Hi Martin -
The OS is Vista on the laptop, and I can't find a tab for IP, there are only
2 pages under properties one is connection, and the other is security. Under
connection, it just shows check boxes for connecting when in range or to a
prefered network, nothing about setting the IP address -
Andy

| Start menu
| settings
| control panel
| Network connections
| highlight wireless connection
| press alt-enter to get into properties
| scroll down to internet protocol (TCP-IP)
| tab to properties and press enter
| there you will find the radio buttons for setting ip to auto or manual.
| select the manual tcp-ip and enter your ip address. If you are going to
use
| your PC and laptop together make sure your PC hasn't already been
| allocated the same ip address, you may have to set your pc address
manually
| as well, try it out and see first.
| I don't think you'll need to set dns to manual so just tab past this and
| the advanced button and OK the new ip setting when done.
