What particular ports are you trying to foward to? Would help with a little more information, and what errors you are getting.
As for the laptop, I assume you checked your IP address to verify you are connected to the router? If so, should be something like 192.168.1.102 If you are getting a good IP address, Ping the routers gateway address, I.E.
Ping 192.168.1.1
should get a reply from
If so, you know you are connected to the router. If you can't get internet, do you get internet on other computers connected to the router? This could be a DNS issue. Try pinging a couple web sites I.E.
Ping
www.yahoo.com
Ping
www.google.com
If you get a request timed out, try pinging their DNS numbers.
I.E.
Ping 216.176.128.10
If you get replies from, then you have a DNS routing problem. To fix this, log into your router, and under internet, check to see what your DNS addresses are provided to you from your service provider. Should have at least 2 maybe 3. Write down Primary and Secondary DNS numbers.
If you are using Windows XP, go to control panel, then click on network connections. Highlight your wireless network connection, right click and choose properties.
Select "TCP/IP"
Choose properties
You will see a couple different options. Leave it at obtain IP address automatically.
Below that you should see, use automatic DNS configuration. Set it to Specify DNS configuration, and you will see 2 boxes light up. Put in the DNS numbers here for primary and secondary that you wrote down from the router. Apply the changes, will take a min for windows to save settings, then press any OK buttons. Now try and surf. Should work.
