Iam connected to the wireless network but cant access internet

Hi,

You may need to enable your Wireless adapter. You can do this by going into Control Panel then network connections. You should see a "Wireless LAN" icon. If you right click on it you can choose enable and then you can browse available wireless networks and connect.

Let me know if you have any questions.

check if the laptop has wireless utility other than the built in windows wireless. (example intel proset wireless). if yes, uninstall the wireless utility and Update the wireless driver of your laptop by downloading the latest driver from ho web site.

ok with laptop on goto start/ all programs/ accessories/system tools/system restore/
pick earlist date follow on screen instructions
then after restart you should be able to go on internet as normal

whts the os in your computer
have u checked for the drivers, have u tried uninstalling and reinsatlling
have u tried turning off and on the wireless switch
try updating the dirvers
if any further probs pls lemme know the issue with the error code for further assistance

has it worked previously? if so system restore if availiable

you need is installed all the software drivers built in wireless lancard, first you download the installer on this web site> (http://www.acer.com) and find the compatible to windows installer and that download that follows, good luck

questions to ask yourself:
- I the wifi card connecting to the routers wifi network? or your next door neighbors?
- did it connect with the correct WEP? withouot the right WEP it will not communicatwith the WAP
- is the router set to be the DHCP server? this function is normally defaulted to ON

some times though windows simply has to have its TCP stack reset after having been connected to too many different networks, especially if you are a heavy wifi user.

open a command prompt: I see you already know how.

Type this command line

netsh int ip reset <anyfilenameyoulike>.txt
the txt file will be a log file tha will be placed on your main (c:) drive after the NETSH command has run

next lets reset winsock since we are here in the command line anyhow

netsh winsock reset

if everything goes right you'll be prompted to reboot you machine.

hopefully this will solve your inability to aquire an IP address from the router.

Hi the router has not picked up your IP address.follow this Turn off your wireless router and internet connection and your laptop aswell for 30secs .Then first turn on your internet (if seperate from the router) if not switch on the wireless router/internet hub and wait untill the lights stop flashing then switch on your laptop and that should work.

go to the Acer website and download the drivers for your make and model laptop if you do not have  teh original driver disks that came with your computer.
If the computer has a recovery partition, check and see if one of the recovery options allows you to restore drivers only.
If your acer cannot access the internet because you do not have drivers for the direct or wireless network connections, you can still access the make and model support and drivers files from the Acer web site and burn to a CDROM or save to a jump drive to install on your laptop - or you can request a driver CD for a small $$ from Acer.

I have exactly the same problem, and Aspire 5630 with an Intel Pro wireless 3954 ABG Network Connection Network Adaptor which Device manager says is hunky dory. We need to go to the Intel website to see if they have any upgrades or other solutions. Totally fried today. DONT go to Acer, they'll be useless. Google Intel.
Best, Richard
