My sbc yahoo dsl works on my laptop, while it does not work on my desktop, which is hooked up to the same router and modem. Does anybody know the problem and how I could fix it?

If the PC use to be connected directly to the modem before introduction of the router into the equation, it may still be attempting to use PPPoE to establish a connection. Check and alter the nic cards network settings as needed.

Assuming all of your equipment is fine:
Check the settings for your local area network connection on your desktop computer. Go into network connections, select local area network, click properties, select TCP/IP and click properties again.
Whatever you see there should match your laptop settings- which is usually "Obtain an IP address auotmatically" and "Obtain DNS server automatically". If it's different, change it to what your laptop is using.

in accordance with what you assert. it is not hassle-free to confirm what the undertaking is. you probably did no longer say regardless of while you're utilising intense velocity or dial or instantaneous. while you're utilising a instantaneous internet, it must be sign barrier difficulty. while you're utilising intense velocity, it must be secret agent ware difficulty, if dial up, must be bandwidth difficulty. in case you have been utilising you pc ok until now. i do no longer think of it relatively is pc difficulty. Modem potential surge difficulty is likewise available.
