I have been given an Anyka PC703 wireless netbook but am having difficulty with the wireless feature.
The unit can find wireless routers and says it is authenticated to them but when you attempt an internet connection all you get is “Cannot find server or DNS error”
When I go into the system I have found the following:
IP Information

The wireless says it is authenticated to the wireless router and the wireless icon on the task bar is lit but the internet icon remains crossed out.
I have tried to connect on 4 wireless networks, two WEP/WPA secured and two open and even after rechecking that all passwords/keys are entered correctly I get the same response.
We took the item back to the store who sold it and were told it connected to the internet wirelessly through their system, (although we did not witness this in operation!!) so they refused to refund/replace.
I CAN connect to the internet if I use a wired connection but that sort of defeats the idea of a wireless netbook.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
