I have 2 pc's 2 dongles and one router. I am unable to use the internet on both pc's at the same time. What do I need to do to get access to the internet from both pc's at the same time

Could you give a little more information about how your network is set up? Are both of the computers connecting with wireless?

Hi there, both pc's have dongles configured to the router and when working one at a time they work fine, however when trying to access the internet at the same time one of the pc's disconnect

Sounds like you have set them both to the SAME static IP address.
You need to either
1/ set different IP addresses
Or
2/ set them to automatic DHCP addressing.

Hmm... normally, that shouldn't happen. What type of wireless are you using? Is it bluetooth, or 802.11a/b/g/n (any of those letters)?

Ah.. nice catch. Wonder why I didn't think of that...
