Having some problems with my new laptop's wireless connection to my FSG3-WLAN router
LAN access is fine and very speedy, but very few internet pages load (403/404 errors !).......if I plug an ethernet cable in, however, absolutely fine !
Laptop is a hp TX1138ea, which uses a funky Broadcom a/b/g/draft-n wireless chip........seems to make no difference if I disable firewall on laptop (which runs Vista Home Premium), or remove encryption on the wifi network......
Another laptop we have connects fine and can surf the internet flawlessly over the same wireless network, as can my main PC with integrated (ASUS P5WDH) wifi onboard........
Any thoughts ? I am thinking this is maybe DNS issue ? LAN is fine (and speedy, it has to be said, on the new laptop) but internet essentially does not work ! Vista's Networking blah, blah Centre suggests the Internet is there, the network map shows as much and the connectivity icon shows the internet 'globe' but virtually no page will load (e.g bbc, msn etc.)
Interestingly, I have tried turning off wireless on the FSG and using the wireless on my desktop (P5WDH mentioned earlier) as an AP to the wired network and the laptop can surf freely !! Why is this ?!
Help !
