Hallo all,

my problem is that I have a good wifi signal as indicated by two different wifi adaptors (Using inSSIDer) but am unable to connect to the net neither FF or IE or thunderbird make contact.I suspect that I have a damaged or missing process for wifi-internet because I can internet using my wired lan.Any suggestions where I should look,I am no "geek"but an experienced user,I also have process explorer to see the "visible" processes but don't what all of them are.

brian

PS I have seen many such reports on google but no solutions generally.

I forgot to say I temporarily disabled firewall and antivirus to no avail.

What is your network setup like? Do you have an IP address on your wireless nic?

I am using DHCP and have tried the usual release reconnect cmd's check using IPcfg ,it shows DHCPis working

I normally use a DWA-140 of Dlink and that says connected to my network,so it is connected but inoperative.

Did you tried to ping google ?

ping www.google.com

if it works, try resetting your internet settings like proxy if you need one.

If it doesn't work try a ping of its ip:

ping 209.85.147.106

if it works then you have a dns problem.

If it doesn't work either try ping your dhcp server taken from ipconfig /all.

If the last one is the only one to work then you didn't configure correctly your router and it doesn't send to the computer with dhcp the right settings.

Also if you're using the same computer to test wired and wireless network try disabling the lan network connection before connecting to internet.
