Dell Inspiron e1705. I know that the wireless network works because I am using another laptop on the same network to talk to this forum. I can also connect to the network using the e1705. The issue is I cannot connect to the internet. I have restored to the original setting using the restore and have not added any software. Still cannot connect. I have also reviewed the networking posts but my guess is it is an IE issue. Any ideas?

I would probably guess firewall issue. If you have a firewall, turn it off (even XP's) and try to connect. If you are able to get I.E. to work without your firewall, then there is a setting wrong the firewall. What firewall are you using?
-
Either a firewall or router settings issue... perhaps your router is limiting you to a certain number of IP's.
However, if you really think it's an IE issue...try Mozilla Firefox. -
I have disabled windows firewall. What else is strange is that I can see the network.
-
Or in other words, have you messed with the wireless settings at all? -
What makes me think this is an IE issue is that when I refresh the explorer, I get a blank screen and the flag (top right) will not move. If I hit the home icon flag moves, then it tries to go to google.com and I get "The page cannont be displayed"

I have changed the IP address to static to try and connect with a static address. No much other than that. I have repaired, it will disconnect and then reconnect. HELP

One other thing, when I click tools then internet options it will not take me to the internet options just to a blank IE screen. Wierd huh?
-
Weird indeed.
Like I said... try Mozilla firefox; if that still doesnt work, you'll know it's a network issue. -
Have you tried other network tools and do they work ? (ie: at a command prompt type in ping www.oracle.com ) do you get a response ?
You can try a reinstall of IE maybe : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 -
Yeah, go with Firefox
( www.getfirefox.com), download it and see if that helps. This fixed one of my own issues before, but varys.
