Guest Xm@n Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have desktop computer with WIN XP Home conected wirelessly to Siemens 555 wireless router for ADSL connection. As protection I had WEP/WAP (or similar) pasword protection and MAC filter turned on. Everything was fine. Both computers connect wirelessly to Internet separatly and at the same time if needed. Then I recently baught a laptop (T61 with WIN XP Professional) and try to connect it wirelessly to Siemens 555 for Internet. Could not do it until turned off WEP/WAP protection so now there is only MAC filter turned on as protection. The problem is that few days ago I completly lost Internet on desktop PC. Firefox, IE, Outlook express and other programs ... nothing can access Internet. The laptop T61 works normaly (internet connection) but desktop PC can not connect. However it conects to Siemens router easily and it show Connected and green D (for D-link wireless). I can also connect to Siemens router from desktop and work on its settings. As there is a workin connection through laptop I can not blame Internet company or Siemens router. The problem is that I am not Matser of networking or simmilar and do not know where to start and what to check. I also do not know exact time when this happen as I acces Internet upon need and I can only remember that there was some regular win updates. I also had tried to connect desktop PC and laptop T61 wirelessly but could not succed. Now I am in danger to start changing some settings I don't even know what are used for and this can make everything even worse. Tried to make System restore but could not do it (it was not possible message say). Any idea what to check hot to approach and what to look for? Thank you in advance for any idea.
