OK. Right now im on a PC. This PC is connected to the internet directly. We have a modem that has a wireless connection. Im trying to connect my sisters laptop to this wireless connection. I set up a wireless name and the WEP encryption code and everything. Ive went onto her computer and set up this connection, as i beleieve. Under Netweork Connections i enabled the Avaibale wireless conecctions, and it says connected. Under Interne Options i erased all the connection settings under the dial up section, and checked the box that says never dial a connection. IN the taskbar i see the two computers saying it is connected. I click on the computers in the taskbar, and than Properties, and it says its connected also. Than i try and get on Internet Exploerer but it wont work. It says it cant find a connnection. What am i doing wrong?
 
go to your connection proerty and make sure it is setup to optain an ip atomaicly

if it is then go to my network open network connections and slect you network adater that you will be using for internet and open it up and slect the support tab and click the repair tab.
 
OK. I can try that. All i know right now is that when i use ipconfig on the laptopp i get a IP address like 169.254.195.20 and i nkow this is not a vaild Ip address. And i also know that when i do ipconfig on my Pc it is totally differatn. And im pretty sure to ahve a vaild network you need to ahve similar IP address on the computers.

ok where do i find the connection property? Is it under INter Options under the Connections Tab or what?
 
if it is then go to my network open network connections and select you network adater that you will be using for internet and open it up and in the genral tab go to properties then in that genreal tab go down to internet protocal (tcp/ip) then click x2 it will bring up the screen you want. make sure it is set up to obtain an ip adress automatically. Are u using dsl or dial up?
 
Im using DSL. OK put where are you when you are doign all of this. Are you in Control Panel. Just tel me where to go to ge to all of these things. Im trying to talk to my ISP also.
