    I have a toshiba notebook running windows xp home w/ SP2.
    My bro has a desktop running Win Xp Pro w/Sp2.\

    I bought a Linksys wireless - B 2.4 Ghz 802.11b router, and sharing the connection was fine, then recently my brother couldnt get online but i still could (wirelessly). the only way he can get on is if i discconnect my connection and he connects from his computer.

    Altough I have this problem, I can still share a connection with my Xbox(XBOX LIVE), could it be a problem on his computer, if so how can i fix it. Please help.

    Seems to be an obtaining IP issue.

    Check the DHCP setting at the computer and the Router.

    Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network Settings, and Sharing.

    Link to: Windows Network - Installing & Sharing.

    :cool:
