Wireless problem?

hollisterco · 10-13-2006, 03:50 PM

I'm not sure where to put this thread.

Does anyone know why I can connect and remain connected to my university's wireless internet and I can view websites and everything but after a certain point no webpages will be able to load and I just get "Page cannot be displayed"?

My wireless connection is connected and excellent and the only thing that will still continue to work is my MSN Messenger.

I use wireless at home and don't have this problem.

Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be my firewall?

Do other people have the same issue with the wireless service? Have you talked to the campus IT folks about it?

My friends all use the wireless fine and I see other people on campus using the internet fine. I haven't consulted IT yet.

I'd talk to the IT folks, they probably have to deal with this kind of issue many times during the year.
