CAN WE CONNECT BOTH OF THEM ?
My My My what recomendations.............anyway....
If i read you post correctly, you have you PC connected with beetle router and you say your laptop is connected with a router as well, is it the same Beetle router you are talking about??, or r u confused with a beetle Modem. Anyway assuming its not beetle Modem and you do not have any internet connection. This is how it should be..............
1. No modem and no internet connection.
PC ==== LAN CABLE ===== > Beetle Router (thats it simple)
You dont have to assign any ipss if you are using a Router, thats what DHCP is your router will automatically assign them. Keep the setting to automatically assign IP
Once this is done, use your laptop to search a wifi connection, which it should as a Beetle connection.
Now again assuming the sharing is enabled you should see you computer name while searhing for teh same on you laptop. Mak sure the workgroup for both the systems is same.
There are lot of other factors as well, but try these and report and we shall see what can be done from there......
