My laptop (Dell Inspiron 700m, WinXP) was previously able to access the
internet via my router (D-Link, DIR-615). After my cable internet service was
removed and then reestablished, my desktop and my roommate's laptop
are still able to access the internet via my router. My laptop can as well,
if I hook it up directly to the router via an ethernet cable. However, when
I connect to the router wirelessly from my laptop,I get confirmation of an
excellent strength connection, but I cannot actually access the internet. My
laptop can access the internet if I select a different wireless network
(i.e., my neighbors' routers). Any suggestions?

Hi
The security of the connection probably changed, and it can log any more.
Look at the proffered list and delete the old entry.

Try again and when it asks for pass phrase out it in.

Is WinXP service pack 3 installed? Are you using Intel (Pro 2200BG) software
or Windows Wireless Zero Configuration to manage your wireless connection?
Btw, I got Inspiron 700m too. I assume you are using 2200GB wifi adapter +
software.

Wired or wireless? If they connect wirelessly, were they prompted for a
passphrase?

Excellent signal strength does not necessarily mean you're connected to your
router. Were you prompted for passphrase when you connect to your wifi
router?

I'm positive that your neighbor's access point is an open connection (anyone
can connect).

Hi, Jack.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I did already try that and it didn't help.

Hi, John.

My system does have SP3 installed, and I am using the Intel software, not WWZC (as far as I can tell). and I am using the wifi adapter that you mention (2200GB wifi adapter)

I am indeed asked for a passphrase, but that still doesn't help.

You are correct about my neighbor's access point (it is an open connection).

I am positive that your neighbor's access point is an open connection (anyon

Make your ASP.NET application install it's own Database

Run ipconfig \all - most likely it will be noted that the IP address
assigned is in the "169.*.*.* range indicating Windows is assigning the
address and not DHCP via the router.

The 169..... address permits communication within the network (check TCP/IP
configuration) but not internet access.
