Hi there,

XP SP3 IE7 7.0.5730.13
I run wireless networks in three places, and in one of them, where
previously I was able to connect, I am no longer able to do so.
- it connects - says 'connected to ...' but I cannot get onto email or web.
- new connections (on other machines) that I set up work no problem
- at the other 2 locations i have no issues
- other users that have also been able to get on for some time are also
recently unable to do so
- have done Repair, etc., has no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Arthur

Can you ping the gateway? Can you ping a public IP address? Posting the
result of ipconfig /all here may help.

You did not indicated what type of network it is and how the log on goes.
Might be that some changes occurred in the Network.
