Hi All,
First of all, I have very limited knowledge of broadband - unlike 101% of all you guys.
The problem is-
I recently decided to get broadband. I have a desktop and a laptop. The laptop is a Dell inspiron and it is 9 months old and it has built in wifi. I set up the ZyXEL router on the desktop okay and it works perfectly. Obviously, as I am leaving this thread.
I tried to set up to the broadband on the laptop but with no success. I can receive a perfect signal to the laptop from the router okay when I open the ZyXel utility. However, when I open my internet explorer I cannot get a connection to the internet i.e. I cannot surf. I have fooled around so much with the connection settings that I am sure I have done more harm than good. Or is there another issue that I am missing?
I have spent 3 days now trying to sort this problem out; the technical support team from BT Ireland do not answer the phone and my girlfriend is about to jump ship if I don't put the laptop out of hands.
If anybody can help I will be forever indebted to you!
Kind regards,
Mike
