    Ok, I have recieved a Dell inspiron b120. This laptop says that it is connected to my wifi, but whenever I try to access the internet, it says that the webpage cannot be displayed. I tried to uninstall old outdated mcafee virus protection and that didn't work. I am not sure what the problem is...can anyone help?

    Check in Control Panel/ Networking Center- click on the connection and on the "details".
    See if you get a gateway address, DNS address and DHCP address (in most cases it should be the same one- the address of your router).
