    My home wireless works fine on my computer, but when I go to another house and want to use their wireless, it doesn't work. At my uncle's house, it says that it is connected, but it then won't load any webpages. Now I'm back at college, and it's doing the same thing. It'll say it's conencted, but it won't load webpages.

    I have Windows XP (went back after Vista) and an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card.
