Hi all!
I'm trying to set up an encrypted wireless network at my girlfriend's house. Attached to her PC with XP is the router (a Netcomm NB5PlusBW ADSL2+ Modem router), and her internet works fine. I can also connect with my Vista laptop successfully to the internet, and have had no problems. Also, we have had no problems setting up another flat mates laptop (who has now left).
However, I haven't been able to set up her other flat mate's laptop. Originally, the DCHP was connecting to some random IP address, and I manually put in one close to the PC that is working (see below)
When I ipconfig/all each computer, I get:

It detects and connects to the network fine (with excellent strength), but it doesn't connect to the internet. ANy help or advice would be much appreciated!
