FBer Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 My friends laptop can connect using my router, he has the same wireless card and driver version.As far as I can tell, his settings are the exact same as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBer Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Ok, it seems it is a software problem as I wired my laptop to the router (this normally sorts out all connection problems), I can stilll ping and trace but not connect, I ran msn as the diagnostics on it seem ok, and it says that key ports may be at fault.

Boris Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Have you checked your firewall settings to let the browsers out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBer Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Have you checked your firewall settings to let the browsers out ?Well, I actually turned off the firewall, for a minute or two, and still nothing worked (I've tried a few programs none can connect to the internet)I should point that everything worked fine this morning.I ran a spyware scan and lots turned up, so now I'm running an AV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb2001 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 have you checked the web setup of the router, to see if you have any security on, and in case you don't just checked that the router blocks your internet, but not your local networking ?
