My wife's laptop (HP-Windows XP) was used by our son at a land party. Now she can't get on the internet. I checked her IP address and it is different from my laptop (Dell-Windows XP). Also her Default Gateway # is different from her IP address. on my Dell the Default Gateway # is the same as my IP address without the 2 zeros on the end. Do I need to change her IP address to match mine? How would I do that? Is the Default Gateway # & IP address suppose to be the same?
All fixed! I got help at Yahoo Answers. Thanks!
