I received an old laptop for free last week which has been working great. I did not yet sign up with an ISP, but I have been logging on at coffee houses, libraries and other WIFI locations.
I'm at my mom's house and she has Comcast. I logged in via the laptop and it says I'm connected to Comcast with an excellet signal quality. The problem is, I can't browse the Internet! I opened up IE and Firefox and it says I'm not connected to the Internet, but the (Intel wireless icon) says I am still connected to Comcast with a strong signal.
I feel like I'm losing my mind...all I want to do is browse the Internet on my OWN laptop. My mom is using her computer in the other room. What am I doing wrong?
P.S. I'm online now from my mom's room but she wants me to get off so she can get her work done - help!! THANK YOU
