Reset the power on your cable or DSL modem and your
access point. This reestablishes communication
between your Internet Service Provider and your
modem and between your modem and your access
point.
If you previously accessed the Internet through a
dial-up modem, Internet Explorer may not be set up to
access the Internet through a network. Remove the
dial-up connection in the Internet Options in Internet
Explorer.
If your notebook is a member of a domain at your
workplace, you may not be able to connect your
notebook to your home network workgroup to access
shared files or printers on your home network. You may,
however, be able to access the Internet through your
home network.
Caution
If your notebook was a member of a domain before you join a
workgroup, it is disjoined from the domain and your computer account
disabled. Contact your company computer department or network
administrator for more information.
Every home network is unique. See the documentation
that came with your network equipment for
troubleshooting information.
When wireless networking is turned on, it automatically
scans for available connections. The scan can take
approximately 30 seconds to complete.
