I just moved in with my room mate and I brought my WGR614 v9 router with me that I had used back at home. I hooked everything up to her PC and internet but there was a problem:

My laptop gets internet because of the router, but my roomie's desktop does not. It's weird. In fact, the only way to get a connection on both systems is to bridge the connection.

It's not a hardware problem because I connected my laptop to the same port in the back with the same cable I had to used to connect the Desktop and... it worked fine!

So whats the problem? I've already tried a manual Static IP config. I can't even sign on the www.routerlogin.com on the desktop! Only the laptop.

Thanks
