Can the PC's ping each other? Have you got MAC filtering enabled on your router?

Basically the problem is we have 4 accounts on the PC, and since setting up the wirless broadband for the laptop and PC, only one account can gain access to the internet on the PC, the other 3 receive a 403 error message

make sure that each user's internet explorer is set as follows
tools> internet options> connections (tab)> LAN settings> check the 'automatically detect settings' box.
also make sure the 'never dial a connection' box is also checked on the commections panel
hope that helps (its soooooooo hard to describe in words lol)
MAC filtering wouldnt be the problem, or none of the accounts on the laptop would work
It would be, if he had the MAC filtering on, but only the MAC address of the Laptop put in.
exactly. the 'laptop' caries the mac address, not the 4 users on the laptop therefore none would work if mac filtering wasnt set up correctly
I interpreted his post incorrectly, I thought he meant 4 PCs; in that case, your right, MAC filtering wouldn’t play a part.
Alrite lads cheers for the help will have a go later and report back
Make everyone admin, sorted
Give us some info on your Router make/model so we can give you some deteiled instructions.
Basic thing you have to check on your router configuration utility is the access settings. Maybe you have permitted access to the laptop only either by mac address filtering or ip filtering. You have to check and make sure that you haven't denied access to the rest of the computers on your network. Give it a try and let us know.
