Cannot connect to wireless internet

Bit more info wouldn't go a miss lol Try re booting your modem or use a Ethernet cable to see if you can connect that way

It sounds like a problem I had. While traveling, my laptop connected with a WIFI network with the same name as my home network.It was my son's. He gave me his password and I entered it on both my machine and my wife's. When I got home I had the same problem. I tried everything including re-installing the WIreless drivers a few times. I could cable connect but every time I tried wireless, it told me to enter a password then came back with "SORRY CHARLIE"
Called my son and he said probably the wireless password was written to my registry and my laptop was telling me to give the password. As my router was expecting a different password it wouldn't connect. The cable connection did not check the registry since it uses a different driver set.
The registry entry for the router password must be deleted. The only way I knew how was to re-install my operating system. This is throwing the baby with the bathwater. I am sure someone out there knows how to find and erase a Register entry.

try to reinstall your wifi software.,, here's a list of acer aspire model and driver..,, you didn't put your acer model,, try to search it for your self

Sometimes the wireless receiver can only connect with the signal in a location where the signal is strongest, in your own house, for example. If you carry the pc outside or elsewhere, it might not be able to connect because other wireless networks will not allow you to pirate their connection. Usually these require a password to logon. There is nothing really wrong with your pc. If you don't like this, you could try searching for an updated driver for your wireless card.

do u hav a internet connection in your home like verizon,,comcast,,sprint,,att,,etc,,after tat u need to set up the router along with ur wireless adaptor

Do you use "Acer Tech - Empowering Technology Framework"? that includes "eNet" management??

If so, uninstall eNet, and your internet should be ok.

the freeze up problem is due to the limited HHD space or memories. please check your HHD and see how much free sapce you have, and check your memories. the base system came with 256MB, which is too little for anything to work porperly. for you to connected to teh wireless, you should have minimum 1GB of memories. some people may disagree with me, but that is what I found to work better, if you have more than required memories.

So u can connect to the router, but you arent allowet to access the internet?
The router gave your dell a new ip-number, but it dident gave you access to the net. You ned to do the settings in your router manual, let the router give your dell full access.

Good luck

Clearly, ATT would rather we get a new modem with their software, so they have more control over what we do with it.

However, I just discovered the following way to get connected:

In the Cingular Communication Manager
1. click Ok to the error message.
2. click Connections/Edit Connection Profiles.
3. highlight your EDGE/3G connection and click "Connect", and you will connect bypassing the error message (this must be a bug).
4. live with it.

You need to reinstall the wireless driver for your model laptop which you can find at the hp/compaq website. Just click on the link for support and provide information on the model of your laptop and you will be redirected to the proper web page that contains all the drivers for your particular laptop. I did this when my internal wifi did not respond when I pressed the wifi button. After installing the driver everything worked great.
