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

Hope no-one minds if I jump in on this discussion but I'd like to ask a question or 2 if you don't mind.

Are you able to connect to the internet on both PCs with your original configuration as described in your initial post?

If so, are you trying to get both PCs to see each other on your Local Area Network/Domain?

Is your goal to be able to use file and folder sharing?

In my home network, 192.168.0.1 is the router's IP address. The subnet mask jibes (to me). Maybe I'm suffering from tunnel vision. I've spent weeks trying to figure out why, on my 3 computer LAN, I could only see 1 of them from the other 2 PCs. The PC that was visible on the LAN could not see the other 2 and the other 2 could not see each other. If this is the problem being described by venusgirl then I would have something further to add because I finally found the solution in the MS knowledge base. If this is not the problem, my apologies for butting in.
