Wireless Connection Problems
Thread Solved |
To connect to my internet, I searched for a wireless network in range, and connected to it, and it did. But then, when I try to open Internet Explorer, it either says "page cannot be displayed" or a pop-up window comes up that gives me the choice of either "connect" or "work offline". When I try to "connect," another window comes up that says "dialing..." but then can't get a signal. But I figured this is irrelevant since I am using a wireless network. What could be the problem?
What kind of Internet access to you currently use (DSL, Cable, etc.), and what device (wireless router, access point, or modem) is your computer trying to connect to?

Oh- one thing: can you please post the details of what the problem turned out to be, and how you finally resolved the issue. Having that info here could be helpful to other members in the future.
Thanks

Ok so I checked all my connections, and they all seemed to be working fine. Then I went to Wireless Network Connection properties, then went to Internet Protocol properties. There, it turned out that I had my DNS settings set to “Use the following DNS server address� instead of “Obtain DNS server address automatically�. I reset it to “Obtain DNS server address automatically� and it has been working fine ever since.
Oh, right... that'll do it.... 
Thanks for the follow-up.
