Online

Dell my daughter has Windows Vista.  Computer shows that it is online, it's our home network.  All other computers in the House are working well.  Opening Explorer or Firefox there is no internet access even if the computer says I am connected online saying "internet explore cannot display the webpage".  I can down load AVG updated and made a scan.  Updates to widows do not seem to download.  Can you give me some ideas?  Thank you!

Hello

A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the wireless router. (WIFI hotspot).

Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

Stack TCP/IP (network IP number) of work should look like.

Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

The physical address is MAC of the card number.

The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

* Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

* Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.
