Open Question: my laptop can’t connect to the internet via LAN/WLAN after resetting settings of router. how can i fix it?
Monday, September 29th, 2008here’s the story;
my 1st laptop (Hp Dv6000) connects to the internet normally, via lan cable or wirelessly.
then i got a new laptop (dell latitude d400) and it can’t access my internet at home, but it can access if connected via lan cable
my dad told me to reset the settings of the wireless router for the new laptop to work.
after reseting the wireless router, the new laptop’s internet worked, but my old laptop cant connect to the internet by WIFI or by LAN.
if i try to connect via:
WIFI- the computer say’s that it has a poor connection to the router and/or to find another wireless connection.
LAN- it says that i have to restart the modem and router, to reset the IP address automatically,
i tried all the options that the computer throw at me but nothing happens.. still no connection..)
what should i do for both the laptop’s internet to work fine??
thanks in advance

the router is netgear i dont know the product details
thanks! please edit your answers.. i really wanted to be connected!
