    Hi,

    Recently bought the vaio fw.
    Today, I brought it to school to test the internet connection.
    Never connected to the internet with my laptop before.
    My internet explorer says there is no internet connection available even if my I am connected to the wireless connection of the school with the best strenght possible.
    Tried turning the windows firewall off, but nothing.

    Anybody can help?

    Thanks

    Your school should have an IT department set up to handle student networking/wireless issues; that'd be the best place to start since it's as likely to be some special security aspect of the school network as anything to do with your system itself.
