Hi, the good ladys mother asked me to have a squint at her netbook as it wasnt connecting to the wireless network in her house.
I went in and found the hardware was a dlink d615 and the netbook was an acer aspire 1. The other laptops in the house were connecting to this network with no problem at all.
When i booted up the netbook it identified and connected to the correct network no problems, but internet explorer msn messenger and the widgets with news feeds etc were not getting any connectivity. Packets were recieved and sent. Checked firewall settings incase of a lockdown etc but all checked out ok.
Set my phone up as a wireless access point and connected with the netbook and it all worked great so i started looking towards the router. Connected the two together with a cable and accessd the router settings, changed the channel select to auto as it was manually on 11. Both are b/g compatible so what could be at fault? also its win xp. Thanks for any info!
