Hello,

Hello,
I cannot connect to internet on a windows vista laptop but I can on my computer.
The internet icons to connect to show up and when I click on the main one, enter the password, it loads for like 5 minutes then just closes that little box and I'm still not connected to the internet? I've rebooted router, restarted the laptop.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me solve this problem, if theres a button on the keyboard I need to press and you know about it, I would love it if you could help.
Thanks a lot for your time!!

It's a router that has a lead connecting to my computer but is also a wifi one as it accepts WIFI laptops.
And yes, I were able to connect to the laptop before. I've had this problem for about 1 week now, but before that it was working fine.
Thanks for your reply.

There are many internet icons available obviously because it picks up neighbour connections. When I rightclick it, it just says "What's this?"
