Hello,

I have a Dell laptop with Windows XP which is connected to a wireless network. Windows is currently managing my wireless connection, and tells me that I am connected to my network and the signal strength is excellent. I have always been able to use the internet perfectly on this laptop with these settings, and then suddenly I cannot get on IE or MSN.. to make it more confusing, occasionally Bittorrent programs work and will download, but still IE will not connect to sites.

I tried connecting the laptop by hardwiring it to the internet connection, and this didn't work either: it said I was connected, but nothing was working.

Any suggestions?

Is there interent hooked up to the connection and is it working, have you looked at your wireless router ( what type is being used) does it show a proper internet connection.

I think security settings and would also suspect your firewall or router
