Hi Guys
Looking for some advice
Ive just got a new laptop and Ive got it to find my wireless home network and it says that the signal strength is excellent. However, it also says limited or no connectivity and I can't therefore get on the internet.
It does find other wireless networks when I am out and about. I also have another older laptop which is finding the wireless network at home.
Any pearls of wisdom anyone?!

I know my router does that when I add a PC that isn't in my allowed MAC address filter. It allows a wireless connection to the router but won't exchange any data, saying it has limited conectivity. Have a look to see if you have a filter enabled and if it is, does it have the laptop's MAC in it.

Also could we have a bit more to go on - make and model of router

Try This.

START > CONNECT TO > SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS

Right click on the wirelesss connection

click properties

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties

Click both ip and dns to obtain automaticlly. :thumbsup:

Hi
Thanks for the advice guys - ended up having to do a system reset but got it up and working!

make sure to use WPA security if available, it's a lot more secure than WEP.
