Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800 laptop with a built in network card - Win XP Home
My router is a Microsoft MN-700 - everything is currently using ethernet cables
Our internet connection is DSL
Our IBM desktop has XP Pro and connects to the router with no problem. Our daughter's Sony desktop XP Home connects to the router with no problem.
The laptop has a problem. It cannot find the base station, so I cannot connect to the internet.
I have uninstalled the network card and reinstalled it. I have tried creating a network connection without using the MS utility. I have tried setting up the connection with using the utility station. MAC is not checked in the broadband file. I have had the enable check box under authentication turned on and turned off. The firewall is turned off. I am using a CAT 5E cable. If I use the network settings that I save from the desktop then it causes the LAN connection to disconnect even though it is still plugged in.
I have just done a factory reinstall on the laptop. The lights are working on both the router and on the laptop to show a connection. I have changed router ports.
I have searched the router's site for help and I am stuck.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
