Good Wireless connection; no internet

[tmallah]

hello,

I have a Dell Precision M60 with win XP SP2. It connects to wireless networks; but IE can not connect to the internet. It has a "good" connection. TCP/IP settings are set to automatic. It works flawlessly when plugged directly into the network via ethernet cable.

My other wireless computers connect easily to the internet. I have exhausted my knowledge.

Any suggestions?

If wired connections work normally, then I'd suspect a firewall. The only other thing would be that this computer may be connecting to someone else's wireless, I've seen that happen before.

Can you ping other computers by name on your network when this computer is connected wirelessly?

When connected wirelessly, please post this.

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