(you may need to reboot both computers after setup) This is also a good tutorial Beginners Guides: Printer Sharing on a Home Network you should also check to see if you have all the computers set up with the same workgroup name. "Workgroup name: This is the name of your network if you like. By default Windows XP will call your workgroup MSHOME, but you can change this as long as all the PCs on your network have the same workgroup name. (To see the computers in your network, click My Computer and choose Network Places from the bar on the left side. From there click View Workgroup Computers.)"

"What you are trying to do, is often to stay off line long enough for your IP to be allocated to someone else, which will then FORCE the server to assign you a new IP . Breaking the DHCP lease, and disconnecting equipment during this time, increases your chances of this." "Most people have dynamic IP's these days, which means it should be easy to switch IPs , yet for some people this may not work very well. In some cases, especially with new Fiber optic networks, even if you RESET, or UNPLUG your router , you still get the same IP when you return online. That's because there is a additional device, a fiberoptic bridge, that sits usually outside the house, is powered from the pole, and cannot be easily reset or powered down by the user. This device will continue to hold a live connection (and thus an IP)even when you fiddle with your router."

All is now working. Here is what I did: I removed the ethernet cable connecting the Cradlepoint router to the second (Netgear) router, and connected it directly to the computer. I really believe that the cable from the Netgear router to the computer is faulty, so I will buy another one. I use the Netgear to give the wireless signal a wider range than the Cradlepoint provides. Zep, I checked the TCP/IP properties, and it was not checked to Obtain DNS server address automatically. Instead, it had the ip address of the Cradlepoint router entered. I changed it, following your instructions, and kept losing the connection, so I put the setting back as it was. I think there is a reason I had it that way. I am using Open DNS on the router, and I think the instructions were to set it up that way. At any rate it is now working, so I'll leave well enough alone. Oh, yes, the wireless is working also. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

How do you connect to the internet? Cable, What is the name of your Router make & model. What operating system are you using. Is this a wireless setup?
