Can any computers access the internet? Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, so we can diagnose your problem. Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify operating system (by SP level) with each ipconfig listing. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Please start by un installing IPV6, aka Advanced Networking, from the list of items under Local Area Connection Properties. You only need the following items in the list: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Then, make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is enabled on each computer. Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS - Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. If you need IPV6, you can install it later.

Any more ideas, Thanks again tony Tony, This sounds like a browser conflict. I"m not talking about Internet Explorer here. The browser is the program that allows any computer to see any other computer on the LAN. On a 3 computer LAN, only 2 computers should run the browser service. Make sure the browser service is running on the downstairs and upstairs computers. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. Disable the browser service (just the browser service) on the wireless laptop. After checking / disabling / enabling as above, power all computers off to reset the browser settings on each. After all computers are off, power all back on. The Microsoft Browstat program will show us what browsers (I'm not talking about Internet Explorer here) you have in your domain / workgroup, at any time. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305 You can download Browstat from either: http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browstat.zip http://rescomp.stanford.edu/staff/manual/rcc/tools/browstat.zip Browstat is very small (40K), and needs no install. Just unzip the downloaded file, copy browstat.exe to any folder in the Path, and run it from a command window, by "browstat status". Make sure all computers list the same master browser. For more information about the browser subsystem (very intricate), see: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188001 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188305 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=231312 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winntas/deploy/prodspecs/ntbrowse.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/win95/w95brows.mspx -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Tony Tony, OK, with a situation like this you need patience and persistence. 1) Copy Browstat.exe to C:\. 2) Open a Command window: Start - Run - type "cmd" (less the ""), hit Enter. 3) In the Command window, type: "cd \" (again less the ""), hit Enter. 4) In the Command window, type: "browstat status browstat.txt" (again less the ""), hit Enter. 5) Start Notepad (Programs - Accessories). 6) Check Format - Word Wrap, if there's a check mark next to Word Wrap, select with the mouse to turn the check mark off! 7) File - Open, find and open C:\browstat.txt. 8) Select all (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C), and Paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post. Do this from all 3 computers. In a situation like this, you take it one step at a time, til we're done. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Without any further diagnostics, I'll bet a firewall misbehaving - that's been the cause of a non-symmetrical problem like this I'd guess 90% of the time. Let's make sure though - look at current ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd" - Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window. Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, open file c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
