I cannot connect to the internet. I've had my Acer Aspire One netbook for about a year and this has never been a problem before. Then for some reason this morning, it just decided to stop connecting to the internet. It said it the signal strength was 'excellent' but the status was 'limited or no connectivity'. I think it's important to mention that there are two other laptops in the house which haven't had any problems at all connecting to the internet. I haven't downloaded anything and I wasn't on any websites that I don't use regularly, plus I also had anti-virus protection so I don't think it was a virus. Anyway, after trying most of the day to get a connection with no luck, I decided to restore the factory settings. This hasn't helped- I still got the same message. I fiddled around a bit with thesettings by following other posts with the same problem (such as trying start, run, 'cmd', enter, congigip /renew and other various tips) but the only development I've made is that it now says 'Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected'. However, when I click on Internet Explorer, it just says 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. I've made sure the 'work offline' is unticked and also that in internet options, under the connections tab, LAN settings is set to Automatically Detect Settings. I have no idea what to donext. I'm a dummy when it comes to anything technical but would be grateful for any help you can give me- although please put it in terms that someone with basic computer knowledge would understand so that I can follow it. Please help before I tear my hair out!!!

With internet explorer open go to tools/internet options. Select the connections tab and then click on setup button.

Try this. go to firewall. click on exception, and then click "secure socket tunneling" this should solve the problem. If it did not work the first time unclick it again. re start computer, and re do the exception thing.

Most Acers use an IPN2220 Wireless card. If yours does and your router is using WPA or WPA2 (TKIP or AES) security then you'll need to update the driver by searching for it manually using the Custom button (Hardware) in Windows update (instead of Express). This driver is not part of XP service pack 2 or 3. In my experience if you don't update to the newest common form of home wireless security (WPA2 AES) then the older formats seem to become unreliable

I will be amazed if this review meets the public eye before it is skimmed out of the pile but know that it is the honest truth...
I bought an Acer netbook last week, could get wireless connection but was unable to surf the web. I called customer support and they insisted that I would have to purchase technical support which would essentially cost another $200.
I decided to take the computer(my fathers christmas gift) back to try another one because the additional $200 was over my budget. After I exchanged the laptop for another computer to only come to face with the same problem, I was assured that if I purchased the support that a technition would be able to resolve the matter.
After over 3 hours they were unable to resolve the matter and told me that there was nothing further that they could do. I filed a claim for a refund on the technical support and was (VERY RUDELY I MIGHT ADD) denied. I'm really not sure which is worse, the customer support or the product. After my experiences not only would I not recommend purchase, I would strongly advise against it. I hope this review helps someone before they make the same mistakes that I did.
