I re-installed XP on both my PC and Laptop yesterday and issued them both with IP address I'd previously used. I gave them IP address' for both wireless and ethernet (the PC and laptop are connected via crossover cable)

They were both working fine until I started synchronising folders on the network. On the PC I was on MSN fine but then the internet went down, I thought I'd reboot my PC to see if that made any difference then I couldn;t get on MSN neither. I searched for the wireless access point and found it easily but there was still no internet.

I put a continious ping to the gateway IP and I never got a response even so everytime I could find the access point fine. This was the same on both pc and laptop.

My 360 on wireless was working fine on Live also!

I went down stairs and used our other laptop that is plugged into ethernet...Works fine!

What the hell is happening, any ideas??

Cheers
