BT Voyager 200 Router problems

I have a BT voyager 200 Router and i'm having problems wth it.

i have a a desktop computer with Windows XP,
IP - 192.168.0.1 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1

and a laptop with windows 98se
IP - 192.168.0.2 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1

The XP computer works fine on the internet, but the laptop will not. Anyone
got any ideas?

Thanks.

Those are slightly /odd/ looking settings.

I'd expect to see the computer IP's allocated from the same network
as the gateway; in this case, I'd expect the computer IPs to start
192.168.1.X.

What's the IP address of the router?

How are the addresses being allocated? Statically, or automatically
(i.e. by DHCP from the router)?

Hmmm ... not quite the info I was after ...

Second Attempt:

1) on the XP machine, from a command prompt, run "ipconfig /all"
(without the quotes), and post the output from that.

2) on the windows 98 machine, go to the start menu>RUN. Type in
winipcfg, then click ok.
Post the information that winipcfg displays.

3) Check that both machines are set to get IP addresses and DNS server
addresses automatically.

think many people at Sun had parents who used Sun computers, and it's
questionable whether some of the MS designers speak to their parents...

This is the bit that I was hoping to see - see how the Default
Gateway, DHCP Server, and DNS server are all pointing to the same IP
address. In this case 192.168.1.1 is your router, DHCP server, and,
as you posted earlier, DNS proxy / relay.

Notice how the computers IP address also starts with 192.168.1 ...
taken with the subnet mask it means that both the router and the
computer are on the same logical network, and hence they can "see"
each other.

The windows 98 laptop wouldn't happen to be connected to this adapter,
would it?

Heh ... you've got two adapters in this machine as well?

if so, pull down the list box at the top of the winipcfg window, and
post the details for the second ethernet adapter.

There is not any other Adapters on the laptop.. just the PCMIA one.

Ok, this one doesn't seem to be picking up an address.

Hopefully, this is the last round of questions.

How is the laptop networked: :-
1) Is it connected to the XP computer, using a crossover ethernet
cable?

If the laptop is connected to the XP computer, have you enabled
Internet Connection Sharing on the XP Computer, or created a network
bridge between the two adapters?

OR
2) Is it connected to the voyager router?

If so, how?
