Hello, so the other day i try to connect my laptop to my friend's router at her house and at first i couldn't get pass the passphrase part. her passphrase is adang008 but the computer said it was wep key type so i try a wep key generator on google. the wep key generator work , i got in the network but i cannot go on the internet. its like im connect to the network but not the internet so it just said limited connectivity with an excellent signal strength. her laptop's wireless internet works fine though. and then i accidently "unsave" the network from her laptop and when i try to connect it back in, it has the same problem as mine! its like her connection works fine until i undo the connect automaticly option to her network. i think its the passphrase i entered but i have no idea what im doing. i'm so worry because now she can't go on her own internet and she told me that setting up the passphrase thing cost money, does it? and PLEASE help me solve this problem, any help is fine. thank you!
solutions i've try:
system restore
unplug the router, and plug it back it
click diagnose the connection

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi,
go to file, and untick Work Offline.
then it should be working fine.
or if still it does not work, then it means that you have entered the wrong password for the connection.

Yes, i think i entered the wrong password too but somehow it didn't tell me it was wrong. im sure it was the right password because it still let me in. i've also tried all the wep key form is there anyother way to check the password?

Go to "manage WIRELESS networks" in network and sharing

delete the wireless connection made to the router - this will trick your machine into thinking its never connected to the network

go to "manage networks connections" and right click on wireless

connect to chosen network and check "display characters" you can then see what your entering to cross reference with the wireless key.

that should then connect - if not, reset the router (pin hole in the back until lights change)

follow same process - you wull need to reconfigure router with your adsl UN +PW
