COOL

But when I went home and swapped back to dell wireless manager I had problems....
I AM CONNECTED, I can see the connection, signal strengthis excellednt ETC>

BUT

I can't access the Web..


Please help...uber confused

Had the exact same problem on an Eircom wireless network a few days ago. Full signal, indicated that I was connected, traffic seemed to be going to somewhere. No web pages would load...

It just sorted itself out after an hour or two, hasn't happened since, I hadn't changed anything. I just put it down to a network problem, etc...

(That probably doesn't help you in any way!)

Sounds like windows zero configuration service is faffing with your connection.

Turn it off with

Control Panel > Adminstrative Tools > Services

That's on Win 2k, may be different on Win XP

Two words:
Reboot.


Router.



Also, did you change anything else? Like switch from static to dhcp IP address (or vice versa?).
