Re: Laptop wont connect to internet

Hi Web Junkie/Ben_b, I'm absolutely stunned/brain dead this morning. I spent most of yesterday re doing all the Linksys connection stuff (my PC is the main connection) and everything is back to the way it was. The connection by ethernet is now working on my daughters laptop, so at least she can now use it and get off of my PC. I had to take the security off of the router to enable me to make this connection. I've still not got wireless connection for the laptop through my laptop. But given the amount of time I have spent on it my daughter is happy to have the ethernet connection.

I did wonder if, because the laptop has a new harddrive, whether I had to revise/renew the connection which would give another reference address? I am probably grasping at straws here, but that is the only thing I haven't tried yet. One of the things I have learned that I have to disable the security first before doing any changes (doh).
