My Compaq laptop will not connect to internet via new wireless connections. It will connect to the wireless network, but has only local access. It can connect to the internet thru pre-existing (saved) networks but not newly found ones. If I start the laptop with Windows 7 Operating System it works just fine. But if I am running the Windows XP Pro OS it will not connect to the internet (only local access) I guess it is some setting that got changed, am not sure how, but have run out of ideas as to what to look for. I know enough about computers to be dangerous and have set up home networks and such, but to trouble shoot deep into the mess I am unsure what to look for and if I see the trouble, may not know it. Any ideas as to where to look and what to look for?
Thanks in advance.
