Have a home network set up with 2 laptops on it. One laptop has wirless built in and msn connects and runs well. The second is connected via cat5 and msn will not connect however i can surf the net with IE. Both are connected to a wireless access point, and the access point is connected to my adsl modem by cat5. i want to know what i need to do to get msn to work on the second laptop.

Any help would be great.

I have a PC with a linksys access point feeding two more wifi PC's and up to 3 more wifi laptops - all was well until one of the PC's lost msn, net access etc was fine and if i looked in task manager msn had started as normal but there was no sign of it logging in or sat as usual on the taskbar. I reinstalled it and all the usual stuff but nothing worked then i tried a reset of the access point (normally it never gets turned off) so I switched it off for ten minutes and low and behold all worked fine again. All I can suggest is the PC that stopped working belongs to my eldest daughter and her msn is alive with smiley's and the like where all the others are pretty 'clean'---- Hope this helps.
