Maybe you friend has the router setup to filter out IP ranges through port 80 (www). Connecting through the wireless give one IP address. Connecting through the wired NIC give another. Have your friend check his router configuration. Also, is your friends access point configured for mixed-mode (b/g)?
I am using a Centrino based notebook with built in 802.11b wireless. It works very well with my Realtek 802.11b access point, but when I tried it at a friends place with his 802.11g access point I got some strange results. I could ping a computer on his network and some sites. A tracert to yahoo.com shows the first 7 ok but no reply from
8 onwards. Web pages don't display. The same computer connected to his router with a cable works as it should.Barry
