one comp unable to browse net despite being connected... wireless net

[roisin94]

i have to admit i have no idea what i am doing so desperately need some help
we have recently got the net installed and bought a wireless router.
my computer (fairly new) worked first time all good!
my friends comp (about 5 yrs old) wasn;t wireless enabled but we bought a usb adaptor and now its working fine

v impressed at myself for working it out

but now we have a problem...a third flatmate with an inspiron 6000 wireless enabled comp has come back after easter and is unable to browse the web. she can connect but when IE or mozilla are opened the error window comes up.
i have tried disabling firewall settings, updating windows XP from a link on microsoft.com and a variety of resetting options but can;t think of what else to do


please help

simple try this


depending on what router u have
go into the settings page 192.168.1.1
or whatever the address is


if this works then u definetly know that u are connected
keep hovering around the different settins pages specially the internet/dsl ones.


now while u do this open another internet browser and keep trying to go to a website!

this normally does it for me
