Problem with wireless internet.

MJR81 · 01-17-2009, 04:40 PM

I have no ability to use the internet when connected through wireless (network cable connection works fine). The strange thing is, my wireless card is perfectly able to connect. However, when trying to access the internet (no matter what program is used), the web site will not load. When waving my mouse over the little signal icon in the corner of my Windows screen, it indicates that the signal is strong, but the status is "Not Associated". (I have no idea what this means.)

According to checking my wireless card settings, there is no problem detected with the device. I have found the problem is not related to my firewall settings, either.

Any help figuring this out would be appreciated. Thanks.

When you view Wireless Networks.. what do you see? May be you are connecting to a SECURED network and you need a key to join in.
