I have two laptops the one i am on now which is connected wireless to the internet. My second laptop can pick up the wireless single but when i try to connect it to the Internet it wont connect. I am trying to get both going so i can use VNC to remote control my telescope camera setup. But i need this second laptop to connect to the internet. My wireless router has 4 ports so i can connect up to 4 computers. Any one help.

G'day Phil, sorry about the late reply on this, family stuff all weekend :ahh!:
Some routers can't handle more than one wireless connection. But if your laptop is seeing an available connection then you should be able to connect.
Try disconnection the laptop that is currently connected and try the other laptop. If it connects then, you'll know it's your router not liking more than one connection.
Also do you have security enabled? My router does not, so anyone can come in and setup a laptop and start surfing but if you have passwords and login names enabled in your router settings, this is may what be stopping you.
Let us know how ya go.
Cheers
Ray
