Ok - this gets kinda complicated so keep up
I have recently got a brand new high end Toshiba laptop to replace my ageing dell inspiron. However I am stealing wireless internet from somwhere in Sydney and although my old busted laptop (xp) can connect my new laptop cant (vista)
I have tried disabling the firewall and changing the setting but nothing works.
The network in question is an unsecured network but I have been using it for months on my old laptop. The new laptop claims that it can connect to the wireless network but cant connect to the internet.
When i try to diagnose the problem the computer tells me that it may be a problem with the network router but how can that be if the old laptop connects. I know my new laptop can connect to wireless internet as I have done so before with a different network.
This may be irrelevant but how can I check what network adaptors are on both computers so I can compare
Please help!!!!
Cheers

Try disconnecting it and go to the internet. After you log onto the internet, sign in to your internet connection by press %26quot;Internet Network%26quot; on the Start menu. Then refresh your internet page again.
It worked out for me [Vista], hope it works out for youWhy cant my new laptop connect to the bloody wireless internet?after you have confirmed that your Wireless capabilities is activated,
go under Control Panel, Network Connections, Create A New Connection. put down the name of the network you're using.
this is if you're using Windows.
