need some help

[gw_gamer_luke]

i've had this problem for a while now and i cant carry on like this.

me and my sister both have the same laptop ( emachines e520 ) running windows vista home basic 32bit edtition and both have the same network adapter built in.

the main computer is on all the time and im normally on my laptop all the time and the internet is fine no problems, BUT when my sister goes on her laptop the internet will cut of at random and come back on a few seconds sometimes mins after and the internet light will go amber (orange) then return to green once internet has come back on.

everyone loses internet connection wired or wirless.

i have a standard wirless router that sky gave us when we signed up.

hope you guys/girls can help me fix this problem

Thanks, luke

oh both laptops have a static ip address

hi there, have you tryed restoring the sky router back to factory settings ? if not i would reccommend trying that, if you dont know how two, find what your default gateway is and type that into IE and a page will come up, set it to factory, and re-set the router up,

Finding default gateway:

Start> run > cmd

type " Ipconfig /all "

look for your adaptor, and note the default gateway,

Hope this helps
