Sort of an odd problem here I think. We've got wireless broadband with the modem in the main office and a wireless router there connected up (via cable) to a couple of desktop machines and then a long stretch of CAT 5 running into a second building where there's another wireless router acting as a slave to the first one providing wifi to the second building, I used to be in that building and could connect no problem.
We've done a bit of redeveloping lately and I'm now based in another building in between those two, there's no wires into it but it's close enough to the two routers to see both of them (for whatever reason the router in the main office was renamed to something specific to us and the second router when it was installed was just left as "default"). If I log onto "default" it's a very weak signal and only have a slow, intermittent connection. If I use the first router I can connect to the network but don't have any internet connectivity unless one of the computers (now that I think of it the one I always use when trying to get it to work is the computer that configured the router, I don't know if that's significant) has a web browser open.
All machines are Windows of various ilks. Mine is Vista.
Thoughts?
