Wireless not working on only 1 computer

shoeman1 · 02-11-2008, 09:40 PM

Hello, my house is set-up wirelessly and one of our laptops, along with the desktop, are connected to the internet and working fine. My dell, however, which I just got fixed, is not working wirelessly. When wireless, it says that it IS connected and has full connection, but it won't load a page. It does work, however, when I plug it in using an ethernet cable.

does it say limited or no connectivity when you connected it wirelessly?

No, it says excellent strength connected through our wireless network "ellie"

Have you deleted all the stored wireless profiles and tried a fresh connection?

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
