Like the title suggests, I cannot access the internet at all on my other laptop.

It's receiving full signal strength from the wireless router and under activity it says that packets are being sent but none are being received.

I changed wifi cards and it still wouldn't connect. I also tried to access another network and that didn't work as well.

It always says the same thing-"limited or no connectivity."

I've re-entered the network key and it says it connects, one of those bubbles pops up and says "excellent connection" yet still there's nothing.

Any suggestions?

1. Click Start, click Run, type "ncpa.cpl" (without the quotation marks) and press Enter.

2. Right-click the connection with an overlaid yellow symbol and click Properties.

3. Click on the "General" tab, highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", and click Properties.

4. Click on the "Alternative Configuration" tab, select the "User configured" radio box.

5. Type 192.168.0.2 in the "IP Address" field.

6. Type 255.255.255.0 in the "Subnet mask" field.

Post back if you still have problems.

i tried it but it didn't work. What I ended up doing was download winsockfix onto my jump drive on my other comp, transferring it to my bad laptap, then run it. It worked perfectly!!

Thank you for the help though! :tazz:
