    i´m connected but can not access the internet?
    « on: May 30, 2012, 05:04:25 PM »
    Hello, Windows XP Desktop (Dell Dimension 3000) is showing that its connected to the internet, but when I try to open Google Chrome it says: Cannot Find Server, Page can not be displayed. How do I get it to connect? I use a tp-link tl-wn722n to get my wi-fi signal, i use my aunt's wi-fi, even though it says i get good reception, I still can't access the internet.Does anyone know how to fix this? If so please let me know thanks.

    Does internet explorer work?

    Why are you using wireless on a desktop computer?

      Maybe he is saving himself from having to wire it all up.

        So it is a desktop and he can not connect. It says connected, but it does not work. This happens with wireless connections. Sometimes.

        Is he using XP? Windows 7?
        Does the wireless use WEP, WEP2 or nothing?
        Has it ever worked?  When?  Or why not?
        How far is the wireless router?

        What tool is used to setup the wireless connection?
