How to connect wireless dsl router & 4 laptops

[tsruBi]

Please any help with the following:
1x Iburst UTD connected by ethernet to a wireless/dsl/router, 4 x Win/xp wireless Laptops. Can get the router to connect to iBurst ok using the web interface, but can't see [share] the web on the laptops, the laptops see each other. IPcop is not an option in this case.

can the laptops wee the wireless router's card/ip ? How are the ip configs set on the lappys ( dhcp or static ) ? Is the router setup to hand out dhcp addresses ?

Yes lappys can see wireless router
ip config = dhcp
router hands out dhcp addresses

I can ping valid outside addresses google etc..
Is this a dns issue on router??

Thanks Obelix

hmmmm is a dns server configured in the router??

What normally happens is the router runs a chaching dns server and hands its own address out as the dns for the clients. On an XP machine, type "ipconfig /all" and see what the dns servers address is.

If it is the address of the router, then make sure that a dns has been setup on the router. Should be in a status page of some sort somewhere. Mine is setup to use whatever dns server it gets via dhcp on the pppoe link.

Otherwise, fill in the dns address under tcpip properties on your xp machine. my current ones are 168.210.2.2 and 196.14.239.2
