[SOLVED] Belkin wireless & notebook help needed!!!!

[Wackster71]

Hiya all,

I have recently purchased a HP DV6547TX notebook which comes with a wireless connection. My PC however has never had wireless and because we have cable connection here things seemed a bit awkward.

Today I purchased a Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router and after much stuffing around managed to get it setup.

The router is hardwired to my pc and I have internet connection, however, I cannot get wireless connection and I would like my laptop to connect to my desktop and be able to share files and the internet when I am at home.

How on earth do I do this?

I have tried to create a wireless connection on my desktop pc and it says there is no wireless devices found. I have tried to do this on my laptop sitting right next to the router and this says no wireless devices found aswell.

This is my ipconfig/all details for you and I am stuffed if I know what to do now.

Yes, as you can see I can get my desktop to connect to the net, however I cannot get my router to recognise the wireless laptop. When I run the easy install wizard for the router, it doesn't complete and I cannot access 192.168.2.1 to enter the configue of the router. As far as my desktop PC is concerned, when I search for wireless devices it doesn't even see the router.

How about an IPCONFIG /ALL from the laptop? You don't need a wireless card in the desktop to share wirelessly with the laptop. Also, did you try connecting the laptop with a wire to see if it connects that way?
