wireless connection connected but can't connect to the internet

Asked Dec 6, 2006, 10:35 AM — 6 Answers
Hello! I just hooked up a Linksys wireless router to my PC, and I have a connection on my laptop, but I get a "the page cannot be displayed" message when I try to connect to the internet. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks!

Give linksys tech support a call. They have excellent 24/7 toll free support and they can walk you through the configuration of the laptop.

Just checking in. I called Linksys and they helped me! I'm in my living room now with my laptop! Yipee!
They were very helpful and friendly, too!
Have a great day and a very Merry Christmas and a Haooy New Year!

Thanks for letting us know. I've had a few experiences with their tech support and I found them to be very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Linksys tends to be a little more expensive then other brands, but their support makes it worth it.

Yes, I almost bought a different brand. Now I'm glad I didn't!
Bye for now,
