Javier,
You should be able to get your laptop accessing the internet - but the
desktop shouldn't be involved at all. The Belkin router should be the
default gateway for the laptop, just as it is for the desktop. I'm
assuming that the laptop connects to the Belkin wirelessly.
Please provide ipconfig data for both the desktop and laptop. Start -
Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad - copy and paste into your next post.
Cheers,
Chuck
