I’ve a problem connecting via cable to the internet on a couple of Lenovo laptops using broadcom 590x cards. Both laptops will connect on wireless without issues and both work on cable in the office. It’s not a cable problem as I can connect other laptops using the same cable and the TCP/ICP properties are set correctly. Both machines are running Vista. In network and sharing centre I get the info that I am connected but local access only. This problem has arisen several times when trying to connect via cable in hotels and affects both machines but my netbook will work fine so the problem is definitely with the laptops.
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks
