    My laptop and Ipod both pick up the wireless connection. It says they are both connected successfully. When i try to load up a site on firefox it says server not found , but my laptop is connected to the internet. The ipod can go on the internet no problem. Im using Windows Xp if that helps.

    Sounds like a DNS problem, iOS smart, Windows XP dumb, check your network settings on your laptop and see what DNS settings are

    For some strange reason the ip adress was manually configured. So went back to automatic and it worked.
