The laptop is an Acer Travelmate 5310 and the router is a Mega 105WR. Although it will connect to the internet via cable, it will not do so on the wireless connection although there used to be no problem. I have checked with the ISP support desk and we established that the wireless connection is fine - it just cannot connect to the internet. We gave it a static IP and DNS address as above because when we asked it to do the automatic option it could not acquire an IP address. After a week of phone calls to the help desk I gave up and went out and bought a 12 metre cable which is most inconvenient as it snakes through the length of the house! If you have any ideas on how to connect to the internet wirelessly I would be most grateful. The router is in my office and the one I want to connect via wireless is in the living room (it is my husband's laptop and he's driving me crazy telling me to fix it). Many thanks.
