that means you are connected (unless you have just plugged the ethernet cable in)

next try,

start
run
cmd

ping www.google.com

if that doesn't work

ping 66.249.91.103

if they both work, try IE

google was an unknown host
66.249.91.103 request timed out 4 times...
was 4 packets sent, 0 received, 4 lost.

Does it work if you temporarily disable encryption in the router?

If the laptop is wireless already, then simply turning it on it will spot the wireless network and (XP) you will get a little box pop up when you turn it on to say wireless networks detected.

Quickly click that and a bigger box pops up and you will see your wireless network.

Click to connect. And if the router is encrypted you will be asked for the password. If it isn't encrypted (open to the whole world and his dog to use) then you'll just be on the internet straight away.

i tried this and i still can not get on the net !!!
please someone help me !!!!:mad:
