Yes, it was a typo. I have tried setting the IP address for the desktop manually, but it could not access the internet. It can access the router's setup screen (192.168.0.1), but cannot find the internet. The computer runs Zone Alarm, but I turn it completely off and still no internet.
On other computers and networks I have worked on, manually configuring the IP address made a near immediate change and I did not need to reboot. I will try rebooting anyway after manually configuring. One question about the DNS server field in the manual configuration. I am not sure what to put there, so it remains blank. Could this be the problem? Thank you.

It can very easily be a mixture. BTW the IP address for the desktop can not be 192.168.0.1 (hope that was a typo in one of your posts) because that is the IP address of the router (assuming the router is at the default). Make it 192.168.0.10 (if the laptop does not already have that IP address). Look at the various IP addresses the notebook is obtaining via dhcp and, except for the machine IP address, use the same for the desktop static IP setup. -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unofficial Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://winhome.wavijo.com/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
