| | laptop connected to wireless network but no internet Hi I would be very grateful if someone could help me. I have got a broadband connection through Virgin Media. The ethernet cable is connected to the WAN port on the router. Both the desktop PC and laptop (desktop running Windows XP and laptop Vista Premium) are connected to the wireless network. The desktop PC connects to the internet fine via USB wireless adapter. The trouble im having is the laptop shows it is connected to the wireless network with excellent signal but whe n I double click on IE it does not seem to allow me to browse the internet. Any suggestions please? -- chris86 |
