    1-2-3 help please for getting a connection on my laptop

    i have a desktop pc with broadband connection.
    i have just installed a belkin wireless adapter.
    i have a laptop with an intergrated wirless capabilty.
    both are win xp.
    I have enabled wireless on laptop.
    In the task bar of both machines a tv monitor appears that seems to show the 2 are talking.
    I want to use internet explorer on my lap top using the wireless connection from main pc.
    I opened ie on lap top and nothing happens.

    Hmm have you tried tools>internet options>connections and delete and previous connections so that its not trying to dial out or anything? Had a similar problem when setting up a network.

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    Go Tools>internet options>connections and click never dial a network then make sure your lan settings are right.
    Good Luck
