I recently purchased 2 laptops for my house (already having a desktop computer -- not efficient/sufficient). I used a Belkin Wireless G card, since both the laptops have built-in routers, in order for it to sign on to the internet. It DOESN'T. My laptop reads the connection, but as soon as you try to go to a website, the computer prompt tells you that there is "limited or no connectivity". I tried directly connecting my Toshiba cable modem to the laptop in order for it to sign online. It read the modem, but it STILL wouldn't sign on. I can't go to any website on either laptop, even though I already set up a shared Network Connection. It always says that it's "Disconnected", even when the network light is green.
I also tried to set it up so that my computers are on a LAN, so I could view files from my desktop on one of the laptops. That didn't work either, and I presume that it's because of firewall security, but honestly, I have no idea how to fix that, either.
If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.
(Keep in mind: this is for two laptops).
