Network problems

Johnsonson · 03-17-2007, 01:50 PM

I have an NTL cable modem, into a netgear router. One desktop pc is connected via ethernet cable - this works fine - internet works. A laptop connects to the network via wireless - internet also works fine. but on the other desktop computer the network does not work at all. the windows network dialog shows that there is a connection. but i can get no internet connection. ALTHOUGH - it seems to work for certain things such as updating anti virus software - but this is does not happen all the time!!
Ive had this problem before and had to resort to restoring the factory setting of the pc... but id rather not do that again... can anyone suggest how i can fix this problem?!?!
Thank you for your time in reading this message : )
