Hello buddy,

just try one thing. on your internet browser just click on tools and then internet options. under the connection tab click on the lan settings and just check that the automatically detect settings is ticked.

if it doesnt work then repost an add here.

see you

There could be few reasons for this:

1. Check your connection properties, it should be configured to - Obtain an IP address automatically.

2. Check the router's security settings or security key and sync with your laptop.

This should work, if not let me know

I had problems with the same configuration (Belkin wireless router while on vacation at a rental home). I found out hkater that Toshiba is not compatible with the model Belkin which I was connected to.

I have a HP Labtop with Vista. I am having the same problem. The funny thing is that all of my connections are working fine, but the web page says that it can not be displayed. But the funny part is that Yahoo Messanger WORKS!!! But that web page does not. Any help would be nice.

Hi,
I am having the same issue before when i bought a new modem. Can access Yahoo but not other website(regarldess of using wireless network nor wried network). For my case, the reason was the modem was not registered with the network provider. Call the network provider and they will update it.

I just got an Asus EeePC and I can see my home network and I hooked up to my wireless, I entered my WEP and it said 'connected'.

But my Local Area Connection says it isn't connected.

If I IPconfig in my Cmd Prompt it gives me an IP adress for my wireless adapter but it says that my media is disconnected for my ethernet.

Any idea what is going on?

If I go online it just says that I the page cannot be displayed.

Windows XP
Google Chrome

Hello there. Im running with Windows 7, and i can't seem to connect via wifi.

The problem is that i can't switch on my wifi. I go to Windows Mobility Center, and Wifi stands as "Locked" in off position. Don't know what to do.
i've tried downloading drivers, without any luck tho. Anyone got any idea what to do?.. Perhaps Windows 7 is lacking?

I am doing some experiment with my Home network.
I use Verizon internet DSL to connect all my home computers to the Internet through a WIRED router and Cat 5 ethernet cable.
You may say, well what this has to do with my wireless problem. continue reading.
Somehow I decided to buy just a USB-wireless adapter (I dont have a wireless access point or WAP).

I connected the wireless adapter to one of my home computers, and suddenly it came up with a message to browse for wireless networks. I clicked on the link and a window with 2 or 3 wireless networks appeared (probably my neighbors).

One of the wireless-networks did not have any security so I clicked on connect.
at this point I was not sure if I was browsing the internet with the wired-connection (Verizon) or the new wireless connection (after investigating it was a Comcast wireless).

In order to see if the wireless connection was the one giving me internet service, I un-plugged the DSL phone wire from the Verizon router. At this point I tried to navigate the internet and NO connection to the internet was present.

Then I unplugged the Ethernet cable (cat 5) from the computer, and again I left the DSL cable unplugged from the DSL router. At this point I was navigating the Internet, so the wireless connection I setup was giving me internet service,

The conclusion is, and I have not been able to find the answer to it, is that while the Ethernet cable is plugged (or the Ethernet card in network connections is 'enabled'), no internet is possible with the wireless card.

Anyone who wants to jump on this please do so, I would like to know why I can not surf the net using both at the same time, the ethernet connection and the wireless connection.

I have a Sony Vaio, I was running Vista and was able to connect automatically to the wifi here in my house. I updated to Windows 7 last night and now it won't connect via wifi or ethernet cord. I tried to diagnose the problem it says something about wireless network adapter it makes no sense I've reset my router and I can't do a thing. Worse of all I didn't create a restore point so I can't go back to vista and Windows 7 won't let me use magic disc to boot windows Vista. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me solve this problem I'm going to start pulling my hair out.

Another thing that caused issues on my wifi was AVG 8.5 for W7. What version are you running?

Your computer was a Microsoft update. Your best solution would be to delete your recent updates one at a time to determine which one is the culprit. The same thing happened to me and I noticed that it occured after the updates. Good Luck.

I had the same prob. what worked for me was on the desktop the wireless(as i call it dick) is at the bottom right hand side of the monitor.click on it open your wirless and it will give you options ontop of page. it will say you are connected to windows. change to belkin and save.when it is saved change it back to windows and save.the little monitor on the bottem of desk top should then say you are now coneccted to the intternet and away you go.it worked for me.norm

SAME! Omg, I thought I might have been the only one. Okay, so two months ago, I used wireless internet and connected to belink? or something? and everything was great. Everything was fine. Until. It just stopped. It said connected. The internet connection was good. But the internet page, and itself just didn't work. I thought "Oh, I'll just give it a week or two before I start worrying".

Well it's been 2 months. T_T I went to my grandma's house, and I could connect to HER ACTUAL internet, that she pays for. And so everything was.. slighty okay, even though I had to travel for like 30 mins if I wanted to use her internet (by walking of course).

So.. just yesterday, I started freaking out because, it said I couldn't use her internet. D:
I DON"T KNOW WHY! So my aunt recovered my computer (I lost all my information for school and everything) and everything was back to normal. I could use linksys. But after 3 - 6 hours. the same thing happened again. So again, I recovered my computer to it's default state. GUess what? same thing happened after 4 hours of interenet usage. AGAIN. it's pissing me off, I've already .lost all my information, and IO can't even connect to the computer to do my homework. What the freak.

A simple thing, but check in File of your Internet browser and make sure "work offline" is not checked.

Hi guys if you have both WIFI and Cable LAN you may have a conflict over where your PC should obtain internet access from. Remove the Default Gateway from your cable LAN, if you have set any but set static IP, and set the WIFI connection to DHCP Enabled. This should help.

I have an HP dv9420ca laptop. I have it dual booting with both vista and xp. The problem I'm having is in xp. For some reason a balloon will pop up saying I have available wireless networks but when I click on it, it never shows any. I know there's about 9 available networks around because my roomate can pick up on them and when I switch over to vista I can too. Does anyone have any suggestions?
