Only seems to allow one wireless connection at a timeHi - I have 2 laptops (both on wireless network) and 2 (1 on wireless)
desktops On the wireless network it seems like I can only connect 1 pc at once. I thought I was supposed to be able to connect any number? This has been going on for ages, I thought it was a glitch with one old PC, but now have a new netbook, it seems that it's the network. I have a netgear dg834pn router and all wireless PC's run XP home SP3. Except netbook the other 3 pc's have Kaspersky firewall. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks Andrew Andrew_JMData wrote:

Basically, as far as I can work out once you have connected one pc, you can't connect any other. The only error is "contact your administrator!". Only security is Kaspersky.

You should probably get in touch with Netgear support. You could try in the Netgear forum: http://forum1.netgear.com/forumdisplay.php?f=33 Be sure to include the make/models of your wireless adapters and which version of Windows you're using (in each of the computers) -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm I'll have a go at that.

Did you checked the Router's DHCP to make sure that it is sett give more than one IP. BTW. You Wireless Router is a Router/Modem and some of those live in their own world. ;) - :D As far as Windows XP is concerned,If you want to check the Wireless setting of each computer use this page. http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
