I have a wirless laptop which I am trying to connect to a wireless network in a new house I have moved in to.
The existing people in this house have no problem using the internet.
I have no problem connecting to the network using the network password and it shows that my network signal is strong.
However when I open up internet explorer to open up a web page no information is downloaded to the page and it stays blank.
I have had no problems in the past using other wireless networks.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the forum techcute.

Are you trying to connect to someone else's wireless network? You may see a strong signal but are not connecting because it is protected. Depending on the network protection, you will need the password/wep code to connect.
