Default wireless network connects ok but no internet access

I am able to connect to network using dialup and have internet access
but when I connect using wirless network connection, I am able to
connect , but cannot open any internet site from browser starting with
www.or with IP address.

The status of the network connection is ok. Have checked IE's
connections tab, run winsockXPfix.exe and reset the TCP/IP.
Also reinstalled the wirless card driver but cannot open any web site

Any suggestions? Ideas will be really helpful

Thanks in advance.
Abhijit

Connect using dial-up is using a earthlink and the telephone line which
allows internet access
For the wirless, I am able to connect to the network but unable to
access any website. I have a intel pro wireless card in my laptop and
connect using comcast and netgear.

Thanks in advance.

Abhijit,

How do you know that you're connecting to the network? Can you ping, or access
anything, when connected?

Please describe, with more detail, how everything connects to each other, and
what make and model network equipment is involved.

What do you mean by "cannot open any internet site from browser starting with
www."? Can you open any internet sites at all? Can you ping anything by name,
or by ip address?

Have you activated ICS? got to start, connect to, show all connections.
Right click on the dial up icon. click on the advanced tab and activate
internet sharing. Make sure the other PC's/laptops are set to receive an IP
address automatically.

I cannot open internet sites, but can open my office outlook web access
( I guess that means I am able to connect to the network)
Cannot ping anything by name or ip address.

I am not sure about the make and model network equipment involved, but
it is netgear equipment . I have only one laptop with XP(no other
computer, should I still activate ICS ), which has the intel pro
wireless 2915ABG network connection.

I also tried connecting to the free Wi-Fi zone available from the city
and have the same problem.
I tried installing the driver for intel pro wireless 2915ABG network
connection but still have same problem.

Thanks in advance
Abhijit

Abhijit,

OK, you can connect, and you can get Outlook web to work (can you get Outlook
email to work too?). This still sounds like an LSP / Winsock problem.
winsockXPfix, and TCP/IP reset, are only 2 possible solutions out of the 6 I
know of. Try the other 4, one at a time.

Yes the outlook web email works.
I also tried other web sites which do not have www in the url address
like http://webbranch.techcu.com and they open up fine.

One more info, when I do ping 216.239.39.99(the IP address of google
server) I receive back 4 packets, with no loss of data, but when I do
ping www.google.com it just hangs in there.
Also when I type http://216.239.39.99 in the browser, the website does
not open up.

I will try out the solutions in your link

Thanks for all the help
Abhijit

I was trying out things and realised that with the wireless
connectivity any https site can be opened, but any http site does not
open
Thanks
