I have a wirless router which is connected to a cable modem. i have a pc connected to the router via ethernet, i have a laptop connected to the wireless network via a wirless card. the pc is running on windows xp pro, the laptop on xp home and now im trying to get a windows 98 pc to access the router and use the internet. Installed wireless card on the pc and it finds network etc. cant access the internet though , some kind of ip problem it doesnt assign it an ip address correctly when its left to authomatically obtain one and when i give it an ip, subnet mask and gateway to match my pc and laptop it still doesnt work. i got the ip,subnet and gateway settings from running ipconfig on my other machines. Any ideas?
