Merry Christmas one and all! :rudo:
Ahem. Anyway, got cable Virgin installed on Thurs, all good, set up my free Netgear router today. All going fine, home laptop doesn't have currently-working WiFi-ness so is connected via router, which is working fine. My WiFi PDA and my work laptop can both see the WiFi network, and I can in fact connect to my work's VPN via my new WiFi with no problems, but neither my PDA nor my work laptop can access the normal internet. I've double-checked the proxy settings (off) and the password I set up and they're all right, both say they are connected to my WiFi network, they just can't open any websites. Anyone got any suggestions? I have successfully connected both devices to other WiFi networks before.
