My sister got a Dell Laptop for Christmas, and we have a Netgear Router that we wirelessly connect to. We have the Dell wireless card set up and everything, and we have all the network configuring done. It says Connected to my desktop computer (the one directly connected to the router) and it says excellent connection to it. When I try to go on the internet though, it comes up with page cannot be displayed. It says the LAN Connection is on, and I can't figure out what is wrong. Please help.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Need Help with Dell Laptop
I ment is it wirelessly connected straight to the router or is it wirelessly connected to the other computer? It has to be wirelessly/wirely connected to the router that is going to the internet.Originally posted by emcckyComment

After it's all set up, restart everything. Restarting everything solves everything....sometimes.So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(
In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.
So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.
Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =OComment

It might be the laptops inner parts... or it has a virus from it that somebody put on before you got it?Comment
