Acer aspire 5610 2328 won't connect to internet

skjhlkj · 10-09-2008, 05:13 PM

Hi,

I bought an Acer aspire 5610-2328 laptop with intel pentium dual core processor t2060 (1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB l2 cache)
802.11b/g wireless LAN. And IT WON"T CONNECT to internet no matter what.
windows Vista.

The laptop connects just fine to the internet in the first two month. Than suddenly, I got nothing. It won't connect to any wireless network or broadband. I have no idea what's going on.
The warning sign says "cannot communicate with DNS server"
Also, when I check the network stuff. It would say,
"This computer"--------"what every network"-----x----Internet.
Clearly, my laptop can connect to the wireless network just fine, but it won't connect to the internet.

I'm certain that this is not a password or access issue. I bought the laptop for almost a year now, but because of this internet issue, I haven't use it for 8 months.
Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

As you haven't used it for eight months the data on it cannot be very important, therefore why not do a clean install of XP?
