Am at a friends trying to connect her pc to the net wirelessly.
She has a netgear DG834G router which she has succesfully connected her laptop to. She bought a wireless usb adaptor (netgear wg111v3) so she can connect her desktop too (running a cable is not an option)
Despite having spent 3 hours trying to get it connected we still cant. Have tried manually assigning settings and letting windows do its thing and also using the connect software that comes with the adaptor.
If we manually assign an ip then it connects to the router instantly but we get no internet.
if we use the 2 auto configs they both find the router and connect but wont assign a network address.
Its driving us nuts. Im sure its something simple we've missed but if you can help then please do
many thanks in advance

was entering the wep passphrase when it asked for it, when I actually needed to input the whole key. soon as i did it instantly connected and all was fine.
