5. tried pinging but it gives error timed out ...

6 i am using cable

do i to change some seting in router/ip setting ..?

please do help....
 
Are u using dial up to connect on either lappy?

1. Set up ur modem for auto-dial and enable DHCP.
2. Keep IP settings on both lappies on auto.
3. Run Network setup wizard on both lappies with the same work group name and enable file sharing.
4. You can go to BSNL BROADBAND MAIN MENU for the settings of ur router. You can either use their settings of fixed IPs or allow DHCP. Also, using the OpenDNS address of 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS settings should give u a boost in surfing.
 
Also, adding to what Naga said, disable the Windows firewall or any other firewall you might have running on both laptops.
 
Thanks for Revert mate ...

I am on dial up rite now as i have NU.

I have already tried step 1,3 ,,, but i could not do step 2 as one of lappy gives error when trying to set on auto mode. it says "u might not have access to network resourses ..." and there is explanatory mark with yellow background...

firewall disabled...

how to proceed now...

Step 2 will always be possible if everything is ok with ur hardare/ software environment. Re-install ur wi-fi drivers and un install any software security suites u might have . If u can't set up automatic IPs, something is wrong with either ur OS or the drivers.
