Problems connecting to Wireless Broadband.

    My provider of Wireless Broadband is Omnitel.

    PC 1 Dell Dimension 4600
    Windows XP Professional. Once upon a time had Norton Internet Security on it. Since replaced with AVG Free Edition. This will connect using the settings from provider.

    PC 2 Dell Dimension E520
    Windows XP Professional. Will not connect very often. In the off chance it may have had something to do with the Dell Installation of McAfee Security Centre, I have uninstalled that today, and installed avast free.

    At the Command prompt, have tried various pings
    100% return on both PC's when pinging my antenna
    100% return on both PC's when pinging the Default gateway

    But when I try pinging www.google.ie on PC 2. it won't recognise the name. However on PC 1, I get a reply from 216.239.59.147

    Any suggestions for what I can do to fix PC 2

    Both PC's were connected directly to the POE for testing to prevent any router issues cropping up.

    EDIT 19:29
    Now PC 2 is working. But no guarantee that it will stay working. So it is some problem with PC 2 that happens randomly

    EDIT 10:32 15/01
    This morning PC 2 won't work again and PC 1 working okay
