I have just bought and new laptop and the wireless network is not working. I can see the entire network but it can not get to the internet. Is there a stating that I am missing or is it something more. It is using windows Vista home Premium edition and it seems like it should just work. Let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Thanx

Can you ping anything. Go do a dos prompt and type: ping yahoo.com

If you do not get a response check your windows firewall.

I can ping anything and I have checked my firewall


I have got it to work. I had to reset everything on the laptop. Power down everything including battery, reinstalled network card, and reconfigured all the settings. Do not know why it needed to be done but it seemed to have worked

Thanks for the help
