I have just bought a dell computer (Intel® CoreT i5 Processor 650) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit loaded on it.
I am having serious problems getting onto the wireless internet though.
The wireless card in the desktop is a dell wireless 1525 WLAN card
The router is a Netgear Pro Safe WGL102.
I previosly had a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista on which connected to the router with no problems. On clicking on Internet Explorer it was required to enter a username and password at a Netgear portal before actually getting onto the internet. This was due to the wireless network being open to all residents in our apartment block (6 apartments). Each resident has individual login details for when the Netgear portal is displayed.
I am currently seeing that the wireless network is showing up as 'connected' yet it says 'No Internet Access' and there is a small yellow shield with a '!' in it displayed next to the signal strength. It also states that it is an unsecured connection.
Unfortunately, i no longer have the laptop and so i cannot compare the settings.
This is a huge problem as i run an internet based company and so will be losing customers every day that i cannot access the internet.
I have spend two days searching the internet on my mobile trying to find help but have found nothing to fix the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
