Default Connected to network but not internet


Hello,
I been reading the other threads about those who is having this problem
too.
I tried to fix it with their suggestions, but none seems to work.
I just got my HP Pavilion dv2068ca yesterday.
I tried to connect through to internet.
It was able to connects to my network, but not able to connect to the
internet.
It also says my network is "Unidentified Network"
It gave me options to diagnose and repair, however it did not help.

My laptop connect through 802.11 b/g WLAN
My wireless router is a D-LINK 802,11g 2.4GHZ

If someone can help me, please reply!
Also if anyone need more info about my connection in order to help with
this problem,
please ask!
Thank you
Bobo.

Default Connected to network but not internet

Could you try this:

Pull the power plug out of the router, hold it in your hand for 60 seconds
and put it back. It will reset the router.

It is a simple, simple, simple thing we all too often forget. I recently
lost my Internet connection and called Comcast and a guy walked me thru for
15 min, himself acting like an idiot, pinging the modem, resetting
something, downloading software and finally he asked me if there was a
button on the modem to reset it. I looked at the modem and saw no button. At
that very moment it dawned on me that I had done it at least a hundred times
before. I said: let me just power it off, he said: OK. I did it and lo and
behold the home page was back, my IP phone started working.

Hello,
I just went and unplug my modem and put it back on.
Now my network says my network name instead of "Unidentified Network"
However, it still is not connecting to internet, it have a red cross in
the picture .
I also went to my friend's house to test the internet and it work.
So it must be a problem with my router!
Thank you

I do not think it is a problem with your router. I am having the same
problem too. I decided to turn off the security function of the router and
make it an unsecure network and it worked fine. Then when I establish a
secure network I get the same red x to the internet you are getting. So if
anyone else out there has a solution for wireless conections for VISTA using
LINKSYS Router (WRT300N) it would be apreciated.

Maybe the linksys has a driver for Vista. Now since they've been bought by
Cisco, perhaps they are more responsive. Go to their website and check.

Hello.
Thanks for the reply.

I reset my router and configure it to without security function,
but it still does not connect to internet.
I also check D-link site to update, does not help either.
Could it be my router? Too old? Got like 2 years ago.
I currently use a D-Link Dl-524 Revision E 802.11g / 2.4 GHz

Thank you
Bobo

This probably would be my last hunch. What else could it be? I am trying to
remember my personal experience with D-Link, Linksys and Netgear routers. I
do not do wireless anymore for security reasons. It is my vague recollection
that D-Link was the worst although I cannot be that certain.

I recently bought Belkin 5-Port USB PCI card. Against all expectations it
fit into the machine, installed itself and now I have my all USB ports
available first time in so many years.

I don' know but perhaps you could just borrow another router from a friend.
Some people have excess of them since they are so cheep and try it.

Hello,

After resseting few more times and updated driver.
It now says Limited Connectivity or Local Only.
It also reads my network name. With a picture of a house.
However, still that little red "X" to connect to internet.
Hope this will help out.

It all depends on which type of (ISP) you are using. All of the Internets are
upgrading their own product to be compatible with Vista. Contact your
internet provider and let them know that you are now running Vista. Or if you
need internet access quickly, use Windows Live Messenger or Windows email.
You can create a hotmail account swiftly & easily. I needed to download the
latest version of AOL Vista Ready , or AOL VR, to get my AOL back. And, I
still have my hotmail acoount.

Hello

Hmmm, I do not think it has to do with my ISP.
Because I am useing the same ISP and same router to connect to the
internet with my XP desktop via wireless.
I have no idea why my vista laptop cannot connect to it.
Could it be the router or vista itself?! =/
If it does not work soon, I guess I have to refund the laptop !

Thank you too all !!
Bobo
