    Hi everyone.
    I have a Toshiba laptop here that connects to my wireless network and receives email through aol, but when trying to view web pages in either AOL or IE, I just get that the "address is not valid" messages.
    Any ideas?

    Probably, DNS isn't working

    Try adding manual DNS info to the adapter as a test and see if it works
