I have a toshiba laptop with windows xp. At home I have a linksys wireless router. I am able to get online at home. When I go to Borders or any coffee house my computer
says it is connected to "borders wireless - excellent connection". When I click on Internet Explorer all I get is " page cannot be displayed"! Any ides??? Thanks!!!

Your wireless card drivers should allow you to create profiles, simply click on the wireless-internet icon in the system tray and see what options you have. If you're using Windows Zero wireless configuration you can also do it from the configuration menu
