WiFi and USB internet access on netbook

Purchased a netbook mini so I could check emails and do remote access to my quickbooks while traveling.  While on the road I was unable to use the hotel wifi nor the USB wired connection.  I am new to wifi.  Not much detail in documentation on setting up wifi.  But was getting 'unable to display page. firewalled'.  Any help out there!!

I'm having a similar problem. I can connect to my home network, but when I go to a hotspot, like Panera Bread, my netbook doesn't recognize the wireless network there...it's frustrating, because I bought my netbook for the same reasons you did. Hope someone knows the answer.

Hi, I have had the same problems - connected to internet via yellow ethernet cable took a week of clicking here and there to get it to work.  Wow!! Then to get it to go wireless took a further 1 and a half weeks of reading internet help forums and then it was by accident that I got it to work - did I say work? Oh yes, at home only!

The netbook finds the wireless networks and signals are all excellent but it will not connect - even tried it at my Mums with her password on her internet connection - no luck.

I never heard of a netbook that doesn't like going on the net - I saved up for three months to buy it when I could of spent it on things that my family really needed...

If there is an answer I will run around town naked!
