I have an Acer Aspire One. Just got Comcast service. The Acer will connect to the wireless internet but I can't open internet explorer to browse the internet. I've done just about everything.

    Please tell me what windows version and internet explorer version you have. Also, I need the error message or a detailed description of what happens when you try to launch IE

    Is the wireless provided by the comcast box or do you have a separate wireless router? If it's the latter, you may need to reconfigure the router for the new cable modem.

Hi wood_fami528,

If you cant open and run Internet Explorer it might be corrupted. There are some ways on how to diagnose if the Internet Explorer has been corrupted, try to use a different browser like Google chrome or Mozilla. Check if both browsers are working fine with your computer. If you can use other browser try to uninstall and reinstall the Internet Explorer. Here are the basic steps on how to reinstall it again.

1. Before you uninstall the program please make sure to download the latest Internet Explorer using a different browser.
--> you can download it here.

2. Uninstall the Internet Explorer by going to the control panel.
--> Click Start button, point to control panel, Add remove programs then click Internet Explorer then uninstall it.

3. After you uninstalled the Internet Explorer you may now restart the system.

4. Turn on the computer then install the latest Internet Explorer.

5. Restart again the computer and you should good by now.

-- if you're still experiencing the same issue, try to do a system restore.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Internet explorer cannot display webpage error on toshiba M35X-S114.

Go to Start > Search (Run in XP) and type cmd ENTER. In the command prompt type ipconfig /release ENTER. Then type ipconfig /renew ENTER. This just refreshes your IP. Test it. You should have an IP within the same scope as the others.

If not, test with cable for further testing.

My sister is visiting and when we tried to put her laptop on my internet hookup the message was displayed stating that my internet connection through comcast was unsecured. What do I do to correct this...

its letting you know that your wireless network is open and not secured. she just needs to acknowledge it and she will be able to browse the internet but it is not secured.
if you want to secure your wireless network you will need to configure it by opening internet explorer
browse to http://192.168.1.1
the default login is blank and the password is admin
click on wireless
click on wireless security and choose wpa personal
enter a passphase which you will use to join your wireless network securely on any wireless device.
your sister will need to rejoin the network once you do this and you will need to rejoin any other wireless device to join your secured wireless network.

Have inherited Acer Aspire one netbook. It says that it is now wireless connected but when i press browser nothing happens. Should this have something like internet explorer like my normal computer.

The Acer Aspire One comes with an edition of Windows 7 pre-installed. If that is the current operating system that it has now, then you should have Internet Explorer; it comes with every recent edition of Windows, and is very difficult to uninstall. To see if you have Internet Explorer (with Windows 7), open windows explorer and navigate to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\" If you do not see "Program Files (x86)", then look for just "Program Files". There should be an application called "iexplore.exe" Double click on that, and see if it opens.

How do i set up internet connection for my acer laptop after resetting to factory settings

Hi.
Check your Device Manager if your internet driver is installed. If it appears yellow (?) in the internet folder, your CD that goes with your unit can install that. If you try intalling that, open an internet explorer if it doesn't try Mozilla.
Second try to open start menu and click all connections. Click wireless portion and set to IP properties that will automatically detect IP address.
Set to enable... Then browse... Enjoy...
