Perplexing Wireless Problem
I've been struggling with a problem concerning my laptop's ability to connect with the Internet through my wireless.
The laptop is an Inspiron 9300 with Windows XP Media Center Edition and Service Pack 2, and the Wireless card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Net.
My system tells me that it has a wireless connection with my Netgear router with excellent signal strength, but when I try to access the Internet through my wireless, no pages will display. I have no trouble accessing the Internet through a wired connection. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Here are the results from running an ipconfig/all command.

- You are indeed making a connection to a router, but it is impossible to tell which router you are connecting to as the 192.168.xxx.xxx could be coming from any router. Are you running any firewall software that may be blocking internet access? Can you boot to Safe Mode with Network Support and get a sucessful internet connection through wireless?Steve
- Hi..try these
- start >all prog> intel proset wireless> and if intel is managing wireless then press f10 on keyboard. and let windows manage the wireless,
- go to control panel>network connection>right click on wireless network connection click on view wireless network..(plzz skip the first step if windows is already managing the wireless)
- then connect to network and then see if it says that it is connected in that case plzz go ahead and connect theh modem to the computer and chk.. if u can go online by modem call router manufacturer if not call internet service provider.
