Out of 3 computers I have running, only 1 connects to the net ok. My main pc. Plugged in to the switch and router and got on net without any troubles. My laptop doesnt connect to the net when cabled in, but does on wireless (?!), my server is connected to the network fine by cable too but doesnt see the net at all.

And yes I tried network setup wizards.

The server is a fresh xp install. The main pc is also cabled in, but on vista. Laptop is xp.

Output from ipconfig /all would be a start.

No DNS servers. Did you set the IP address and subnet mask manually?
Can the two machines that don't see the internet ping 212.58.224.116 (www.bbc.co.uk)?

Nope, unreachable. I am atm just trying the server cause the laptop works fine on wireless. I set up the lan ip manually. maybe that skrewed it.

Aha, missed the blank default gateway too

You need to set that too, though the router should by default dish out all those settings automagically.

All sorted, thanks bud. I knew it was something simple. I re-enabled the auto-configure, then checked the dns, gateway, etc then changed it back to set ip and added rest of details. it works on net fine now!
