I mean, I, myself, power off the router and the power it on to make
the connextion goes enabled. But yesterday, when I fire up the second
computer, I did thing different. I wen to the
Control Panel->Network Connexions->Local area connextion panel
And there, on the support tab did click on the repair button. That
fixed the problem.
I trying the same this morning and this time the connextion went
without a glitch and without and futher action from myself.
> you could never run two computers at the same time, could you? If that is what is happening, please tell us more.
Yes I could, but for some reason I dont know why the connexion was not
automaticly done.
Thanks you Dean
