Hello, I tried to help my mum with her new broadband yesterday. She can connect via LAN with the Ethernet cable but cannot connect through WiFi, even though the computer is showing as connected to an unidentified wireless network, which is her wireless network, but can't access the internet. The ISP had me put the DNS settings in, and as it connects wirelessly through my iPhone, are not willing to help. When running the broadband set up CD again, it fails every time in the final check when it comes to internet access. This leads me to believe it's something on the computer stopping this connection. It's not the Firewall as I've tried turning it off and trying. I've reset the Network Adapter as that works on mine occasionally. Does anybody have any advice on what it could be. Many thanks in advance.

Disable wireless security and try.

Hello,
I'm connected to a public server at my university and the wifi says connected but I don't have access to the internet. I know the Internet works, because I'm accessing it through my phone.

I'm thinking i need to resurgirías my computer, but i have no idea how to bring up that page since it comes up automatically. Can you help? Thanks

Hello,

I am sharing a wireless modem connection with my neighbour (long story - he has the modem and has loaned the secured access key to me) and he only just gave me the access key today. I initially had issues with connecting the modem (ie was recieving "Limited or no connectivity" messages even though I had a strong signal) until I figured out how to connect it [ie by changing the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) settings; User Configured to IP address:192.168.0.2; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0].

However, this has not solved the problem of connecting me to the internet! When I attempt to use ie7 to browse, I still get the error "Internet Explorer cannot display web p...
