Hi,
I have a smiliar problem. I have a Dell laptop which was able to connect to
the internet through cable at another location. But when I moved to a new
location and tried to connect to its wireless network, a host of problems
occurred. First there was a clash of IP address, which I solved somehow
(don't exactly know how), and then when all the connection seems fine, I
could not connect to the Internet. The signal is excellent and connection was
OK.
A previous laptop user shared the same router with a laptop and a desktop,
and his laptop could easily connect to the Internet.
I've a Dell Inspiron 6000 and it has never had a failure to access Internet
problem after connection. I doubt it's a browser problem because I was using
it up till the day I switched to this new wirless network (it uses a WEP 64
bits).
I've also tried rebooting, disabling/enabling wirless, getting rid of both
Norton and Windows Firewall, and nothing worked.
Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!
