An x means your preferred network is not currently
available or you are not currently in range to connect.
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.
Your notebook may not have the same workgroup name
as the other computers on your network.
If your notebook was previously connected directly to
your cable or DSL modem, and your ISP requires you
to use a static IP address, your notebook is not set up to
use a DHCP server. Modify the network properties so
your notebook is set up for using a DHCP server.
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.
