I get diagnostic page when connecting to wireless

[Jeffwo]

We have wireless at my church and I used to be able to connect to it no problem.

But, now, when I go to connect to that profile on my laptop (same laptop I was using before) it gives me the message at bottom that it is connected at good speed but it only will open a diagnostic page, no webpages.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Jeff

A diagnostic page for what? The router, your wireless card, something else?

I will have to go back and look at it again tonight. Seems like its from the router but w.o. having it in front of me I can't remember.

Do you have a valid Network Connection (Run IPconfig.exe in a CMD box)?

Whoever wrote that can't speak good english (What shell I do?)
and I can't seem to find my answer there.

I did notice that it says...

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.

I suspect that is what my problem is. I don't actually have a connection to the internet.

Are you sure their internet connection is actually operational? Even if it isnt you will still get signal and still get an IP.
