I have a Linksys BEFSR41 v 4.3 wired router connecting two computers, both running XP. Both computers can share files and the "local" computer can use the printer attached to the "remote" computer. The local computer has internet access, but the remote computer says it has "little or no connectivity" and when I attempt to repair all I get is
"Repair Local Area Connection
Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the
following action cannot be completed:
Renewing your IP address
For assistance, contact the person who manages your network."
Unfortunately I am the person who "manages" this network so the recommendation was not very helpful.
Each computer can ping the other and the router but the remote computer cannot reach anything on the internet. I spent over an hour with one of the Linksys phone help folks, but he could not resolve the problem. I must say that I am at a loss as to why I cannot connect with the internet via the router when I have no problem filesharing.
