We can try to isolate whether it's a problem with IE by having you download and install Mozilla Firefox and seeing if it allows you to browse the web.

You may want to check your connection settings in Internet Explorer - Tools + Internet Options + Connections. If you had any dialup settings or anything in there previously you should disable them. The other thing you can try is running the network setup wizard and telling the machine that you connect directly thru a network hub.

Report your results back here.

    Let's do this - connect your Acer directly to the hub with an ethernet cable (on the LAN port) and open IE. Do you get the internet? If so it's not an issue with the browser itself. If you connect the ethernet and still have no internet this may actually be a problem with IE. It helps us narrow it down.

    If you are having problems with the wireless adapter itself you would get an error to the effect of "limited or no connectivity" or "unable to authenticate". I'm attempting to rule out what it isn't in order to figure out what it is.

    Please post back with any additional info.

    Point of clarification - Are you talking about a USB connect device from AT&T or a standard broadband connection?

Why does the computor keep saying i m offline
"Offline" means an active network is not connected to the computer. You do not have a working internet cable or wireless connection.
It could also be (in the case of Windows) that the drivers are messed up, and that is a can of worms, especially since the most helpful things are online.
Is another computer able to use the same internet connection that you are using? This is a fix that may take a long time of questions and answers because it involves so many breakable points.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 w/ window xp. I show my wireless connection on the signal is excellent but when i click internet explorer its says its connect to internet - i dont have working offline clicked...
Try connecting to another wireless connection... if it connects to another connection and you get to the internet, then it is something with your wireless router or modem. Your PC can "see" a wireless connection, so it is NOT PC hardware.

It sounds like you can connect to the router, but cannot go through the router to get to the internet. Probably a simple issue with your modem or router. Try power cycling the modem, and power cycling the router. Then restart your PC and try connecting again.

If all that fails, try installing Mozilla Firefox and see if that will get out to the internet. It may be a problem with Internet Explorer.

ok so you are connected to the wifi network. if your wifi is broadcasting internet and you got server nt found errors, it could be a browser problem...also, are there any other computers connected in the same network that can't connect to the internet? if so, then it is a network configuration error

if it is a browser's error, misconfiguration, etc, try to check:

1. right click on the IE's icon on desktop and click properties
2. Go to Connections tab
3. Click on LAN Setting
4. Check "Automatically detect settings

Make sure also that in your browser, you did not check the "Work Offline" option. Look at it at the File menu

You need to setup cisco page, with your ISP. Your setup name and password must be same for all computers. All computers for this installation must connected by wire at the beginning. And make sure you enable the wireless options on Linksys page. READ HELP form Linksys main page.
