    I have a PC and a laptop connected to internet via ADSL modem given by BSNL. PC is windows XP Pro and Laptop with windows XP home. When I try to login to the server from the software trade anywhere, there is no problem in PC. In laptop the same program hangs. Further I have seen, I could connect internet sites before that login in laptop, but after login trial, it hangs saying looking up and then says site could not be found. Because of this I feel something is happening to DNS server connection. What to do to avoid this problem? whether anymore info required?

    On each system, go to Start-->Run... and enter the following command (without quotation marks): "ipconfig /all" and hit Enter. That should bring up the IP configuration for each network adapter on the system. Compare the DNS Server entries on each to see if they're both the same. Also, check to make sure that your laptop is properly receiving automatic IP info from the router under DHCP.

    Thanks for your response. I have configured the router adsl modem for specific hardware address, specific IP address. It has dns server 192.168.1.1 which is the gateway also. My problem is every thing works fine until I start that program trade anywhere and try to login to their server. When I try to login, the program hangs and further any site I try to access in browser, waits for looking up the site and finally says site not found. Hence I feel something is happening to DNS after I try to login to trade anywhere server from laptop. But from my PC there is no problem.

    Further how to display only lvgandhi instead of my full EMail id appearing in the post here in this forum.

    Very simple way to start testing the hypothesis: open a command console window, and ping the particular website you're trying to connect to - if you don't get responses echoed back from that server, then the problem lies with your setup, not with the tradeanywhere software.
