Strange Wireless Problem

[leofea]

Hi,

I have tried this question with CNET, but no one could figure out the answer, so I am trying you.

I have two laptops. I have just got a wireless hub for my internet.

The first laptop, I entered in the key, and connected, and internet was working instantly.

However, the second laptop. I entered in the key, and it connected to the wireless. It is showing "connected" in the bottom right hand corner of screen. However, when I try to access the internet, it comes up with page cannot be displayed.

I have tried connecting with ethernet cable, and it works fine.

Hope you can help.

Thank you



Leo

With wireless are you connecting with a pci wireless card or inbuilt, answer this, and I can help you.

I am using the wireless that came as standard with the laptop when new, I presume it is inbuilt.

The inbuilt has most likely stuffed up or broken. It may have been turned off, many possibilities, I suggest getting the warranty in and get a new laptop.
