Desktop and wireless laptop cannot both use internet at the same t

Starting just last night, I cannot use the internet on my laptop and my
desktop at the same time. I have had both for years and years, no problem.
This just started yesterday!

Not really a question for the MediaCenter newsgroup.

So what changed?

How do you connect to the internet.

Do you connect via a router or though another computer?
If a Router, have you rebooted the Router?

Sorry if I am not in the right group. I am very new to this. I looked
around forever last night trying to make sense of where I should go.

My desktop has a cable modem, and the laptop is wireless. Unplugged my
router, and the cable company rebooted my modem. No change. I do not know
of any changes that would cause this.

If the memory is full on the labtop, will it cause these issues?

Thanks for your help. Chris

If you have a router then I would expect that it is connected to a cable
modem and that your desktop is connected to it and does not have it's own
separate cable modem.
Can you connect to your router from the wireless laptop even though it is
not connecting to the internet?
If you have two cable modems, one connected to the router and one connected
to your desktop then I would not expect you to be have both connected to the
internet at the same time with the same cable company account.
If you think your laptop memory is part of the problem then reboot your
laptop?
Have you tried rebooting the router by unplugging it for a couple of
minutes?

Unless you have disabled the swap file (AKA pagefile, virtual memory,
or memory management), memory won't be full.

Windows manages memory. It uses a chunk of disk to hold some of the
contents of memory that aren't needed at a given moment, so that other
applications can load in and use the memory they need.
