    Can you be more specific?

    i assume that you mean you can access the internet by "and connect ok"... if this is the case, then your router is not configured to use wep/wpa.

    you need to setup your router to use wep/wpa, and then use the key the router shows you to connect (you will not be able to connect without it)

    Yes, you should be able to have both connected at the same time!

    What do you mean by "loose connection"? do you mean both laptops disconnected?
