KNICKSNL Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have 1 laptop and two PC's on a wireless network, the laptop and one of the PC's have a signal and can display pages from the internet, the second PC also receives a signal but will not display any pages from the internet, it continuosly says "Cannot Find Server-The Page Cannot Be Displayed". I am using a WIFI mini card on one laptop and 2 USB dongles for the PC'S. I have noticed though that in Device Manager>System Devices there is a yellow exclamation mark next to "PnP BIOS Extension" might this have anything to do with the PC in question? Any help or remedy for this problem would be greatly appreciated!Thanks Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Do you have static IP on the computer wich is not working? Im thinking you have DHCP enabled on the Router, therefor it is providing an IP address to the machines. Having the second PC with a static IP can be the reason to your problem. You would still connect to the Access Point but would not be able to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomcaT Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am assuming that you are using a router to access the internet? if so I would suggest that you also check to see if you have MAC address filtering on, if it is on... is your PCs MAC address in the list of allowed computers? if not add it to the list and then reconnect your PC to the network.

Gouki Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If it was MAC Address it would continue connecting forever. However, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomcaT Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If it was MAC Address it would continue connecting forever. However, I could be wrong.It comes up with limited connectivity, my PCs dont try to reconnect...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 When you double-click the device's properties in device manager, what are the issues? Generally an exclamation point means that there is a driver issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Roger that Tomcat. However I dont think that what it is happening with the thread starter.m3n7ot - Even if he has driver issues with other component in his PC, that would not be the reason why he can't use the Internet. (However, it would be good to have corret drivers for everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade_yaj Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 He problly has a driver issue to get a yellow question mark. that'll cause it to seem like it's connected but it's really not. I had that before where I put the wrong driver in for an older model wireless and it said it's connected but I can't recive anything on my laptop.
