Hi Guys,

Well today I went out and bought a shiny new wireless laptop, and a netgear router.

I use telewest broadband, it usually connects from the back of the modem to a usb socket. My pc has an ethernet thingy at the back too tho.

So I connected the cable modem to the router using a rj45 cable, and the laptop wireless connection works.
I connected the desktop pc via ethernet from the router with another ethernet cable, and it says connected but the internet doesn't work?

Sorry I'm not very good at explaining these things, can anyone offer a solution?
