I use a wi-fi connection at home. I use 2 notebooks with XP, and the work
without any problem...i surf on the internet, download, use messenger...With
the new notebook HP Compaq 6720s, with Vista, i can't use internet. Even if
it says that the computer is connected to internet.
Does anybody know what to do? Thanks

You probably have a WiFi router at home. Can you PING the router from your
Vista PC?

If PING works, is Vista set as a DHCP client? And, are you getting a valid
IPA via DHCP?

I reseted the router because the Vista PC got connected to the router but
not to internet. Once reseted the router everything worked. I had to reset it
from the XP PC, i couldn't do it from Vista. The router is a Digicom
