Computer HELP!

[ckBejug]

Ok so I have a cable connection and I have a router. The router is plugged into one laptop in my room, another ethernet cable goes from the router through the roof/attic into my perents room laptop, and a third ethernet cable goes from the router through the roof/attic into my sisters room laptop. My laptop goes online but my sisters and parents latop won't go online... WHY???

Were the other two computers working before and they stoped working for some reason?

If this is the case you can try shutting all the computer computers down and unplug modem and router...
wait a about a minute and power modem and router...
after modem is online then power on your computers.

If you just got your router you need to run Network wizard on the other computers.

Go to control panel
click Network and Internet Connections
Click Set up or change your home or small office network
and follow instructions its very simple.

So I did that whole unplug everything and plug it back in and reboot thing and now my computer won't go online but my parents will. How annoying. I shall try this network wizard thing tonight. Hopefully it will work. Thanks!

i say just toss the whole thing out the window

Yeah someone did that once and ended up killing this guy who was walking on the street under his window. He went to jail.

I dont know why but the same thing happens to me. running the network wizard usually takes care of the problem.
