802.11 not connecting

[the_phantom76]

hey everyone,
I just got a dell 520MHz x51. It sees my home 802.11 network and even connects to it. but when i try to open a webpage in IE it tells me that there is no network connection.

Kindly throw some light on this problem and what i'm not doingor doing wrong.

Thanks

did you check to make sure that all of your firewalls are configured correctly - sometimes, that can be a problem.

Other than that - you could always try a soft resest. My offical aximsite motto is "if all else fails, try a soft reset... " followed by "if the soft reset fails, blame it on WM5 and dell's lack of support"

That usually works for me...
