Getting to the Internet with Windows Vista
We just purchased a new laptop at Best Buy running Windows Vista. When we
networked with our other computers we got a good wireless connection but we can't get to the internet. ????? -- Jim F

Jim, Try and diagnose the "can't get to the internet" statement a bit please. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/05/identifying-dns-problem-in-your.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/0...m-in-your.html And take a look at the "ipconfig /all" logs from the new computer, and from at least one other computer. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/reading-ipconfig-and-diagnosing.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...iagnosing.html And if the laptop has an Ethernet connection, try using a cable to connect to the router. See what happens. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/08/solving-network-problems-tutorial.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...-tutorial.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Getting to the Internet with Windows Vista
Need more information. What router are you using? Are you talking about just
good signal strength or can you actually connect (i.e. view files) to your other PCs? Do you get an error message when the connection fails? Can you access the wireless router's setup screen from the Vista laptop? If you bypass the router and plug the Vista machine directly to the broadband modem (I'm guessing at your type of internet connection) will it connect to the internet? Is the Vista machine set to use DHCP? Does the Vista machine appear in the router's DHCP table? Have you configured the Vista machine's wireless security properly? The more you include about your enviroment, the better the chances are at solving the problem. Tim "Jim F" wrote in message ... We just purchased a new laptop at Best Buy running Windows Vista.
