Hey
I'm having problems with our wireless router. When our 2 laptops try to both be connected at the same time, one of the laptops just can't get on - it gets a constant aquiring network address thing. But, if i restart the router, both can get on.
I figure it's something to do with the laptop's IP addresses not being set up. They're both set to aquire them automatically, and i think both try to use the same one until they both try and access at exactly the same time. I tried changing the one on my mum's laptop, and we could both access the router at once. But, i have no idea what to type into any of the fields. I managed to get the IP address and the sub net mask filled in, but from there on i was stuck.
Can anyone tell me what exactly i need to put in the other 2 fields? Or if this is the right way to solve the problems. I'm a n00b at networking.
Thanks
Jon.
