Strange network problem with XP/Windows 7
Hi,
This is my first post so please go easy on me but I really hope someone on here will be able to help with my problem. I have a wired router that connects to the phone line and into this I have plugged in a wireless router that I have inherited. The wireless router can only receive a cable input (i.e. not from the phone line) so this is the reason I have this weird router configuration.
Anyway, I have two computers that I want to connect to the internet using the wireless router, one runs xp and the other windows 7 starter. Now in order to get both these computers to connect to the internet I need to boot them up and then restart them before they will connect. I'm guessing it is something to do with the weird configuration of the routers and it's not as if I'm unable to connect to the internet at all, but if anyone can suggest a fix so that I don't have to restart my computers before being able to get online it would be much appreciated!
