    Wireless problems...

    I've got a desktop with a wireless card, it works perfectly on my wireless network and always has. I've also got two laptops, both with a fresh install of XP Black on them, and both seeming to work fine apart from the internet.

    The problem is, when I fire up the browser of either laptop (firefox) I get a "server not found" message, even though I have an excellent connection to my wireless network. If I go into my network connection and disable, the re-enable my wireless connection, it works fine (on both laptops)!

    Although I can use the internet on both laptops, having to disable and re-enable the connection everytime I start the thing is annoying!

    Any ideas?!

    might be worth looking at the firewall on your router. you will need to allow them to access the net.

    If it aint broke, don't fix it!
    If its broke, fix it and use it again!
    If it proper broke, use it for something else!

      Sorted. It was my ESET Firewall buggering me about... a few changes to the way it works and it's working fine!

      Cheers!
