[access-uk] In Reply To: [access-uk] Wireless Routers and Connecting to the Internet

Hi Darran

This may seem an obvious and, perhaps, stupid question, but does your sister 
have the LAN selector switched to the on position?

Cheers

Shane

Hi List.

This is a question on behalf of my sister who's having connection 
difficulties with her new wireless laptop setup. so you'll have to excuse me 
if my description of the problem is a bit patchy.

The router is all set up, and the laptop and it seem to be wirelessly 
linked, but when she tries to connect to the internet nothing happens. Its 
as if the router isn't allowing for any outgoing connections.

Now, as I say, I don't use wireless at all, so if I'm making no sense here 
in what I'm trying to describe, please excuse me!

From what I can gather, the only directions my sister has so far found to 
resolve the problem all relate to folks using XP, and she's using Vista.

So, we'd appreciate any help from listers who may know what's going on, and 
of course, how to fix it.

Many thanks.

Darran
