Thanks alot for all your replies so quick.

I have the automatic configuration - DHCP enabled as the internet configuration, and 'obtain IP address automatically' on both the host and laptop computers.

I haven't forwarded any ports or reassigned DNS as of right now.

XP firewall disabled on both computers.
I have however enabled the router firewall - to block anonymous internet requests, filter multicasts and filter ident port 113 which was Default settings.

Security settings I have set on the router is 128 encryption, which means I have to key in the pass on the laptop with settings: 'open' connection type, 'WEP' enabled I have also unselected the tick box 'key is provided automatically' in the wireless connection settings.

I am aware that points 1-3 are correct, however unsure on these points
4) The router should be configured as a DHCP server, to provide addresses to the desktop and laptop.
I have selected automatic DHCP confiuration in router settings

5) The desktop and laptop should both be configured to obtain addresses automatically, i.e. via DHCP from the router.
I have selected 'obtain IP address automatically' and 'obtain DNS automatically' on both the host and laptop connection properties.

I have the cable modem connected to the 'internet' port of the router and the desktop in port 4. The desktop is only PC connected to the router.
