Red face Two laptops sharing wifi issues
Hi guys, so I have two laptops, both running vista.

Run independently I have no issues connecting to the net using my homes wifi connection.

Strange thing is, if I have them both running at the same time I can only connect to the net with one of them.

I don't think it's a wireless router issue, I can connect to the Internet with an iPod touch using wifi at the same time with no dramas.

Any suggestions on where to start looking?

Cheers

Chief

I need more info on this:

Are you using a router, if so which one? (Model, version)

Is media sharing enabled on both computers?
