Windows vista is on a laptop with built-in wifi.Wifi used to work but not anymore.
Using linksys router, the SSID, encrypt type and method and passphrase all match up when resetting up a new wifi network on laptop.
It then asks to go ahead and connect. It DOES say connected to unidentified network (linksys), but no web pages load at all. If it is hardwired, it will immediately work fine.
If this helps at all-
When mouse is moved over the wifi and lan connection icons in lower right corner of screen, the LAN(when hardwired) says -
Connected Local and Internet
But when the wifi is connected, it just says-
Connected... Local
It says nothing about internet. I don't know if that helps but there it is.
I am not familiar with vista yet so I'm stumped.
