Shared Network access on home computer

[Daytripper]

This has only just started happening in the last 2 weeks and I'm buggered igf I know what to do. For the previous 18 months everything was fine.

I have a motorola modem that goes into a d-link router.

I never have any problem using my home computer with this set up.

I also have a work laptop that needs internet access to link up to my work network. Up until 2 weeks ago I could access the internet with no problem however now for whatever reason it refuses to let me - only on my work laptop.

I have troubleshooted the following to find out the source of the problem.

* Borrowed another work laptop. Didn't work on that either.
* Plugged worklap directly into modem (bypassing wireless router). Unsuccessful.

From the above I can conclude that it is not a laptop issue nor is it a wireless issue.

* Tried to access the internet (wireless) from work laptops at another network (mates place). No problem.
* Then accessed my work network at mates place. No problem.

Okay - so its not my work profile. I thought that somehow work had disabled my work from home access but this is obviously not the issue.

When I do try at home - my router appears in the wireless connections however it simply won't let me connect.
My home PC however connects with no problem at all.

What do I need to do here. My home PC is running Windows Vista.

Help !!!!!!

copy or print all your settings and then restore your router to its default settings and rebuild it from the ground up.

it's the equivalent of turning it off then on, but it work surprisingly often.


also have a quick trawl thru the advanced settings to see you haven't restricted the router to only your home PC.
