Are you trying to make an Ad Hoc connection? (Connect 2 or more computers to each other Wireless)

If so please do the following:

Click Start
Click Connect to...

Click on Setup a Connection or network
Connect to....JPG


After that highlight the Connect to an Ad hoc Connection and click Next

Click Next and then set-up whatever Credentials that are required

And you should be able to connect to both computers

Note: you will need to Connect to the Ad Hoc connection for the other computer as if you were connecting to a router

Hope This Helps,
Josh

Sorry for my Mis-understanding I thought you wanted to connect the Computers to each other ,

When you connect to the router could you please run a Network Diagnostics when you Open Internet explorer and then Upload a Screen Shot of the Issue


See http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/148532-how-use-snipping-tool-vista.html?ltr=H For More Information

Also Please follow this and run the Attached File at the Bottom of the Post as Administrator on both computers

also Upload a screenshot of the IPCONFIG for both Computers

Many Thanks,
