    Just got a Belkin N1 router and set up a wireles at home. My home built PC and my Dell Insp E1705 both connect to the router and I'm able to go on the internet, wireless print and stream music.

    My daughters laptop which is a Dell INSP 1705 connects to the router but not the internet. She is able to connect to another wireless connection we pick up and surf the net. But cannot use the internet when connected to the Belkin.

    Both laptops use the Intel pro wireless card. I think its the 3945.
    I"m using WPA security.

    I just cannot figure out why one laptop connects to the internet and one does not with the same wireless hardware and settings.


    :mad: Its driving me mad. :mad:

    Problem solved. One laptop had an older version of the Intel wireless driver.
    Updated the driver and all is working. :)
