I had it all setup before, but when my sister came home, we changed the wiring, and now its all messed up.
Its a linksys befw11s4
The home computer (XP) is connected to the internet, and my thinkpad (windows98) isnt. It has a connection to the network, but wont connect to the internet.
the thinkpad's ip adress thing is the default 192.168.1.1, but my home computer is like 65.32.xx.xxx. I can get it to be the same 192.168.1.1, but then it wont connect to the internet either.
all my settings are obtain ip adress automatically, so id ont know.
this question may be to easy for people to answer, but its driving me crazy and ive spent hours trying to figure it out. any help would be greatly appreciated.
