Loosing Internet Gateway on wireless network

    I have a problem on my home wireless setup that has me baffled.

    Basically I have two Dell computers (desktop and lappy) connected via wireless working on XP. The desktop is an Internet Gateway for my laptop to the broadband connection.

    The network itself seems ok for file transfer etc, but the lappy keeps loosing the gateway when rebooted/switched off. I then go through the XP n/w setup again and the gateway works again until the next reboot.


    Any ideas?

    Have you tried manually configuring the tcp/ip settings?

    assign an ip / subnet and gateway tru tcp/ip properties

    hmmm

    Ok, reset tcp/ip on the lappy:
    *Click* Start - run - netsh int ip reset reset.txt - ok

    If that doesn't work, search for and delete winsock.dll and reboot. Should be located in c:\windows\system32 (winsock is responsible for networking components on XP, could be currupt, when you reboot windows will replace the file)
