hello,
i have a problem with my laptop - basically it refuses to connect to my router via WiFi. On closer inspction, it manages to connect but just not to the internet - ie. "Access: Local Only". sometimes it works though, it seems to be very intemitant.
It connects to every other wi-fi perfectly. also, my iPod (by wifi) and main pc (by ethernet) connect to my router no probs.
the router is bt home hub 2.0 and laptop is dell inspiron 1520.
any ideas whether its the router or laptop?
