adsl modem router problem

Hi

I have a home network of 4 PCs all on win XP-home, 3 of them are running wirelessly from a Netgear adsl modem router and one on a LAN cable from the router. This works without any problem. I would now like to run all of them wirelessly - I installed a new wireless usb adapter on this PC and unhooked the LAN cable from the router. The PC shows connected OK but when I try to access the internet I get nothing. The other PCs are still working fine so why not this one? (sorry if it's a dumb question but it all looks logical to me!).

Hi

If you have any of the security measure On make sure that the new Wireless is configured with the correct info (Like WEP/WPA key).

You nee to also:

1) Release the IP address by the LAN card

2) Renew the IP address for the wireless card.

3) Start --> Run: ---> cmd ---> ipconfig /flushdns

It seem that the Windows is routing thru the "old" IP settings (LAN) before
the wireless card is accessed.

Also, do not forget to set up a WPA/WEP wireless security key. Several ISP
companies now want to charge the difference cost between a home Internet
service and a commercial Internet service if they can prove that you set up a
"hotspot" (free wireless Internet access area) weither accidentally or not.
