Wireless laptop

Help!

I've bought a Compaq Presario laptop. When trying to connect to the internet through my wireless router (WRT54G) the lap top shows that its connected to my network but the internet shows that the 'page cannot be dispalyed' for any internet sites. Any ideas?

Can you get net access if you connect via a cat5 cable ?

Re: Wireless laptop

can you browse to the router's config page? http://192.168.1.1/ iirc

have you got a proxy server specified?

Thanks for the suggestions but I've now sorted the problem. For some reason the WPA Key wasn't the same as I had originally typed in (probably user error!!!!) changed it and now works fine.

Cheers.

Re: Wireless laptop

Done that before!!

Usually involves hours of head scratching and swearing before the mistake is realised!!
