First off, thanks for reading this.
I set up a new wireless connection yesterday for a newly bought laptop. As of last night, everything was fine with both the laptop and the wireless connection. Last thing I did last night before turning in for the evening was a bunch of Windows updates. This afternoon, I booted up the laptop. I was unable to access the web via either IE or Firefox. I am in fact connected to my wireless transmitter with an excellent signal strength. I have made sure that both the McAfee and Windows firewalls were turned off to see if they were the cause of the issue. No dice. I still could not get a browser to connect to the web. My OS on the laptop is Vista Home Premium. Any suggestions? ** Edit - I just attempted to update McAfee to see if it would connect. It did, as I got the notification that there were no updates available at this time. Seems to just be an issue with browsers. ** - Doug |

Do they have the same problem? If not, compare the logs from "ipconfig /all". http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/reading-ipconfig-and-diagnosing.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...iagnosing.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
