    I am having a wifi connection problem with a cf-29. It will connect to any number of networks, school, coffee shops, ... but I can't get it to work at home. I have a net gear router which works for 3 other laptops but when i connect my cf-29, it shows i have a good network connection, but I cannot access the internet through IE or firefox. I tried resetting my router, no go. Deleting all the networks off of the 29, no go.It has a Intel PRO/wireless 2915ABG network Any ideas?

    You say you connect but can not get to the www.

    do some quick test to see where the problems lies.
    From the command line utility :

    ping 69.147.114.224 (this confirms gateway)
    ping yahoo.com (this test DNS servers)
