    A Windows XP computer was operating in a location in my home where it had to use a wireless connection. Now I have moved it to a location where an Ethernet cable exists.

    Problem: With the cable connected, the computer can see the other home computers on the network and they can see that one, BUT.... I cannot establish an internet connection using the wired network. I have re-installed the wireless in its new location, and I have full Internet access.

    What next???

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
