Solve : Laptop will not connect to the internet?

Answer»

I have a T61 Lenovo Thinkpad which will not connect to the internet wirelessly. I have also tryed to plug it in via land line and it does nothing. When I attempt to use the wizard to create a new internet connection it does not do anything. Also it does not show wireless internet connections in the connect to link in the start menu. Any ideas of how to fix this/ what could be CAUSING this?

The COMPUTER runs Microsoft XP Proffesional, Service Pack 3.Has it ever been able to connect to the internet? If yes then what has CHANGED? Have you contacted your ISP? Have you contacted the manufacturer of the wireless router? truenorthIt did in the past but that was about a year and a half ago. Then it went through alot of trouble with viruses and such. But now the viruses have been removed and it works for the most part fine. I have not contacted either of them yet. I know its not the router though because I have two desktops on it right now.When i referred to the "router" i was specifically referring to the one connected to the laptop. It could be an internal one or i could be an external. That one is unique to the laptop and could be the source of the problem.truenorthThe laptop has an internal router.Quote from: truenorth on June 24, 2010, 08:06:24 AM

You can get a laptop with an "Internal Router"?I'm guessing he's confusing "router" with "wireless adapter"Yeah that is what I was thinking two but with the way things change now a days you never know what will be out next.Yes Allan is correct--wireless adapter. The o/p if he has access might be wise to try an external and SEE what transpires. As for the moment that is my principal area of concern given his inability to connect. truenorthThats what I thought you meant by router. I dont personally have an external one but I might be able to get access to one.
