Double check that the laptop that cannot connect to the Internet at your house is configured to obtain an IP address automatically. Also that it is getting an IP address from your wireless router and not some other one. Either of these would explain why it has a different IP address than the one that works.

laptop no lan connection
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
