    laptop and desktop wireless conflict in same room


    Hi Guys

    I have a laptop and desktop in same room, when I turn on the laptop the desktop conflicts with the laptop therefore no connection, when I turn off the laptop the desktop connection is good again. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Try downloading and installing the latest wireless drivers for each PC.

    By conflicts, do you mean they both have the same IP Address? If so, have you assigned fixed IP addresses to both computers, as that's what it sounds like.

    DO the following on each computer in turn:
    Click on Start then Run or press Window key (next to left Ctrl key) +R and paste the following into the Run box, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

    cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

    and press ENTER.

    A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close.

    If you don't have a Run selection off the Start menu, see here: Enable Run Command on Windows 7 or Vista Start Menu
    That will show how you TCP/IP is setup.
