I have read so many posts on this topic that I’m going cross-eyed lol.
I know that my problem is a simple setting fix, but all of the posts I have read are making mountains out of mole hills.
I have a Dell laptop and the wireless connection on the laptop is in working order and the router is in working order – no hardware problems here for sure.
My scenario is this: Laptop connected to an unsecured wireless connection in location A with no problems. Moved laptop to location B and setup a new internet connection that is a secured connection (with a WEP key). Moved laptop back to location A (with unsecured wireless connection) and now it will not connect to the wireless. It connects completely fine with the wired connection.
I have messed with the Proxy settings, I’ve released, flushed and renewed the ip address, I’ve tried to “repair” the connection, my ip pings just fine, I can access the other computers on the local network just fine, other laptops in this location can access the internet with a wireless connection no problem.
I know that it is just some simple, silly little setting on my laptop that will be different because of the secured connection I setup in location B – but I can’t find it.
If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.
Just to repeat for the record… I know without question that there are NO hardware problems – everything works just fine from every other possible angle other than MY laptop connecting to the internet with THIS wireless connection.
Thanks in advance!
