[SOLVED] Connecting to the internet help
Hi, my laptop has recent been having trouble connecting to the internet. I thought it was my router but it isn't as my ps3 and brothers laptop work perfectly fine with the internet. I'm positive it's a problem with my laptop and since i'm not very educated on the subject i'll describe what I see/know:
When I boot my laptop up I try to connect to the internet and it gives me no option to connect to it, I tried manualy connecting, no luck. I've tried most obvious things and have confirmed that it's my laptop. Anyway help would be apreciated. Thanks

Re: Connecting to the internet help
The model is a Toshiba Eqium.
I did the above and nothing seemed to help but I am not sure if you know what my problem is. Basicly my Laptop isn't detecting the router it's detecting every other one it can except mine. I tried manualy conecting to it and I get this message saying "This network exists, Connect to it?" I try to click it and it brings up the list of routers and mine isn't there. It's simply not connecting to it because it can't find it. I've tried going closer to the router or moving different places, not helping. Thanks anyway.whats the make and model of the PC

Re: Connecting to the internet help
all those test show a good connection to the internet - how is that connected - by cable or wireless ?
can you also post the ipconfig /all
so something is blocking you access the internet from browser on the PC - could be a firewall setting -
have you had or have on the PC, Norton, Mcafee etc ?
also check the internet options for a proxy server
Remove any proxy settings
Check your browser's settings, remove or uncheck any proxy settings if found

Re: Connecting to the internet help
If above suggestion didn't work pls remove your current wireless profiles then re-add it again. Make sure that you type in the correct network encryption.
Removing an existing wireless "profile"
You may also remove your network security from the router and see if you're able to connect or try WEP Security.

excellent - thanks for letting us know
You can mark the thread solved - from the dropdown " thread tools" at the top of the page - choose "Mark Solved"
just for completeness - you may want to post an xirrus sreen shot and we can then see if there's likely to be any further interference and advise on a channel - wireless channels do overlap each other
