On my laptop (brandnew XP home) I get a 192.x.x.x IP address and I can't get web access, although I can see the router through a browser.

If I switch off the desktop machine, reset router and cable modem it will, given time, work OK. So proves not a fundamental settings/corruption problem I think. This way I can get either machine on the net but never both at the same time, nightmare.

Any suggestions . getting desparate.

Simon.
As andy said is DCHP enabled on the router.
on the Desktop that cannot see the router, do you have a specific proxy specified, you need to put the router IP in the exceptions box or turn off the specific proxy setting (in IE Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings)
