I have wifi on my dell laptop and it shows that I am connected at excelent strength. A friend told me that it could be the wifi card. I bought an external usb wifi card and it worked great for awhile but know I am having the same problem as before. It says my external card is working and internal as well but I am unable to connect to any web site. I have tried just about everything I know to do to no avail. Everything is enabled that should be, windows is managing my zero configuration, etc. Any ideas?1 person needs an answerI do too

Paste the contents of the result into your reply. Also, what is the name of the wireless network to which you are trying to connect? Is this *your* network or someone else's? -- Lem
