I am rather clueless about his side of computers as usually my friend sets it up. Anyhow my problem is that my wireless internet connection has just suddenly stopped working.
My understanding of how it is set up is as follows.
Main PC has direct connection from cable network, (works ok)
2nd PC has wireless connection (works ok)
Laptop has wireless connection (not connecting)
I have looked at network connections on the laptop but it means nothing to me.
`Local area connection` network cable unplugged
`wireless network connection` limited or no connectivity.

Can anyone help this novice.
thanks

Paws,

It now seems to be working again. I switched everything off disconnected the modem, router.

Re connected everything switched it all on and it has started to work again.

Hopefully it is now sorted.

thanks for taking the time on this.

regards
