Hi,

After 5 days of trying, I'll now try here......

I still can't get an internet connection on my laptop
(client) which is connected to a wireless network with my
desktop PC (the Host). Both machines are on XP with SP1
installed.

Each machine can ping each other and the signal is
good......I can even browse thru 'My network places' and
see each others files......

The host machine can ping yahoo.com (for instance) but
the laptop (client) cannot !!

I've been thru a million settings checking and double
checking with e mails to manufacturers, forums, my local
PC helpline but to no avail.

This my last hope ;--((

Steve
