Hi,

I've recently setup my dads wireless network for him, it consist of an access point and 2 wireless usb adapters. The network works and I can do file and printer sharing, I can even see the broadband connection from the client pc.

In cmd prompt I can ping (@ 500 packets no loss) IP's on the web i.e. google 66.102.9.99 but if i try and ping www.google.com it doesnt work? Also if i load explorer and type in the ip it works, but web addresses just come up with this page cannot be displayed.

I'm on about 12 hours of trying to get this to work so any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Rich.

N.B. I have checked all the ip's on each computer and the router and they are correct I've also got wep on and have tried with it off and have tried turning off the firewall on both comps and the same thing keeps happening...
