LAN/wireless problems with company laptop!
Hi guys
So my company gave me a laptop, which works fine on the company LAN network. But when I try to run it at home, the LAN network shows limited/no availability error. My other laptop runs quiet well on the same LAN cable. Can anyone help ?

Please do not do this again.

First talk to your company about their security policies and see if they've allowed access to other wireless networks...

Thanks for the reply.

To answer the question, yes they do. I can see everyone else using their work laptops at home or anywhere else. In fact, we are supposed to be even working from home at times []

Okay - next step
Assuming XP

Hit
Start - Run - (type) cmd (enter)

In the DOS window that appears please type:

ipconfig /all (with the space)

Report back what you get.......................

Is this wireless connected or cable connected?

Is it connected direct to the modem or to a wireless router?

Please check in device manager for any yellow symbol located in network adaptor section.

Hi, sorry for the delay.
Here's what I get:

So you're using a cable? have you tried the wiress connection ( press Fun next to the \Windows KeyFun and F2).
You could also set up a Stactic address, If you're in XP click Start, connections, right click the connections then click Properties, now enter an IP address like 193/268.0.2 or what ever numbers are not used, use the 255.255.255.0 in the 2nd box, now enter 192.168.0.1 in the final box.
