Can't connect to the internet...

ihavedoneit

Hello All,

I have a Samsung NC10 netbook. I use it at home on a wireless connection every day - no problems. I also used to use it at my brother's house - wifi connection, again, no problems. I would take the netbook between to the two homes accessing the internet without issue. The other day I could no longer connect to my brother's connection. His settings are the same and I know this for definite as I also use an Ipod touch and that still connects.

Any ideas why, or more to the point, how I can connect again ? The netbook must be fine as I still connect at home. I.e. network card (?) is working and switched on. I have tried the "repair connection" and it takes ages but then doesn't connect. Unfortunately I am now at home so can't recall the exact messages displayed when trying to connect.

Help ! Thank you.

restart his router next time you are over there , turn off the power and leave it for a few minutes then turn back on and laptop will probably connect

Thanks for the speedy reply. I will give that a go. Will that lose the settings on the router ? I don't want to mess things up for my brother's computer etc.

If that fails - any other suggestions I could try ?

Thanks again.
