Hi
I have an ongoing problem with my laptop. I use my laptop with my home wirless router/internet via landline, no problems at all
But, if i try to use it elsewhere, e.g. airport, hotel room etc, I cannot. I can view available networks, and make connections. Signal strength is often excellent. But, I cannot browse with either firefox or internet explorer
I have tried repairing connection along with lots of other stuff. Turning on and off firewalls has been tried
So, considering the fact that i appear to be connected, apart from being able to browse, i recently tried to make a Skype call, and it worked perfectly!! So, then i tried the browsers again to no avail
This is really frustrating!!! I have tried to change internet options on both browsers to have it ‘automatically detects settings’ and so forth…. no good
So now i am back home again and browsing as normal! It beggars belief. It annoys me because I need the connection. It is a good toshiba laptop and this is my only problem
Please help, I cant imagine this is totally uncommon.
Oh and yes, in all the places i cannot browse, I can use skype, and others around me have been successful in browsing with their laptops. So its not a connections issue per say, just cant browse.
I used an ethernet cable at the last hotel and that was fine, but this facility is not always available, certainly not in airports
Thanks in advance for your help
Jason
