Hello kind people, this keeps happening to me...

I have a netgear router from AOL on this desktop which has the normal DSL connection. I have recently bought a Sweex wireless dongle to connect my dad's comp to the wireless. All installed and says i have excellent reception, however when i load firefox i only get the google homepage and occasionally one other page before it dies- 'connection times out' or 'address not found'. IE wont even connect.

Other members have suggested a conflicted with antivirus, firewall etc but i'm not sure how to go about it. If ever there was a pain in the hoop... this be it!

Thanks in advance guys :)

Try this. go to the Control Panel and double click on the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard" and follow the instruction from there.

Hi, lets try this. I hope you have 2 computers. You have to check the ip address of both computers.

click START, then click RUN, you will see an open field below, type cmd in the filed, it will take you to the black screen(thats the dos window)

in the black screen type ipconfig , then hit enter, look for the ip address

do this with the other computer. the ip address should be in the same range. we will take it from there if you are still having problem
