Solution

I can connect to an
access point, but I
cannot connect to
other computers on
the network or the
Internet.

This could be a

or a network
configuration problem.

Check to make sure that the access point is physically
connected to the Ethernet network.
Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking
parameters are all configured correctly.
Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and
notebook PC.
