[MACEP] A puzzle for the day

[Mark Petersen]

Hi All,

I have a small mystery for you all.

With an iBook running with Airport on, I'm able to get immediate and  
full connection to the Web via a wireless router... which is set to  
be open - no WEP, etc.  No problems - everything works.

With a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP, I am able to connect up via  
wireless... the network panel in the control panel shows that I'm  
getting a 192...03 address assigned - and there's a 192...01  
gateway.  In other words, it says it's hooked up to the network and  
getting what it needs to be active on the Web.  However, neither e- 
mail nor browser nor pinging anything gets results.  No connection is  
reported.

So, what am I missing in figuring this out?  It was working about a  
week ago and then it just stopped... not too frustrating...

Any clues?  What should I try to suss this out?

You may reply either on or off list - depending on whether you think  
this is something others can learn from...

Cheers,
Mark
