Desperate need of help!!!!!! Please!!

by BillJ59 Mar 18, 2006 9:07PM PST

Hi, i have a host computer(connected to the router) and a network computer(connecting to the wireless router) I have broadband, The network computer's internet connects and is running fine. But now the host computer doesnt connect to the internet.

I use AOL and they say it has nothing to do with them(the connection problems)

Can anybody help me to get the host computer back up and connecting to the internet, whilst this network computer can still use it.

Thanks,
Chris

Which Router assigning the IP address to each PC??

Did you update your Firmware for your routers?

Have a Wireless Router connected by a network cable to the PC with the Network Computer connected wirelessly. When Trying to access the Internet from the Host Computer always get "DNS Server unreachable or unavailable" message. Have tried looking at ipconfig /all on the DOS Prompt which doesn't give me a DNS Server address.

Wireless PC connects fine
