I have a Aspire one ZG5 that has a and whilst it connects when I’m away relatively easily, I just CAN’T get it to connect wirelessly at home, yet everything else connects to my router without a problem. The router is a Belkin N Wireless model FSD 8638 – 4 –V2.
The netbook see the wifi network, I put in the password and it seems to connect – in fact it says connected, with excellent strength yet it just won’t connect to the internet.
If I try to send and receive message via live mail I get the error message: The host 'pop.tiscali.co.uk' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: '1 TISCALI', Server: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
If I try to connect to a browser (any one) I get the message “no internet connection”
When I look at the connection status it will show something like 75 packets sent, 10 received.
The internal wifi modem is Atheros Ar5007eg Wireless Network and the netbook is running WINDOWS XP Home SERVICE PACK 3.
I have taken screen shots of every error message I can, as well as converting he diagnostic check to images (all 40+ pages of it) on Photobucket

Should I try getting a wifi dongle and see if I can get connected via that?
HELP!!!
