ok, sorry about that. I'm not really sure how to ping the computers, cause i don't know their ip addresses, they are set to obtain one automatically, but the one good thing is, i came home, and all of a sudden the internet is working and hooked in the router on the desktop. i'm still gonna need to test the wireless laptop, but if that works, that will be great. Can you explain how to test ping exactly? like how can i find out what ip each computer is, even when it's on automatic. Well, going to check the laptop, be back with an update.
