I have a network of XP computers connected to an SMC hub/router which works without problems, mainly using ethernet cables but occasionally on wireless. I am trying to connect a new Windows 7 laptop with a Realtek PCIe GBE controller and an Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter.
The laptop connects to the correct wireless network without any problem. I can see all the XP computers and the router (and I can see the laptop from other computers too), but I have no internet access. I have no previous knowledge of Win7 but I have set the network to WORK and entered the workgroup name. Windows firewall is set to private network. I have tried connecting an ethernet cable but this doesn't help.
Network diagnostics can only suggest a DNS problem, but both adapters have TCP/IP v6 and v4 set to obtain IP and DNS automatically.
There is probably something very silly that I've forgotten to do, so please could someone put me right? Thanks, Mike
