 192.168.1.3
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1
ethernet adapter wireless network connection 2
ip address
192.168.1.4
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1

Ok now i can see that they are not the same, I have no idea what to do to put this right. My daughter used the laptop at a friends house and connected instantly to internet, using belkin router, so I am puzzled not sure were I have gone wrong but i would appreciate some help. Thanks venusgirl

There's obviously something mis-configured in the network settings on the laptop. The IP address assigned is not one that your router can give out. It's not the same subnet.

I don't know how to instruct you to check everything, but most of the responses I've read here don't apply since you're not getting a valid IP.
The computer that can get on the network has a default gateway of 192.168.1.1. The computer that can't get on the network has an unknown default gateway because you didn't provide that information. It does, however, have an IP address of 192.168.0.1 which is outside the range of what the router is giving out.
