I have had everything working fine with my wireless network. We have three pcs, and three laptops all have been able to get to the network and on the internet. Yesterday my newest laptop (with vista), was connected to the network but would not get on the internet. it had an X in the network settings from the line to the network name to the internet icon. However, it says it is connected to my network on the icon, full strength. I did not change any settings on the laptop, internet just stopped working.

my cousin turned his laptop on (windows 98 i think), and his isnt' working either. ?? but i am on a laptop right now, that is picking up from the same network. ??? what could of happened. what could be the problem??? cant' be the router if this laptop is working fine, right?

thanks for any help!!!!!
 
Ok, the Wireless seems to work I can see in the Wireless application that there is a signal, and an available Wireless source but I can not use the Internet.

Seeing signal in the Wireless configuration application, or reading somewhere in the system that you are connected, does not mean that you actually have a functional Wireless connection.

If you can use the Internet with your Wireless Computer, the Wireless connection is OK. If you do not have an Internet connection available (or the connection does not work) a simple way to ascertain that you have a basic Wireless connection is to try to use the Internet Browser in a Wireless Client computer and find out if you can connect to the Router's (Access Point) Menus (see your hardware manual for the Router's IP Address, the login name and the password).

This seems to be my situation, but i don't understand what that bold part means.... if i have another wireless laptop that is working fine, then it's not my router is it? what does it mean by wireless client computer?
