Here is the problem:
I have a cable internet, router, and two PCs happily connecting with
the network and internet.
Enter my wife. She just moved in with me from another town, brought
her laptop with XP Pro with her. We connected the laptop to our
router. Opened up a browser, but no connection.
Control Panel > Network Connections, we see Local Area Connection with
the NIC for the laptop listed under Device Name. What is totally
puzzling to me is that under Status it says Connected! If you click
the LAN, under Activity group, it says Packets sent = 104 (or some
other number), Packets received = 0. Status = connected.
The laptop was previously used to connect to another router using
Verizon DSL.
I have deleted anything that has Verizon DSL, turned off any firewall,
ran Network setup wizard several times, restarted many times, to no
avail.
The ethernet cable used is just fine, tested it with the PC with no
problem.
So what's the problem here?
Thanks for any hints/solutions!
