Its kind of my mother-in-law's laptop running Vista...
And they're ISP is BT, with one of those fancy wireless routers. Not that it matters because I get the same problem on my wireless router too.
The thing is it used to work fine. Then the next day it stopped working. The laptop finds the router, with excellent signal. But it wont access the Internet. My brother's laptop works fine...
Check this out though. I logged into my router and checked the connected devices and it only shows my computer as a connected device and not the laptop, even though the laptop shows its hooked up to the wireless network. BTW my computer is hard-wired to the router. But again this doesn't matter because my brother can 'wifi' with his laptop.
The laptop shows 'Unidentifed Network' and 'Local Only' in the Network and Sharing Center. I guess it should be showing the 'name of the network' and 'Local and Internet'.
I've searched around a bit and found that this is a common problem with a few fixes. But i've had no luck.
So any help you provide, that works, will be rewarded!
