OK real mystery this one ...... I have a laptop ... had been working kind of OK but not great with frequent dropped connection

but lately cant access internet at all wirelessly although it says I am connected to internet which I must be because I can ping yahoo etc and can send and receive emails. also can use network printer OK

tried safari and firefox ... same problem so doesn't look like it is IE

this would seems to be confirmed because if you connect to router directly with wire everything works fine

final diagnostic ... a different laptop connects and runs fine wirelessly

tried belkin technical support - helpful but no cigar

any ideas?

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

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

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

And also this.

Try these simple tests.

If all the pings worked, you have Internet connectivity with the wireless.

Sounds like it could be a firewall...
