Another IE / Wireless issue

Options
I'm sat downstairs and am surfing the net wirelessly.

Daughter is sat in another room and unable to get any websites up, they are all unabailable:confused:

But she is connected to the same wireless router as me, as has a better signal strength as well. We have rebooted, pop her card out, re-connected to the router.

I have now run out of ideas.

Anyone got any:confused: She's off to bed, so no rush:D

  • can she ping the router?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • stupidly, right click on the wirless connection icon in the task bar and click the support tab and then the reapair button. this somtimes helps

    also what is the ip address in the support tab of that window?

    the repair disables and re-enables teh connection between your daughters laptop and the router and clears caches etc., the fact that you are browsing fine suggests the problem lies with her connection

    has she changed firewall software or settings recently, if you can't connect to the router then at least youcan disable firewalls (potentially isolate your router from net connection first) then work through each step until you find a blockage
