I purchased a new laptop.
Packard Bell Easynote
1.7 Ghz
512 ram
60 gig hdd
dvd +/- rw
XP Home (changed to XP Pro)
Centrino
Intel pro 2200BG wirless built in
I also purchashed a belkin wireless pci card for my desktop
model F5D7000, 54 Mbps, 802.11g / 802.11b.
I have set up the Wireless network and can access anything I have enabled sharing for on each computer from each one. When I try to go online from the laptop it brings up the connection box if the desktop of not already connected to the internet. If the internet is already connected it brings up internet explorer and I can see the connection icon in the task bar. IT tries very hard to display the web pages but fails and throws up the page cannot be displayed error or it says internet explorer cannot open search.
Have enabled and disable internet connection sharing with no luck.
Please confirm or deny my fears. Or any help you guys can offer would be great.
Do I need a router. (wich is what I believe)
Or am I doing something wrong ????
Any help would be great thanks.
