2 Laptops WLAN connection?!

Hi guys,

first of all. I am german, so please don't expect too much of my english!
;-)

Now my problem:

A few days ago, I got a wireless router (speedport w 700v). Now I would like
to connect 2 laptops to it! The first one (Win. XP Prof / Vista HP) works
fine; absolute no problems! But now the second one (Win. XP Home)! This
isn't just working! I can see the network (called it Speedport-W-700-V) with
excellent reception (80 cm distance!), but trying to connect simply doesn't
work. I use the windows-own connection programme, see the green moving bar,
but then after a few seconds it disappears and nothing has happened! Using
the Intel ProSet-Software doesn't make any difference!

Don't know, if anyone speaks german, but I posted this problem already to
another NG, but without a real solution.

Perhaps someone here can help me. I would be very thankful for that!

Ok, have a nice day,

Oliver Bettermann

Hi
Cech the Router and make sure that the DHCP can provide more than one IP.
Otherwiae, there is probably a problem in one of the Wireless setting.
May be this can Help.

I will have a look at all of these links and information in the next few
days. We will see if I can fix the problem with your tips (Hope so!).

I just wondered why my PC (XP Prof.) can connect that easy, and the one of
my friend (Xp Home) not. Very confusing?!

Thanks,
